"The causality of neglect is hard to see because it is an absence of a thing — care, attention, remediation, work — rather than a thing that is easily observed. Inaction lacks the visibility of action. Searching for improvement becomes more a question of “What are we not doing?” than “What are we doing wrong?”" (Kevlin Henney, You Will Never Know Enough)

Bad sign
A blast from the past: my keynote at Mobiconf 2016. I think the best bit is the Q&A. If you've got 15 minutes, I reckon it's worth a watch: programming paradigms, the nature of requirements, the human side of development, how AI may change software development.

Fascinating return to a future then [still] so lovely envisioned:

An arithmometer, a wooden box casing some switches and slides that act as an early digital calculator. It's all very steampunk with a dose of 70s rec room chic.
I know my geeks will love this. This is an arithmometer. It's your Texas Instruments digital calculator's great grandpappy. They started making these in the 1850s.

The Drake meme but for writing docs.
Watching devs suddenly discover that the ability to write was important all along...
71% of developers and leaders agree that engineering discipline is more important in AI-assisted and agentic workflows.
So why aren't we seeing an increase in investment in engineering capability yet?
It doesn't come with your Claude Code plan.
