Everyone is debating whether AI replaces developers.Nobody is asking if AI is the best pair programmer you have ever had. Pair programming has always produced better software. The evidence on that...
The dominant story in software development right now: AI writes the code, developers review the output, everyone learns to write better prompts. The developer becomes a prompt engineer, or optional,...
AI does not need MCP to call an API. It can make HTTP requests directly. Read the documentation. Handle authentication. Parse the response. No connector. No MCP server. Just the API and the model....
The skill that gets automated first is the one that looks most like translation work. Building flows in Power Automate is translation work: take a business requirement, find the right connectors,...
Connectors were always training wheels. They solved one specific problem: non-developers could not write API calls. So Microsoft built 400+ wrappers. Dropdowns instead of code. Useful. Genuinely...
Power Automate connectors were training wheels. That is not an insult. Training wheels are useful. They let you go somewhere you could not go without them. The question is whether you still need...
Before you write a try…catch, answer three questions: 1 Do you know exactly which exception will be thrown?Not something might go wrong. A specific type. A specific failure mode. If you are...
A conversation I have had dozens of times in code reviews: Me: Why are you catching this exception here? Developer: Otherwise the app would crash. Me: That is what we want. The reaction is always...
Your app should crash more often. Not because crashing is good. But because crashing is honest. When your app hits an unexpected state and crashes, you know exactly what happened. Stack trace....
Catching exceptions is not the same as handling them. Most developers do not know the difference, and it costs them. I was reviewing a pull request last week. Standard stuff: integration code,...
I only code 20% now. AI removed coding as the bottleneck.Understanding the problem is now the job. Code is cheap nowDecisions are expensiveClarity beats syntaxProduct thinking beats coding speed...
Power Platform might not age well. AI works best closer to the metal.Platforms are built for humans, not AI.
