Hey there! Welcome to a new edition of Hybrid Hacker! 🌟
Every week I share the top articles I have found and personally read on the internet. I only share the stuff I believe it’s worth your time.
100% signal, 0% slop.
I mainly read things from my public daily digest, which curates an ever growing list of sources. Here is this week’s best stuff 👇
🌀 How to Make AI Better at Product 🎨
13 min • by Luca Rossi
This week I wrote about why AI product work is lagging behind AI coding, and what we can steal from engineering to fix it: product decision records, shared glossaries, and loops that are designed to run reliably instead of one-off prompts.
🥇 AI Demands More Engineering Discipline. Not Less
12 min • by Charity Majors
When Charity writes, we listen. The real product of a software team is shared understanding, and AI-generated code makes that easier to destroy at scale. For this reason, discipline now matters more, not less.
🥈 Revised Rules of Engineering Leadership
8 min • by Will Larson
Will’s piece is one of the better attempts at updating classic engineering leadership rules and ideas for the agent era. A lot of great takes about migrations, domain expertise, harnesses, and more. Including practical examples!
🥉 Humans and Agents in Software Engineering Loops
7 min • by Kief Morris
This connects nicely with the loop-engineering conversation: humans should not micromanage every generated line of code, but design and improve the loop that lets agents build, test, and learn. Great article hosted on Martin Fowler’s blog.
And that’s it for today! If you find this list useful, please share it with your friends!
You can also read the very same things I read every day via this free daily digest 📬
See you next week!
