Honored to see my piece recognized by the Dev Community. I am grateful for the conversations and insights it provided. It’s always the small details that teach the biggest lessons. Article link: https://t.co/aDLdBmYrvj @dashaun

I really doubt if this piece about Fable 5 is true 🤔. Anyway, there's only one way to find out...

The foundational premise of software engineering for the past half-century has officially expired this week. A groundbreaking peer-reviewed paper published on arXiv on June 5, 2026, details how AI agents are fundamentally dismantling the classical coding paradigm. For 50 years, our job was to decompose complex human problems into static code lines, relying on CI/CD, microservices, and human logic. Today, we are shifting into a "Reasoning Mesh" where code is no longer written to be permanent it is dynamically generated, executed, and discarded by autonomous agents on the fly. This structural shift introduces a massive "Decision Fatigue" across engineering organizations. We are no longer testing syntax or resolving compilation bottlenecks; we are struggling to govern autonomous intent, control API blast radiuses, and maintain data state persistence while agents constantly rewrite the application's core under our feet. In this "vibe code" era, writing code is a fully automated commodity. The true senior engineers of tomorrow are not code authors they are system architects designing the operational parameters, boundaries, and evaluation loops for self-evolving agent networks. Are you building a system, or are you just watching an agent refactor your legacy stack into obsolescence? #SoftwareEngineering #AgenticAI #arXiv2026 #SystemArchitecture #VibeCoding #CloudComputing #DevOps

Some context What I want to do is bring 20 more devs to Nyamarambe, each earning a minimum of 150k a month. Most of them will come from Nairobi. We're also preparing for the next cohort of students in September. By the end of next year, Reduzer alone is going to pump around Ksh 6 million a month through salaries, and I don't want that money going elsewhere. I want it to circulate in this town. The biggest issue right now is housing, both residential and commercial. My devs are coming from Nairobi, and they're forced to look for decent houses in Kisii or Rongo. They need a good place to stay, nice hotels, entertainment, a good social life which is not here yet. So I've started renting individual houses and renovating them. It's a proof of concept. I want to show the landlords here what it means to provide decent living, and show them that people are actually willing to pay for it. It's a long shot, but I'm very hopeful, since this is something Reduzer is genuinely interested in
