Planning for team growth is important too! Ensure your interview process is clear and support your existing team in their own development. Coordinate with budget holders to ensure you have the ability to reward and promote people. ๐Ÿ™Œ โœ…

Here are a couple of things I learnt from the evening:

Scaling requires process and planning ahead of time to meet forthcoming business challenges. A lack of ether means running into pain points across development, delivery and teams, which could be avoided. ๐Ÿ“ˆโ›”๏ธ

This week I attended my first Mobile Engineering Leaders at Scale session over in the @redisinc.bsky.social Offices.

It was a fun evening where I got to speak with other mobile leads, each sharing experiences around problems their mobile teams face.

It might not be the right approach for a team environment. If I do need a standalone prototype to prove viability of an idea though then I can see the value of Agents assisting to speed up development and create (readable!) documentation alongside.

Shipping at Inference-Speed | Peter Steinberger Why I stopped reading code and started watching it stream by.

Last week's interesting thread for me was this blog post from the creator of ClawdBot / Moltbot / OpenClaw. It's helpful to see developers pull back the curtain on what they are doing to push Agents and help them build software.

Its an interesting read and helps to illustrate one of the core steps working with LLMs and existing codebases. Providing the context and reasons as to why the existing code was written in the first place.

Ask HN: COBOL devs, how are AI coding affecting your work? | Hacker News I feel that the mass of code that actually runs the economy is remarkably untouched by AI coding agents.

Here's a thread from Hacker News that caught my eye. A user asks COBOL mainframe maintainers whether AI is impacting their jobs. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4667...

If you use Apple's Foundational Models inside the Shortcuts App you may find the responses generic. That's because language models on device hit hardware limits.

To solve, you can switch to using Private Cloud Compute in a couple of taps. Resulting in more accurate responses!

Building your own Generative AI workflows on your iPhone is simple as a few taps using the Shortcuts App.

Super useful if you're looking to prototype what is possible using Apple's foundational models without writing a line of code.
