  • Iterative Incremental #3 - Vibe Coding: My First Reaction and the Reasoning Behind It

    Iterative Incremental #3 - Vibe Coding: My First Reaction and the Reasoning Behind It
    Sep 24 2026
    When vibe coding went mainstream, my first reaction wasn't panic. It was curiosity. Then came a sharper question. The speed never bothered me. What bothered me was that not understanding the generated code had become part of the workflow, something you were supposed to accept.
    In this episode I talk through how I reasoned about it, based on years of XP and DevOps. TDD, refactoring and continuous delivery aren't rituals to skip: they're the brakes that make speed safe. Vibe coding takes out the understanding loop that comes before the tests. Public incidents showed what happens when understanding is treated as optional at the moments it matters most. This isn't an ideological stance against AI. I'm against using AI without discipline, and I wanted AI to help me carry the cost of discipline instead of skipping it.

    Iterative Incremental #2 - What kind of engineer I want to be with AI?
    Sep 3 2026
    🇮🇹 Che tipo di ingegnere voglio essere?
    Un anno fa ChatGPT era solo un taccuino per me — un posto dove ragionare ad alta voce, fare brainstorming, tenere un diario. Poi gli strumenti sono migliorati, l'hype è cresciuto, e ho sentito la spinta verso scorciatoie che non erano professionali. La domanda sbagliata era "dovrei usarlo o no?" Quella giusta ha cambiato tutto: che tipo di ingegnere voglio essere con questi strumenti? Questo episodio parla di quel cambio di prospettiva — e del perché la risposta non è un nuovo set di valori, ma amplificare le pratiche che già funzionano. Il "come" arriva nel prossimo episodio.

    🇬🇧 What Kind of Engineer Do I Want to Be?
    A year ago, ChatGPT was just a notebook for me — a place to think out loud, brainstorm, journal. Then the tools got better, the hype got louder, and I felt the pull toward shortcuts that weren't professional. The wrong question was "should I use this?" The right one changed everything: what kind of engineer do I want to be with these tools? This episode is about that shift — and why the answer isn't a new set of values, but amplifying the practices that already work. The "how" comes next.

  • Iterative Incremental #1 - Restarting on purpose

    Iterative Incremental #1 - Restarting on purpose
    Aug 27 2026
    Episode

    Iterative Incremental opens with a restart, not a comeback. After closing the Practical Handbook for Product Developers, I'm changing the object of study — not the practices. Same XP, Agile, Lean and DevOps foundations you know; new lens, focused on coding agents and what holds up under evidence rather than hype. No fixed runtime anymore: this episode takes exactly the space the thinking needs, which is the whole point of the new format.
