The engineer's role isn't disappearing, it's changing: towards defining outcomes, designing the development system, & knowing when human judgement needs to interrupt autonomy. More on this week's ep, with host @leantomato & @Skyscanner’s Michael Tweed: thenextcommit.substack.com/p…

.@Skyscanner treats reliability as non-negotiable — strong SLAs, traveller-first commitments — even while AI lets them ship faster than ever 🚀 This week on The Next Commit, find out how they hold both at once. Listen to the episode here: thenextcommit.substack.com/p…

Agent-generated code is already part of everyday production work at @Skyscanner. Principal Engineer Michael Tweed says there's no going back to reviewing it line by line. So what replaces that step? Find out on this week's ep, hosted by @leantomato. thenextcommit.substack.com/p…

Tomorrow: Tom Howlett talks to Michael Tweed, Principal Engineer at @Skyscanner, about what four years of AI adoption actually changed for their engineering org — and what it now takes to lead it. New episode of The Next Commit drops at 6am ET!

Legacy refactoring used to be a bet you couldn't justify – expensive, risky, easy to defer forever. Do agents change that math entirely? Find out on this week's episode of The Next Commit, with @leantomato and @tottinge. Watch, listen, and subscribe: thenextcommit.substack.com/p…

Small increments. Tests. Refactoring. Still the fundamentals, says @tottinge. Agents haven't changed that. Get them right and you get a real boost, as agents make engineering discipline more practical to apply. More on this week's ep of The Next Commit: thenextcommit.substack.com/p…

The Next Commit is back 🎙️ Our next guest doesn't let the agent refactor whenever it feels like it — he built a checkpoint so the decision to change shape stays human. Meet Tim Ottinger (@tottinge) ⬇️ Full ep: thenextcommit.substack.com/p… Listen + subscribe: thenextcommit.substack.com

Developers are headed somewhere specific, says Ian 👀 Not “building the thing” but “building the thing that builds it,” with agents pulling unblocked work straight off your Kanban board. More on this week’s episode of The Next Commit: bit.ly/3ViEkEs

A good coding rule has to tell the truth. If your controllers are bloated today, say so, with a transitional rule for how you'll fix them. That's how Ian Johnson's team at @Parento_Leave keeps rules from going stale, until the code catches up. Full ep: bit.ly/3ViEkEs

The Next Commit just went live 🎙️ Our first guest doesn't just move faster with agents, he's engineered the system around them: honest charters, small tickets, & layered review. Meet Ian Johnson, staff engineer at @Parento_Leave ⬇️ Listen + subscribe @ thenextcommit.substack.com

Tomorrow, we're launching something new: The Next Commit🎙️ A podcast for devs who want to hear what’s working in AI coding, straight from the people doing it – hosted by @SonarSource’s @leantomato. First episode live at 6am ET. Listen + subscribe ⬇️ thenextcommit.substack.com
