“Loop Engineering” Is Mostly Just Broken SDLC Wearing a Costume

Adron critiques the concept of “Loop Engineering,” arguing it merely retrofits outdated software development practices onto language models. This approach adds unnecessary complexity and coordination, hindering LLMs’ potential. Instead, the author advocates for creating efficient workflows that leverage LLM capabilities by improving input quality, structuring tasks by data flow, and integrating event-driven feedback mechanisms.

Additive vs. Mutative vs. Destructive Code Changes (and Why AI Agents Love the Wrong One at 2:13AM)

The piece explores the unique challenges software developers face, particularly with the rise of AI tooling in coding practices. It highlights a specific “pain” associated with AI-generated code changes, which can introduce risks due to their propensity for errors and misunderstandings of existing systems. The author categorizes types of code changes—additive, mutative, destructive, transformative, cosmetic,... Continue reading →

12 Days into 2026 – Status & update of my projects.

As mentioned in my end of 2025 post, there were several projects I intended to start, continue, or finish up in 2026. This is a quick status and an additional few things I’ve started working on. https://interlinedlist.com – This is live. Albeit not very built out, but the start is live. You can even sign...

Architects Evolving: How AI Is Reshaping the Role

The role of software architects is evolving significantly due to AI integration. Instead of merely managing complexity, architects must now shape how AI understands design. This shift transforms their responsibilities from gatekeeping to curating adaptive systems, emphasizing collaboration between humans and AI. Future architects will focus on embedding architectural intelligence and ensuring continuous learning and... Continue reading →

Architects Among Us: The Many Shapes of Software Architecture

The role of a software architect transcends mere technical design, focusing on bridging people, systems, and business needs. Architects must balance competing forces like performance, cost, and developer experience. Their work involves crafting structures, ensuring integrity, and communicating effectively across teams, fostering collaboration to deliver sustainable solutions amidst evolving challenges.
