[LLMs] How does agentic AI affect the next generation of coders? More on what Matt Squire had to say about AI at Manchester Tech Festival

On Monday I published the second of my posts about his talk, and along the way referred to contributions from Dagmar Monett, @jeppestricker.bsky.social, @kentbeck.com, @jessitron.bsky.social and @emilybache.bsky.social.

How does agentic AI affect the next generation of coders? Are new software engineers going to learn less because they’re too reliant on LLMs? @matt-squire.bsky.social from Fuzzy Labs had a lot of really interesting stuff to say about this at Manchester Tech Festival.

The Learning Loop and LLMs How continuous learning shapes effective software development with LLMs

Unmesh Joshi finds LLMs to be a useful tool, but explains why their help becomes illusory if they shortcut the essential learning loop of our professional practice.

Huh. I've been planning for the last two weeks to share a discount code for Lead Dev Berlin, but life had other ideas and I've only just got round to it. >>>

I'm speaking at NewCrafts in Paris, which is next week from Wed to Fri (5th to 7th Nov '25), and if you use this link you get a €150 discount!

Well. I have been planning for the last two weeks to share discounts for @newcrafts.bsky.social Paris, but life had other ideas and I've only just got round to it. >>>

A picture of a school. Left of shot is a lamp post. It has two numbers, one above the other, separated by a line. The number on top is 150. The number below is 5.

The answer is 30.

Do I get a prize?

How Can You Combine AI With Test Driven Development? - Software Architecture Gathering 2025 Even Kent Beck is vibe coding these days. But how can you create robust maintainable systems, if you didn’t write the code yourself? Software engineers are, rightly, always looking for quicker more…

"Clare has the rare gift of being an experienced software engineer and having the ability to translate complex learnings into something that all participants can understand, regardless of their knowledge base." - Laura Poblete, Former Head of L&D at Made Tech

and let’s explore this together with some hands-on exercises and the opportunity to explore and dig a bit deeper.

And that’s why I’m so excited to be teaching a workshop in how to use Test Driven Development (TDD) to get the best out of LLLM-augmented coding.

Join me for a full-day workshop at @sagconference.bsky.social on Monday 24th November in Berlin,

Many times - like when I was leading tech teams or when I was leading the @madetech.bsky.social - it was officially part of my job description, but even when it wasn’t I found ways of teaching, and then used the teaching as a reason to do more learning. Because I love both of them.

Do you enjoy learning? What about teaching?

I’ve been a software engineer for well over 25 years now (I’ve stopped counting), and something that’s been true throughout my career is that I’ve found myself teaching and mentoring.

Have you had enough of all the endless chit-chat about AI? Yeah. I hear you.

So I ain’t sayin’ nuffink ...Other than, I’m running a two-day workshop in Amsterdam on November 17th and 18th, on getting the most out of LLM-augmented coding tools and having FUN with it.

It’ll give you an opportunity to practice doing stuff like this, using techniques like those advocated by Llewellyn Falco and others. And you’ll get two days in Amsterdam! What’s not to like? .Link to workshop: trifork.nl/academy/our-...

Do you waste time every day/week faffing about with annoying little tasks?

I’ve been playing more and more with LLMs, and one of the things they can be great for is building quick little admin tools to make my life easier.

Science!

It's not 6pm! It's only 5pm! I just won a WHOLE EXTRA HOUR. What shall I do with it?

Got a surprise visit from my granddaughter Nina. We went outside in the Manchester drizzle and had a fabulous time doing classic toddler activities:

- Splashing in muddy puddles

- Throwing sticks down drains

- Swooshing our feet through piles of leaves

- Walking on tops of walls
