The New HTTP QUERY Method Every REST API Should Use (RFC 10008)

REST has always had a weak spot: complex queries. GET can’t carry enough data in a URL, so most teams fake it with POST — and lose caching, safe retries, and idempotency in the process. HTTP just got a fix: a new verb called QUERY. This video reacts to a LinkedIn post by Martin Forstner, […]

Design By Subtraction

Adding features feels productive. Often, it is not. Reacting to Oskar Dudycz’s article “Addition by Subtraction in Software Design,” I go through his own admission of over-engineering his contract-testing library, Strictland – and why the fix wasn’t adding more options, it was removing them. This is a commentary on: https://www.architecture-weekly.com/p/addition-by-subtraction-in-software What we cover: Two rules

What the Printing Press Debate Can Teach Us About GenAI

Every argument you’re hearing against large language models today — stolen data, lost jobs, power concentrating in a few hands — was made against the printing press five centuries ago. Looking at how that played out tells us something about where we’re headed with AI. In this video, I compare the ethical criticism of LLMs

The AI Adoption Journey Every Developer Goes Through

There’s a predictable path developers go through when adopting AI coding assistants — from “this is useless for programming” to “I can build agents that solve certain problem types.” This video maps that path on two axes: trust in AI output, and trust in AI autonomy. What’s covered: Wherever you are on this graph right

Specs over Code: How AI is Changing Software

With AI coding assistants generating good-enough first drafts, implementation details and syntax mastery are becoming less important than specifications and systems design. This video explores where that shift is heading — and where it can go wrong. The core idea: small, well-specified “black box” modules that AI agents can generate, test, and regenerate on demand,

AI Assistants for Software Architects: How to Use Them Right

Most developers aren’t using AI assistants anywhere near their full potential for architecture work. This video breaks down a practical framework for using AI at every stage of making a strategic technical decision — not to get “the perfect answer,” because that doesn’t exist in architecture, but to make better-informed trade-offs. What’s covered: AI won’t

11 Tips to Reduce AI Costs in Software Development

AI budgets hit faster than expected. Token costs compound quietly in the background — until you’re mid-sprint and suddenly hitting limits. This video walks through 11 practical techniques developers can use to reduce AI costs without reducing what AI does for them. What’s covered: Every token saved is a token you can spend on harder

More AI Code, Less Production-Ready

AI tools are generating 110% more code. Lead times are up 480%. Code churn is up 861%. Something is very wrong. This is a commentary on the Faros AI Engineering Report 2026 (“The Acceleration Whiplash”), surfaced by Kent Beck’s LinkedIn post. The data covers 22,000 developers across 4,000 teams. Kent Beck’s post: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/kentbeck_the-ai-engineering-report-2026-the-ai-acceleration-share-7471011014738841600-JErm/Faros report: https://www.faros.ai/blog/ai-acceleration-whiplash-takeaways

Go Slow to Go Fast with AI: Writing Better Code, Not More Code

Most developers using AI are optimizing for the wrong thing. Speed metrics and line counts are not quality — and AI makes that confusion worse, not better. This video is a reaction to Nolan Lawson’s article “Using AI to write better code more slowly,” published May 2026: https://nolanlawson.com/2026/05/25/using-ai-to-write-better-code-more-slowly/ Topics covered: Going slow with AI isn’t
