- The Architect in the Loop: Critical Planning and the Limits of VibingWhy AI Plans Need Elixir Judgment Before ImplementationAI can produce a convincing architecture plan, but production systems need structured review. Bruce Tate shows how an Elixir architect catches security and design mistakes before implementation begins.AI Elixir Development Tools Best Practices Architecture
- How Juniors Become SeniorsWhat We Used to Be ProtectingBruce Tate argues that code is no longer the core asset – judgment is. The organizations that win will protect senior craft, measure mentorship, and reinvest AI's dividend in training juniors into future seniors.AI Engineering Culture Mentorship Code Review Software Craft Engineering Leadership
- The Trainable ThingsWhat Juniors Need to Learn NowBruce Tate argues the AI coding crisis is not a junior talent problem but a training failure, and outlines the concrete skills teams need to teach explicitly now.AI Engineering Culture Mentorship Code Review Software Craft Juniors
- How Better Tools Can Make Things WorseWhen Tools Outrun CraftBruce Tate traces how AI coding tools moved from helpful completion to unchecked delegation, leaving teams with faster output, weaker design, and less room for judgment to grow.AI Engineering Culture Mentorship Code Review Software Craft Engineering Leadership
- The Sludge on the WallWhat Our Developers and a Spilled Cold Brew Are Trying to Tell UsAI coding tools are increasing output while hiding codebase drift, review overload, and lost mentorship. Bruce Tate argues teams should reinvest the time AI gives them in training and craft.AI Engineering Culture Mentorship Code Review Software Craft Engineering Leadership
- Prompts That Write Prompts: Meta Workflow GenerationTurn Repeatable AI Development Workflows into Versioned Project InfrastructureLearn how meta workflow generation turns prompts into reusable project commands, making AI development workflows durable, repeatable, and reviewable.AI Elixir Development Tools Best Practices Workflows
- Your AI Tooling Has a Home: Project vs. Global InfrastructureWhy Team-Ready AI Workflows Belong with the Code They GovernLearn when AI tooling should live globally versus in the project so shared workflows stay versioned, visible, and aligned with the codebase.AI Elixir Development Tools Best Practices Workflows
- Building Your AI Toolchain: Rules, Skills, Sub-Agents, and Slash CommandsHow to Layer AI Execution with Reusable Workflows Instead of Repeating PromptsLearn when to use rules, skills, sub-agents, and slash commands so your AI workflow scales with structured oversight instead of context-heavy repetition.AI Elixir Development Tools Best Practices Workflows
- Stop Repeating Yourself: How to Architect AI Workflows Like CodeApply DRY Thinking to AI Instructions with Axioms, Roles, and TasksIf you keep retyping the same AI instructions, you do not have a workflow. Learn a practical three-layer structure to keep coding agents consistent.AI Elixir Development Tools Best Practices Workflows
- The Morning After: What That 30-Minute Phoenix App Actually CostsWhy Working Code and Maintainable Architecture Are Not the Same ThingA fast Phoenix LiveView build can look impressive, but hidden structural debt appears when you inspect what AI generated under speed pressure.AI Elixir Development Tools Best Practices
- The Illusion of Speed: When AI Builds a Phoenix App in 30 MinutesWhy Vibe Coding Feels Fast and Becomes a Maintenance TrapA 30‑minute Phoenix LiveView demo looks magical – until you see how the yes loop creates hidden scope and long‑term maintenance cost.AI Elixir Development Tools Best Practices
- The Editor Is the AgentWhy Checkpoint-Based AI Workflows Create ControlLearn the Ask → Plan → Agent workflow, a two-level safety net, and context discipline for checkpoint-based AI coding in Elixir.AI Elixir Development Tools Best Practices Workflows
- Stop Prompting. Start Anchoring.Why Decisions Should Live in Code, Not ConversationsThe model didn't forget your architecture—it just never lived anywhere durable. Learn how to anchor decisions in structure instead of prompts.AI Elixir Development Tools Best Practices
- Which AI Agent Should You Actually Use?A Simple Framework for Choosing the Right Tool for the JobStop comparing features and benchmarks. Learn to match AI agents to your workflow with a practical decide-vs-execute rule you can use today.AI Elixir Development Tools Best Practices
- Why AI "Forgets" (and How to Work With It Instead of Fighting It)A Mental Model for Predictable AI Collaboration in ElixirWhy AI agents lose context, how the conveyor belt model explains it, and a practical habit Elixir developers can use immediately to get better results.AI Elixir Development Tools Best Practices
- How I Work With AI Coding Agents in Elixir (And Why "Vibing" Is a Trap)A Practical Framework for AI-Augmented Elixir DevelopmentExplore the five modes of collaborating with AI coding agents in Elixir — and why 'vibing' creates fragile systems.AI Elixir Development Tools Best Practices
