I did my first-ever AMA episode. Your questions, my answers! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:56 From Uber to writing 09:22 AI-native SDLC 14:00 AI and hiring 19:06 Engineers currently thriving 22:18 Junior roles 24:44 Meta’s war mode 27:54 AI at Big Tech vs. startups 36:46 Tech debt 41:36 Types of engineering managers 44:40 Measuring AI productivity 48:30 The value of CS degrees 50:53 AI at Pragmatic Engineer 56:09 Future-proofing your career 1:01:36 The EU job market 1:03:55 Making money as a creator 1:08:20 What’s next for The Pragmatic Engineer 1:09:27 Bunq and Pollen 1:13:38 Spotting trends 1:14:33 Book updates 1:15:20 Favorite books & tech products 1:17:13 What won’t change in engineering Brought to you by @AntithesisHQ: verify your system’s correctness without human review or traditional integration tests – and avoid bugs or outages. Here's a fun fact I don't think I've shared before: without the COVID-19 pandemic, The Pragmatic Engineer might not exist. Prior to the global health crisis in 2020, I had no plans to get serious about writing: I enjoyed blogging on The Pragmatic Engineer blog, but intended to remain an engineering manager or software engineer for the foreseeable future. But then, COVID-19 happened and Uber made layoffs, which led to a quarter of my team being let go, while the rest of us were disbanded into other teams. It was a tough time, and I decided it was a good moment to exit and finish writing a book I had been working on, ‘The Software Engineer’s Guidebook’. After that project was complete, I planned to try and start a VC-funded startup and build something around platform engineering; possibly a system for tracking RFCs at mid-sized and larger companies. I gave myself around eight months to finish the book, but when that deadline elapsed, it still wasn’t ready. I did write three other books (‘The Tech Resume Inside-Out’, ‘Building Mobile Apps at Scale’, and ‘Growing as a Mobile Engineer’) and still wasn’t convinced by any startup idea. But I did discover that I like to write!
