Writing on software engineering, architecture, delivery, and the craft of building software.https://adiutama.xyz/https://adiutama.xyz/blog/introducing-symphonia/https://adiutama.xyz/blog/introducing-symphonia/I built a native macOS workspace for coding agents around one idea: supporting tools should come forward when needed without rearranging the place where your attention already lives.Sat, 01 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://adiutama.xyz/blog/dont-prescribe-the-road-make-the-model-defend-it/https://adiutama.xyz/blog/dont-prescribe-the-road-make-the-model-defend-it/I used to think more detailed AI instructions meant more control. They mostly meant more surprise. What worked better was asking for the path, then grilling it until the decision felt like mine.Mon, 20 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://adiutama.xyz/blog/learning-loops-not-prompts/https://adiutama.xyz/blog/learning-loops-not-prompts/Boris Cherny says the job is to write loops, not prompts. Most of us still work like a search box. Here is what I am learning about finish lines, ledgers, and staying in the craft.Sun, 28 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://adiutama.xyz/blog/ai-coding-is-not-making-developers-lazy/https://adiutama.xyz/blog/ai-coding-is-not-making-developers-lazy/AI coding does not remove the hard part of software development. It exposes more of it, compressing investigation, testing, and decision-making into a much denser workflow.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://adiutama.xyz/blog/curiosity-is-not-a-soft-skill/https://adiutama.xyz/blog/curiosity-is-not-a-soft-skill/Curiosity is not a nice-to-have personality trait. It is the mechanism that separates app makers from developers and keeps great engineers growing in the AI era.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://adiutama.xyz/blog/thinking-in-code-new-discipline-ai-era/https://adiutama.xyz/blog/thinking-in-code-new-discipline-ai-era/In the AI era, code is cheap enough to become a thinking medium, but software quality still depends on deliberate human craftsmanship.Sun, 24 May 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://adiutama.xyz/blog/raising-floor-why-ai-actually-increasing-developer-value/https://adiutama.xyz/blog/raising-floor-why-ai-actually-increasing-developer-value/AI is raising the engineering baseline and increasing the value of developers who can architect, verify, and integrate systems at scale.Mon, 13 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://adiutama.xyz/blog/evolution-developer-from-coder-orchestrator/https://adiutama.xyz/blog/evolution-developer-from-coder-orchestrator/AI is shifting developer value from manual implementation toward orchestration, verification, and system-level decision-making.Mon, 16 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://adiutama.xyz/blog/misconception-fast-paced-tech-culture/https://adiutama.xyz/blog/misconception-fast-paced-tech-culture/Fast-paced culture is often misunderstood as constant speed, when durable software outcomes actually come from quality, planning, and technical trust.Mon, 15 Sep 2025 00:00:00 GMT
