Currently head of the mobile team at @XM_COM. Strongly believe in static type systems and other things that constrain our imagination.

Software delivery can often be soul draining. For everybody. It requires lots of coordination and coordinating people is hard. Coordinating people with different incentives is even harder.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

We have entered the Agentic Coding Era.

I've been on the Claude Code Max plan for some weeks now, and agentic coding has blown my mind:
- Handling solo projects, I wouldn’t dare to take on without a team
- Working on 3 projects in parallel
- Delivering full-stack features daily

Not Scrum, not Waterfall, not SAFe, not Jira or any other buzzword.

Those are not the building blocks, but the ways to achieve A and B.

Thinking in first principles is about breaking down complex problems into their fundamental building blocks.

We applied it with @koutkiasv and we found out that software delivery is essentially two things:

A. tracking progress
B. handling unforeseen disruptions

[George Sotiropoulos @qqefy]

We joined forces with @koutkiasv and revisited the problem from scratch. We found out that a lot of the complexity is actually accidental.

Some more unexpected use cases and nice to have side effects and of course some challenges that still remain.
