Why your software project is behind schedule (and over budget)
Software projects rarely fail on technical work. They fail on long feedback loops, unvalidated trust, and gut-feeling estimates — all three fixable.

software development
Why you always need to be wrong
Assume you are wrong by default: why verification built into your workflow beats confidence, and how short feedback loops catch what you cannot see.
Why every developer needs a personal website
Why every developer should build a personal website: practice explaining technical work to non-technical people, own your content, grow your career.
The role of writing
Why writing is a developer’s most underrated skill — clear prose sharpens thinking, spreads knowledge, and becomes a superpower in the age of LLMs.
The role of iterating
Why small, iterative steps beat big-bang delivery: lessons from growing into an agile developer, one short feedback loop at a time.
The role of tests
How automated tests transformed twelve years of software development — a personal retrospective on quality, confidence, and lessons learned.
productivity
Why I never tell AI what to do
Stop giving AI instructions. Describing the problem and asking questions first produces better results — the AI knows patterns, you know your context.
