Two paths, same outcome: code without theory. Human-built systems lose understanding when developers leave. AI-generated systems may never build that understanding at all. In both cases, code survives but the mental model, rationale, and context disappear, violating Peter Naur’s view of programming as theory building. #AI #SoftwareEngineering #Programming #PeterNaur #LLM #TechLeadership #KnowledgeManagement #vibecoding

The most expensive cloud migration I ever worked on almost failed in a conference room. The tech was solid. The pitch wasn't.

The team led with infrastructure diagrams. Leadership needed to know: how much does staying cost, how much does moving cost, and what's the payoff. Same migration, reframed around business risk instead of architecture. It got funded.

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

Stalled AI initiatives have a very similar story.

The board wants a strategy. The CEO wants ROI. Somewhere in the middle, a working group explains why they can't move yet.

Governance isn't blocking these organisations. Leaders are.

The sequencing matters. Governance-first is a strategy for never shipping.

Three months in, the question isn't whether your data is clean enough — it's whether anyone is accountable for a result.

Buying an AI coding license doesn't make your team faster. Leverage comes from how tools get embedded in daily workflow: guardrails, review processes, patterns.

A disciplined team gets more disciplined. A sloppy team ships sloppier code faster. AI amplifies what's already there.

Ask what changed after adoption. That answer reveals your engineering culture more than any sprint report.

Surveys have shown that less than 2% of people one or two layers around you as a leader understand what the priorities are.

Julia Hoggett, the London Stock Exchange CEO, says she spends a third of her time constantly creating this clarity. When people feel responsible for an outcome, magic can happen.
