I've coded as a hobby for a long time - mostly scripts and simple text-based games.

Over the last couple years I've been working to formalize my software development expertise.

One reason I did this was for the potential of changing careers.

Seeing AI and Vibe Coding, I'm starting to think this is a dead-end for me.

I love Systems, Analytics, Automation, Optimization, etc.

Are there other potential careers for a late career re-direction?

Did you know you can create diagrams using code? It's not even just for coders, non-technical people can pick it up too.
Join me online to discover when and how to use diagrams-as-code, models, and #AI in your designs and diagrams 🤔 🤖

Create diagrams-as-code as well as understand the diagrams-as-code that an LLM might generate for you.

A photo of Jacqui Read on stage at DDD Europe. Text says: Diagrams-as-Code with AI. Create diagrams alongside your code that are useable with LLMs. April 23 & 30, 9.30am-1pm CET, 2-5.30pm IST, 4.30-8pm AWST.

I work as a software developer for a manufacturing company. Building software for all departments.

It's a pain because one minute I'm working on stock control then the next I'll be in a meeting about our quality inspection software, on the way back from the meeting I'll be asked about HR stuff or something to fix for the commercial team 😅

Just a lot to remember.

I need a good way of recording all of it. Jira is fine for chucking a request on but then I come to it in 2 weeks and wonder what it's even about 🤣

🚨 AI Code Assistants: A Double-Edged Sword? 🚨

AI-powered coding tools are revolutionizing development workflows, but they come with hidden dangers:

🔹 Hallucinated Dependencies: AI suggests packages that don’t exist.
🔹 Slopsquatting Attacks: Malicious actors register these fake packages, leading to potential security breaches.
🔹 Automated Installation Risks: Some AI agents might auto-install these without developer awareness.
🔹 False Legitimacy: AI-generated summaries can falsely validate these malicious packages.

🛡️ Stay Vigilant: Always double-check AI-generated code and dependencies. Trust, but verify.

The pressures on tech workers to "democratize disciplines" and "become generalists" has enabled the rise template ronin - grifters peddling simple, quick, and cheap "solutions" that don't actually fix anything.

Together with their loyal AI squires, template ronin leave a trail of destruction for the rest of us to clean up.

In my latest issue, I go over how to fight back.

Learning “best practices” by rote has produced a cohort of shallow generalists. Solving real-world challenges requires tailoring your methods to the problem's unique context.
