Effective dev practices are mostly the same as effective AI practices. - Limit WIP. - Check in often. - Iterate based on feedback. - Create small, focused tickets. - Implement strong automated quality checks. - Avoid vague requests. Garbage in, garbage out.

Quality if everyone's job, but only some take responsibility for it.
Quality is everyone's job. Not a phase. Not a department. Not a gate at the end. Everyone every day.

In North America, that would result in a third lane of cars 😔
Wow! If only we could make THIS the norm in the UK - imagine how many lives would be saved/improved if emergency vehicles could get to crash sites faster.

Code reviews are a necessary evil for many teams, for which an alternative is probably needed.
Just learned a team at Microsoft is doing code reviews *after* merge. Why? To move faster. No more pausing work to wait for code reviews. No need for stacked PRs. No more time-consuming merge conflicts caused by long code review delays. This has risks, but may work well for a team that is: - mature - high trust - has strong automated quality checks
