Why the most effective engineering organizations are developing systematic approaches that go beyond vibe coding — and why this practice needs a name This blog post is for CTOs, engineering leaders, technical executives. I've also written it be accessible to non-technical readers. I've had the same
A hands-on guide to practicing synthesis coding (a.k.a. synthesis engineering) with concrete examples, real workflows, and lessons from production systems I wrote this blog post for software engineers, architects, and technical leads. This one is code-heavy and implementation-focused. In the first t
From individual practice to organizational capability: a systematic approach to human-AI collaboration in professional software development This blog post is for engineering leaders, CTOs, and product managers. In my previous article, I introduced synthesis coding (a.k.a. synthesis engineering) — th
In 2008, I released a WordPress plugin called Blogroll Links. The plugin displayed lists of links on WordPress pages using a shortcode. But the idea behind it was more ambitious than the implementation might suggest. I built Blogroll Links because I believed people should control their own online pr
I wrote this blog post for software engineers, architects, and technical leads. It is code-heavy and implementation-focused. This weekend I was working across three repositories simultaneously in Visual Studio Code. I worked on RagBot — a multi-LLM chatbot that lets you switch between OpenAI, Anthro
Why the conversation isn't about which approach is better — it's about knowing when to use each This blog post is for software engineers, engineering leaders, and anyone interested in AI-assisted development. Since publishing my series on synthesis coding, I've received a recurring question: "How do
The answer is not "just let the model do it" — and code matters more, not less, as AI gets dramatically better Last spring, my son Fitz and I had an afternoon math duel. He was twelve at the time. Sharp. Competitive. He took on the puzzle the traditional way — paper, pencil, and focused [...]
What separates synthesis coding from vibe coding isn't the tools — it's the decisions. This technical case study walks through the architectural choices, implementation patterns, and verification strategies behind a real open-source project.
A practical guide for CTOs and engineering leaders: cost analysis, team rollout strategy, training curriculum, and metrics for adopting synthesis coding at scale.
