Helping technology leaders succeed through books (The Phoenix Project, Team Topologies), events (@ITRevSummit), research, podcasts (#TheIdealcast), and more.
We’re excited to unveil the cover (and final title) for the groundbreaking new book from industry titans @RealGeneKim and @Steve_Yegge, releasing this fall! Vibe Coding: Building Production-Grade Software With GenAI, Chat, Agents, and Beyond isn’t just another tech book—it’s the…

Hard truth: Anyone developing software head-to-head against well-managed AI agent teams without their own AI teams will lose. No matter how good you are at football, you can't beat an NFL team alone. The competitive mismatch is driving everyone to adopt AI teams. Read more:…

Students entering tech right now are launching their careers during a pivotal moment that's both daunting and incredibly opportune. While the job market remains volatile, one truth is undeniable: every development role now integrates AI capabilities. Gene Kim and Steve Yegge's…

From now on, anyone who goes head-to-head against a well-managed team of AI agents without a team of their own will nearly always lose. This competitive mismatch is driving everyone to adopt AI teams. Ready or not, developers are now officially promoted to "head chef." Read…

The head chef doesn't personally dice every vegetable or sear every steak. But they're responsible for every plate that leaves the kitchen. Vibe coding works the same way—delegate the implementation, own the outcome. Read more: itrev.io/44Dc55Y

When that meal leaves the kitchen, it's your reputation on the line and your Michelin Stars at stake. When the customer sends back the fish, you can't blame your sous chef. Same principle applies to AI-assisted coding—you own the final result, period. Read more:…

Setting up workspaces and instructions for each new AI assistant brought into the system. Creating onboarding procedures for non-human collaborators. This is the new normal, and it has a real learning curve. Read more: itrev.io/44Dc55Y

Managing parallel AI development means running multiple agents on different tasks simultaneously. That's the opposite of the traditional "single-threaded" developer approach. The new job: coordination, not just coding. Read more: itrev.io/44Dc55Y

The strangest part of vibe coding: developers spend more time thinking about what they want to build and less on implementation details. Sounds nice, right? But they also develop a critical eye for evaluating AI solutions instead of crafting every line themselves. Read more:…

The industry has perpetuated a false dichotomy between "real developers" and everyone else for far too long. Product managers are labeled as "non-technical." Infrastructure specialists are seen as separate from "traditional developers." These arbitrary barriers kept brilliant…

Many developers think AI just speeds up their solo work. That was true in 2024. But with coding agents, the role has flipped—now developers are accelerating them. Welcome to being a team leader, whether you asked for it or not. Read more: itrev.io/44Dc55Y

Organizations that consistently outperform their peers share one characteristic: they've engineered management systems that create optimal conditions for collective problem-solving. This insight from Steve Spear's Prodacity 2025 presentation cuts to the heart of what makes…

Over the weekend, the third episode of Vibe Coding with Steve and Gene went up: As Developers, We Move From Line Cook to Head Chef — Very FAAFO! @Steve_Yegge and I talk about how every developer using coding agents will find themselves doing something surprising, and yet it's…

Most developers have been using version control like a glorified save button for years. "Fix something dumb" commits, pushing straight to trunk. AI agents changed everything. Now they're doing release engineer-level Git operations daily. The tool didn't change—the role did.…

Plot twist: Since using AI coding agents, many developers are doing more complex Git operations than ever. Cherry-picking commits, managing multiple branches, complex rebases... Turns out when you work with AI, you're not an individual anymore—you're a team. And teams need…

Delegation of implementation ≠ delegation of responsibility. Your users don't care which parts were written by AI. They expect you to stand behind every line of code. The promotion from "line cook" to "head chef" isn't optional—it's inherent to how all software will be…
