Max van IJs­sel­muiden explores ​“pro­duc­tive pro­cras­ti­na­tion” — doing enjoy­able, pro­duc­tive work that avoids nec­es­sary tasks. He exam­ines why we choose new­er projects over over­due work, ana­lyzes a pro­duc­tiv­i­ty matrix from Casey Nei­s­tat, and inves­ti­gates the brain sci­ence behind pro­cras­ti­na­tion, includ­ing how neg­a­tive emo­tions trig­ger avoid­ance behav­ior.

I have been speak­ing pub­licly at devel­op­er con­fer­ences for over a decade and in that time I’ve seen plen­ty of oth­er peo­ple giv­ing talks. Every­one gives talks…

Why every role seems like an engi­neer­ing role now (and what it means for you)

Microsoft is adopt­ing Anthrop­ic’s Claude Code inter­nal­ly for its engi­neer­ing teams, even non-devel­op­ers, despite sell­ing GitHub Copi­lot.

This arti­cle details a widen­ing gap between advanced and basic AI users. It argues M365 Copi­lot’s flaws and restric­tive enter­prise IT poli­cies hin­der effec­tive AI adop­tion, pos­ing an exis­ten­tial risk for busi­ness­es.

Nolan Law­son’s ​“We mourn our craft” explores AI’s impact on pro­gram­ming. He laments AI reduc­ing pro­gram­mers to review­ers, end­ing man­u­al cod­ing as a craft.

AI makes ​“just cod­ing” insuf­fi­cient for devel­op­ers. To stay valu­able, they need deep busi­ness domain knowl­edge and broad­er skills beyond pure cod­ing.

AI is suck­ing the fun and cre­ativ­i­ty out of com­mer­cials and adver­tis­ing, and it’s only going to suck hard­er by the end of 2026.

This arti­cle flips the script on AI’s impact on jobs. It argues AI’s effi­cien­cy could actu­al­ly increase labor demand and expec­ta­tions, lead­ing to more work, not less. A com­pelling look at AI’s true tra­jec­to­ry.

With AI excelling at cod­ing, soft­ware engi­neers must pri­or­i­tize soft skills. This arti­cle explains why com­mu­ni­ca­tion and empa­thy are now crit­i­cal for suc­cess, mak­ing human inter­ac­tion your most valu­able asset.

It seems iron­ic that I’m even typ­ing this, but the very thing I’ve delib­er­ate­ly moved away from over the years — putting my face to my brand — has now become absolute­ly essen­tial. If Cre­ative Boom, or any inde­pen­dent pub­li­ca­tion, is going to sur­vive the next 12 months, we need to act fast. And I’m not being dra­mat­ic. AI is fun­da­men­tal­ly chang­ing how peo­ple access infor­ma­tion…

We’ve final­ly crossed an inflec­tion point of mod­el util­i­ty where the out­put is actu­al­ly worth more than the cost for real dev work. It’s start­ing to make sense to throw lots of mon­ey towards infer­ence.

Michelle explains what build­ing a humane web means to her and how notions of per­fec­tion­ism can stand in the way of devel­op­ers build­ing it.

Intel­li­gent peo­ple sim­ply aren’t will­ing to accept answers that they don’t under­stand — no mat­ter how many oth­er peo­ple try to con­vince them of it, or how many oth­er peo­ple believe it, if they aren’t able to con­vince them selves of it, they won’t accept it.

You can plan, strate­gize, chunk, fold, spin­dle, and muti­late a project for count­less per­son-hours, and you still won’t know the dif­fi­cul­ties that lay ahead in actu­al­ly writ­ing the code.
