Unit tests are mini-experiments, and circular reasoning invalidates the results. We’ll explore how to spot this common pitfall, why it creates a false sense of security, and how to build truly effective tests by comparing code output to independently verified results.
AI is here to supercharge productivity and democratize programming, but it won’t replace human developers. GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke unpacks the critical skills needed in the AI era: code literacy, system thinking, and the continuous pursuit of learning to keep pace with the rapidly evolving tech landscape.
It’s time to bust some common myths in software development. Explore why chasing the latest tech and intellectual perfection isn’t always the path to real-world success. Learn how shipping reliable code often trumps performance micro-optimizations and premature scaling.
Ever feel compelled to rebuild every flawed system you encounter? We explore the developer’s burden: seeing every bug as a personal indictment, every clunky tool a mandate for refactoring. Discover why technical capability can become a moral weight, leading to burnout, and the unexpected skill of knowing when to walk away.
Think AI can replace your code reviews? Think again. Discover where AI falls short, why human context is king, and how these digital sidekicks can actually empower developers to build better software, faster. Tune in!
