Intent Engineering reframes AI software development around product intent rather than source code. By combining conceptual integrity, executable specifications, AI synthesis, and adversarial cooperation, it creates a continuous validation loop where software is generated, challenged, corrected, and kept aligned with the original product vision.
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to speak at Product Jam 2026, organized by the wonderful Product Makers Romania community. Eight minutes were enough to explain Gen AI, software architecture, testing, operations, product…

The Idea This idea didn’t come from a textbook or a framework slide deck, it emerged from many conversations about how to make systems better. Across teams, organizations, and roles, one pattern kept showing up:…
TL;DR Gen AI becomes reliable not through better prompts, but through layered feedback cycles that continuously align outputs with intent. When working with Gen AI tools, one of the most persistent misconceptions is that success…
Christopher Alexander’s Theory of Centers, introduced in his seminal works A Pattern Language (1977) and The Timeless Way of Building (1979), provides a framework for creating human-centered, dynamic, and sustainable designs in architecture and urbanism.…
My new book Practical Remote Pair Programming is available for pre-order. Learn how to be a better (remote) pair programmer: How to use pair programming efficiently Techniques and styles for pair programming Pair-programming with distributed…
I had Damien on my #RemotePairProgramming series and we also discussed about pair programming lessons: what we both learned about this practice. We talk about our pairing session, but also about our experience with pair programming in various situations.
Microservices are a hype. It made programmers more aware of methods to modularise large monolithic systems, because of stricter component boundaries.
