Thoroughly enjoyed working with Tudor Girba on writing chapter 4 of Rewilding Software Engineering : flexing those thinking muscles. Some fairly meaty issues in this chapter. Hopefully, as with mapping, others will find it useful.

18F's website has been removed. Hours after the staff was laid off, the whole damn site is gone, including hundreds of blog entries and essential resources. The entire De-risking Guide that I wrote, vanished from the internet.

I've heard @swardley.bsky.social talking about conversational computing for a while. It didn't really click until I tested cline.bot

Another nailed prediction.
