My book was cancelled. But I'm not letting it go.
AI is writing our code. But how do you know it works? How do you know it delivers value?
The Feedback-Driven Developer is back: now independent, revised and with new chapters coming.

AI can help you be much more productive. Unfortunately, it can also be an expensive derailment of productivity when used badly. Here are my tips for getting the most out of AI for developers.

Developers used to think their job was to write code. But AI can do that now.
That's ok. It was never really our job. Our job was to deliver value, and you only know if you've done that when your software is in someone's hands.

AI seems smart because it's seen more good code than any developer ever will.
But it's also seen all the bad code, and it can't tell the difference.
That's where YOU come in.

Shipping isn't just deciding it's "ready." It's actively focusing to what your customer needs and pushing it out. Without feedback you're going the wrong way and you don't even know it.
Ch 6 of The Feedback-Driven Developer is out. Discount still on.

Is it better to wait for feedback? Or get it as you go?
@codecapers joined @mattwatsonkc on the Product Driven pod to explain why feedback early & often leads to better apps.

It was really awesome to recently talk with @mattwatsonkc on the Product Driven Podcast about how feedback is at the heart of an effective development process.

Continuing my series on more effective testing I've got a new post up about data-driven test generation.
Capturing data & generating tests is a much faster way to get your code under test than if you were writing code for each of your tests.

I've spent a lot of time thinking about how to build & test my distributed synchronizing database.
I have a blog post out now talking about some of the work that is going into this.

I officially know how to AWS!
I'm now an AWS Certified Developer Associate. It was more difficult than I expected, I had studied for several months and I put the exam off for a month so I could feel more confident.
But now I know more about AWS than I will probably ever need 😁
