He explores how to maintain the essence of computational thinking in an era where AI can instantly solve coding problems, emphasizing concrete, motivated contexts over abstract algorithms. The discussion spans from elementary programming to his unique role as a computing fellow at Epic Games, where he works with CEO Tim Sweeney to design the Verse programming language, proving that even big companies can prioritize denotational semantics over quarterly profits.

    Breaking the Architecture Bottleneck • Andrew Harmel-Law & Marit van Dijk

    This interview was recorded for GOTO Unscripted. https://gotopia.tech Andrew Harmel-Law - Technical Principal at Thoughtworks & Author of "Facilitating Software Architecture" Marit van Dijk - Developer Advocate at JetBrains, Java Champion & Open Source Contributor RESOURCES Andrew https://bsky.app/profile/andrewhl.bsky.social https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewharmellaw https://andrewharmellaw.github.io Marit https://bsky.app/profile/maritvandijk.bsky.social https://linkedin.com/in/maritvandijk https://medium.com/@mlvandijk https://maritvandijk.com Links https://facilitatingsoftwarearchitecture.com https://ruthmalan.com https://www.linkedin.com/pulse DESCRIPTION Andrew Harmel-Law discusses their book "Facilitating Software Architecture" and how traditional architecture approaches often become bottlenecks that slow down high-performing development teams. Rather than architects making top-down decisions in isolation, they advocate for a facilitation approach centered on the "advice process". This collaborative method shifts the architect's role from decision-maker to conversation facilitator. The approach has proven successful even in traditional corporate environments, ultimately creating more maintainable code bases where development teams actually enjoy working and can respond effectively to changing requirements.

    Beyond the Hype: Real Talk on AI-Assisted Development • Jessica Kerr & Diana Montalion

    This interview was recorded for GOTO Unscripted. https://gotopia.tech Jessica Kerr - Engineering Manager of Developer Relation at Honeycomb.io & Symmathecist Diana Montalion - Systems Architect, Mentrix Founder & Author of "Learning Systems Thinking" RESOURCES Jessica https://bsky.app/profile/jessitron.bsky.social https://linkedin.com/in/jessicakerr https://www.twitch.tv/jessitronica https://jessitron.com Diana https://bsky.app/profile/dianamontalion.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/dianamontalion https://montalion.com https://learningsystemsthinking.com DESCRIPTION Systems architect Diana Montalion and engineering manager Jessica Kerr cut through the AI coding hype to explore what these tools actually do well - and where they have room for improvement. Moving beyond the "AI will replace developers" narrative, they reveal how AI assistants excel at the tedious work of typing, scaffolding, and error handling while remaining surprisingly bad at the nuanced thinking that experienced developers bring to complex systems. Their discussion illuminates a more mature relationship with AI tools: one where developers maintain agency over design decisions while leveraging AI's strengths in automation, synthesis, and rapid prototyping. The result is a pragmatic roadmap for using AI to amplify human expertise rather than replace it.

Victor emphasizes that knowing how to use your development tools, particularly IDE refactoring features, is a better indicator of developer experience than algorithm tests. Rather than just teaching "hello world" examples, the authors focus on the essential ecosystem components needed to succeed in enterprise Java environments, making it accessible for anyone who knows the Java language but needs to understand the broader technological landscape they'll encounter in professional development roles.

    The Debugging Book • Andreas Zeller & Clare Sudbery

    This interview was recorded for the GOTO Book Club. Read the full transcription of the interview here: https://gotopia.tech/episodes/387 Prof. Andreas Zeller - Faculty at CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security & Author of "The Debugging Book" Clare Sudbery - Independent Technical Coach RESOURCES Andreas https://bsky.app/profile/andreaszeller.bsky.social https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreaszeller https://andreas-zeller.info Clare https://bsky.app/profile/claresudbery.bsky.social https://www.madetech.com/podcast https://insimpleterms.blog Links https://www.debuggingbook.org https://github.com/uds-se/debuggingbook https://www.st.cs.uni-saarland.de/dd DESCRIPTION Programming education has a critical blind spot: while we extensively teach code creation, we barely scratch the surface of testing and give almost no attention to debugging—despite debugging consuming half of all software development time. In this conversation with Clare Sudbery, Prof. Andreas Zeller argues that systematic debugging skills and modern automated debugging tools are the "ugly stepchild" of programming that nobody wants to discuss, yet debugging represents the biggest business risk and time sink in software development.

    Domain-Driven Refactoring • Alessandro Colla, Alberto Acerbis & Xin Yao

    This interview was recorded for the GOTO Book Club. http://gotopia.tech/bookclub Read the full transcription of the interview here: https://gotopia.tech/episodes/389 Alessandro Colla - Partner & Head of Development at Evoluzione & Co-Author of "Domain-Driven Refactoring" Alberto Acerbis - Software Architect at Intré & Co-Author of "Domain-Driven Refactoring" Xin Yao - Independent Consultant Contextualizing DDD & Sociotechnical Architecture RESOURCES Alessandro https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessandrocolla https://www.alessandrocolla.com Alberto https://www.linkedin.com/in/aacerbis https://albertoacerbis.com Xin https://bsky.app/profile/settling-mud.bsky.social https://www.linkedin.com/in/xinxin Links https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Domain-driven-Refactoring https://github.com/BrewUp DESCRIPTION Legacy code isn't just old - it's a treasure chest of lost business knowledge waiting to be rediscovered. Alessandro Colla and Alberto Acerbis share their battle-tested approach to domain-driven refactoring, explaining why you should start with understanding the business problem before touching a single line of code. Like Michelangelo seeing the statue of David hidden in marble, they show how the right solution already exists within your legacy codebase—you just need the right tools and techniques to set it free. From event storming workshops over beer to modular monoliths as stepping stones, these "double-A battery" developers prove that thoughtful, incremental refactoring beats flashy microservices migrations every time.
