πŸ”— New #article: If you thought the speed of writing code was your problem - you have bigger problems

> The speed of writing code was never your problem. If you thought it was, the gap between that belief and reality is where all your actual problems live. The competitive advantage doesn't go to the team that writes code fastest. It goes to the team that figured out what to build, and built it.

If you thought the speed of writing code was your problem - you have bigger problems | Andrew Murphy

AI coding tools are optimising the wrong thing and nobody wants to hear it. Writing code was already fast. The bottleneck is everything else: unclear requirements, review queues, terrified deploy cultures, and an org chart that needs six meetings to decide what colour the button should be.

🍿 New #movie watched: Sovereign (2025) β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜†

A father and son who identify as Sovereign Citizens, a group of anti-government extremists, find themselves in a standoff with a chief of police that sets off a manhunt.

> This is a really intriguing story, with a parent deep in their self-belief leading their son on a dangerous path. Lovely performances and a sedate screenplay with two powerful punches.
