Join ACCU For Access To Journals
ACCU members receive two fantastic journals:
C Vu - The formal journal of ACCU for its members Overload - Journal focusing on all aspects of software development
Memberships from just £35/year: https://accu.org/menu-overviews/membership/
Plot twist: After decades of being the "best profession on earth," software engineers are discovering they actually need to... engineer solutions, not just implement tickets. Revolutionary! 
The "squeeze" is real - time to evolve from ticket-taker to problem-solver, or risk becoming obsolete in the AI age.

Filled in a questionaire.
"What should urgently change within your area?"
My answer from the top of my head: "The avoidance of complexity should be seen as a top skill. "Corporate agile" should make way for "real agile". Value for humans should be the center of attention."
Anyone has other (maybe better?) answers?
A developer intern asked me for one piece of advice…
Here’s my response:
"...I know this isn't quite what you asked for but:
Ask as many questions as possible - there are no stupid questions.
Even very senior developers get things wrong, quite often!
The landscape can shift in the blink of an eye... 
Recently, I was integrating a new API...
As it was new, I set myself an exploratory task of being able to make a particular call using Postman…
I gave myself a comfortable 2 hours to get it done...
For several reasons, I found myself 90 mins in, having made what felt like zero progress...

Article with one minute video showing four lisp images chattering unattended.
There is no leader- they're just talking. However, they are using #emacs #slime #eepitch and sleeps so you can usefully watch them.
A precursor to next week's episode featuring @ksaj discussing breitenbergian vehicles etc.
Do you use a cluster of #lisp images?
and coverage without the overhead of full integration tests.
Tools like PACT facilitate this process, allowing easy verification of interactions between applications.
If you're finding integration tests to be overkill, consider contract testing with PACT! #DevOps #Testing #SoftwareEngineering

The Repository pattern isolates data access logic from business logic. Your business code shouldn't know if data comes from MySQL, PostgreSQL, or a file. Makes testing and changes easier. #SoftwareEngineering #DesignPatterns

"The cost of writing code has indeed dropped. But the cost of making sense of it together as a team hasn't. That's still the bottleneck."

Functional black box tests like #Cucumber BDD Tests should not access internals of the app like the database. If the black box has no external API expose the results, why is it worth checking the result in the first place?
Use APIs to create the initial state, use APIs to conduct the test, use APIs to verify the result.
Ah yes, the enlightening revelation that the true bottleneck in software engineering isn't the *coding*, but the excruciatingly sluggish machinery of human interaction. 
Apparently, writing code is child's play compared to surviving the soul-crushing marathon of endless #meetings and the "joys" of office camaraderie.

Some days, you get your head down and crack on…
The next time you lift your head again, the day is nearly over...
If you’re lucky, it’s been a productive day…
If not…
You’ve spent it banging your head against a brick wall…
I’ve lost many a day like this, only to solve my issue after a good night's sleep…
Instead of losing a whole day, there’s another solution…
Debunking the myth: AI tools like GitHub Copilot & Gemini Agent Mode aren't replacing devs—they're transforming the game! 
Human creativity, ethics, and judgment remain key. Hybrid future is here. #AI #SoftwareEngineering #TechTrends
