Software becomes legacy by succeeding long enough to accumulate the weight of every decision and shortcut made along the way. AI is changing legacy modernization, but not everything is getting better. Read the full article from @toddkaufman link.testdouble.com/caa595

AI doesn't have an accuracy problem. It has a target problem. Given/When/Then ACs are the clearest target you can hand a coding agent. Andy Vida adapted Three Amigos for solo devs working with AI: two design docs, one structured conversation, then code: link.testdouble.com/a04ba1

You committed the two-line fix. The 40 minutes of investigation that produced it went nowhere. The next person (or agent) pays the same cost again. A TDD-shaped loop from Rick Reilly for capturing context across agent sessions: link.testdouble.com/11acb4

Every abstraction we've built since assembly was a subsidy paid to human cognition, funded by hardware. Take humans out of the inner loop and the rationale weakens. @docondev shares a prediction about what languages and frameworks look like next: link.testdouble.com/ae23c6

Cyclomatic complexity, method length, naming conventions: every one of those metrics was a workaround for human cognitive limits. Agents don't have those limits. So what survives, and what gets renegotiated? @docondev shares reflections on craft: link.testdouble.com/fdff50

PC shift: ~10 years. Web shift: ~5 years. Agentic coding: 2-3, possibly less. The first two expanded the profession. This one compresses it. @docondev shares thoughts on the pattern, and where the time actually goes: link.testdouble.com/aafa83

AI changed the cost structure of software. Outputs may be cheap, but outcomes are still valuable. @dmosher says leverage has moved to the harness: lint rules, types, tests, ADRs, feedback loops. link.testdouble.com/ecfcc5

Code coverage tells you a line ran. Mutation testing tells you whether your tests would notice if it stopped working. With agent-generated code, that distinction matters more than ever. @neall shows how Stryker keeps coding agents honest: link.testdouble.com/d689d0
