I recently finished an experiment where I tried to write (and publish) daily, so I wrote a retrospective on it. For those interested 👇

Making the decision to stop writing code by hand a few months ago was the biggest small change I made that helped me see LLMs differently. It took a while, but I finally like programming with them.
Wrote a post that shares some thoughts on that 👇

If we want to build software factories (still an if for me), how can we build good ones?
And I don’t know about you, but I think it all comes down to verification. 👇

A few weeks ago, @tomasztomczyk.bsky.social was kind enough to pair with me and show me his AI workflow.
It was an awesome pairing session where he showed me everything, from his new tool (crit), custom skills, commands, workflows, etc. 👇

I've been writing daily in my newsletter for a couple of weeks now.
Some days things just come out flowing like I've been meaning to write them for a while.
This blog post was one of those (adapted from a daily post). Hope others enjoy it!

My guess is that most software development teams in the world are at a point where we are drawing the two circles. Those are all the teams where developers use LLMs daily. But then you hear about team...
Anybody interested in pairing with me (and recording) to show how you're using AI in your day-to-day for ElixirStreams?
I think there's a lot of siloed information (and hints online). So, I'd love to shed some light with real people showing real usage.

Recorded a couple of tutorials to help onboarding in Harkn, and figured, why not just put them in a docs page?
For those interested in Harkn, these are glimpses into how it works too 👇

After some deliberation, I finally decided to make www.TestingLiveView.com free!
I still think it's an amazing resource, but my focus is elsewhere now. So, I wanted to make it a free resource for the community.

I decided to write daily (for 30 days) on my newsletter (www.germanvelasco.com#newsletter_f...)
I really like writing as a tool to sharpen my thinking.
So far, I've talked about sharpening our tools, stacking days, isoquants and isocots lines. If that sounds interesting, join me!

Back in April, I decided to write daily for my newsletter. Up to that point, my newsletter was mostly a delivery mechanism for my blog. But I wanted to change that. I wanted to write more.
If you're using LLMs in your day-to-day workflow, and you're only using them as assistants that you ask questions of (like a glorified Google in your terminal or IDE), or if you call on them like a ge...
