Developers often focus on improving their coding skills.

But it’s the non-coding skills that transform my developer career:

- Code review
- Planning
- Discovery
- Communication
- Collaboration
- Documentation
- Mentoring

What else would you add?

Nvidia just released a $249 computer that will change AI forever.

It's called the Jetson Nano - a tiny device that can run AI models locally.

This means AI can run without connecting to the cloud.

And it's about to spark the biggest tech battle of our time:

F# 1.0 was released almost 20 years ago. Funny how some languages are still playing catch-up.

It's endlessly both painful and ironic that the absolute best and absolute worst ways to build software both likely self-identity as agile.

Love to see a blog detailing the journey of implementing an agile process.

[steve westwood @stevewtech]

I don’t think I’ve ever read ‘this is our style of agile’ blog that doesn’t pretend they’ve answered all the questions.

[steve westwood @stevewtech]

Ironically there no acknowledgment of small incremental improvements, whether it be to the ideas or execution.
