A company (that I cannot name) has been telling me about how practicing pair programming has led them to cut feature lead time to less than 1/3, less bugs, and shipping more features per release.

If PP is such an issue for devs, how come such a transformation? 🤔

Good architecture isn’t about getting it right first time, it's about being able to adapt and change safely. Maintaining a vision and direction, even as we change the target we are aiming for.

As engineers, our job remains fundamentally anchored in two core activities: managing complexity and optimizing for learning. New AI tools are seductive, frictionless, and incredibly convenient, but we must apply them strategically to augment these engineering skills.

AI programming’s worrying stat: 70% of developers trust the output. We need an intervention.

New research from DORA confirms AI is ubiquitous. 95% of developers rely on it, and 80% report productivity gains. But there is a massive and dangerous disconnect.
