Notes from Matt Pocock's advice on context limits, vertical slices, TDD, and where human judgment still matters.
Keeping up with AI is easier than it looks
You do not need to follow every AI release. You need a narrow filter around the tools that affect your actual workflow.
Your team is probably using GitHub Copilot wrong. Here's what actually works.
Most teams already have Copilot. The real difference is whether they use it as a shared workflow or just another chat box.
The developer identity crisis
AI anxiety is real, but it's pointing at something bigger: a structural shift in what developers do and what the role becomes.
Want to build something?
I help small teams move software forward: frontend migrations, backend systems, and desktop tools that need to become real products.
