Compound Engineering Has What HVE Lacks
Microsoft named its AI development workflow Hypervelocity Engineering. Every named theirs Compound Engineering. Different vendors, different branding, and underneath both of them, the same move:...

We Built Tools for Developers. AI Doesn’t Need Them.
Why developers are becoming product thinkers faster than expected I used to think coding would always be my core work. Not just part of it, but the core. Even when AI tools started improving, I...
