What’s surprising me about The Pragmatic Engineer podcast is how may OGs of software development are using and having fun using LLMs/Agents. Kent Beck described it as addictive. Martin Fowler won’t use it for anything but throwaway prototypes. Addy Osmani uses it a ton. Simon Willison isn’t exactly an OG, but he’s is balls-deep in it. Farhan Thawar (my former boss, now Head of Dev @ Shopify) mandates its use in thoughtful ways. #programming #coding #ai #llm #vibecoding #aiassistedengineering
