The Dev Workshop

The Dev Workshop is for practical software engineering.
No shortcuts. No illusions. Just disciplined thinking, clean builds, and lessons learned through experience.

We discuss lessons from daily development: designing systems, finding and fixing bugs, and building software that works in practice. The perspective is senior engineering, with a focus on standards, maintainability, and correctness.

Topics include architecture, development practices, testing, tooling, and AI in software engineering. Used well, AI speeds up development, improves testing, identifies edge cases, and helps engineers understand complex systems more quickly.

AI isn’t a shortcut or a crutch here. It’s a collaborator that needs clear intent, strong basics, and human judgment. The focus is on using AI to write clear code, build stable systems, and make better—not just faster—decisions.

Sometimes that means fixing bugs with AI analysis. Sometimes it means using AI to design, validate, or test. It always means building lasting software.

If you want software that’s understandable, testable, reliable, and thoughtfully enhanced by AI, welcome to the workshop. Join the conversation, share your experiences, and explore how disciplined engineering and thoughtful AI can together shape the future of software.
