Autocomplete was never the point. Agentic AI is. It changes where leverage sits, not who’s responsible - and "vibe coding" is often used dismissively to avoid engaging with that shift. https://t.co/l95adZzMUr #SoftwareEngineering #AgenticAI

Love the playful metaphor from @noctovis of the potential disconnect between dev and UX, as the designers being over on "Figma island" 🤣 #ndclondon

@_josephwoodward I think you're right! Usually too busy sweating to notice anything 😅

Looks like I pushed a show that's typically around 40 minutes long, over an hour for my guest appearance. Hope it's a good listen and you learning something new, audience!🤪Was great to work with @ecbanks & @Ned1313 @opentelemetry #observability

@ParryMalm @TrungTPhan Worth doing a job you enjoy enough, with a good work-life balance, to not feel the need to retire early. 🤔

"It's a fallacy to believe that security flaws only exist when development is completed. "

Thank you to @clear_bank for sharing one of your security engineers, @TomLingDev with us yesterday at @HomesEngland. Excellent talk and demo of threat modelling to our software community.

@ShahidDev @stevejgordon I tried very hard not to accidentally type that :)

[Ben Hall @benhall_io]

Nice setup made me look like a seasoned pro. Even had a clicker! Great hosts, great attendees. Hope to return again.

[Dev Ops North East @devops_ne_uk]

Fantastic turn out tonight for DevOps North East to hear @benhall_io talk passionately about #observability and Lakshmikanth (Lucky) Balasundaram talk #devsecops thanks to SPG Transformation for hosting us and pizzas see you all again in March! #devops

[Ben Hall @benhall_io]

@ha1fling And with that, having to explain it simply makes you learn it deeply :) I learnt more teaching than I did as a student.

[Ben Hall @benhall_io]

@KevlinHenney @NDC_Conferences Excellent talk, thanks Kevlin. Really liked the refreshing take on non-functional requirements. Any further reading you could recommend on the requirements axes? #ndclondon

[Ben Hall @benhall_io]

The familiar glow of #ndclondon. Some great stuff on the agenda. Hope to bump into some familiar faces and meet some new ones!
