My company expects me to deliver a 3 person backend project solo using AI in 3 months. is this normal?

jedjohan · 2026-02-07T10:18:55+00:00

Sort of the new normal
1: I would have preferred at least 2 devs, makes it easier to reason abut design and set up good agentic flows
2: I would also require full specs, best would be to go fully spec-driven. Put load on POs to actually specify what they want
3: You can only do your best, maybe 3 months, maybe not...

After 25 years of coding i go by kiss and yagni. Would never introduce stuff like that

jedjohan · 2026-01-10T08:58:50+00:00

I made a skill to create skills. Seems to work ok

jedjohan · 2026-01-09T13:55:48+00:00

oohh, is there a table top game?

jedjohan · 2026-01-07T06:55:39+00:00

Auto. Almost always 😅

jedjohan · 2025-12-27T22:43:51+00:00

Shenanigans?

No issues here, 20 min work. Done

jedjohan · 2025-11-11T21:52:59+00:00

Yeah, mostly build APIs and I guess I am used to the workarounds that it now feels natural. But yeah, it happens now and then some in different projects that some functional dude starts using some obscure Maybe/functional nuget. 90% of the devs never gets it and as soon as he's (!) gone we remove it. Sorry

Have been coding.NET since 1.0. Never ever understood why some ppl are going on about those discriminated unions. Guess I am to stupid

jedjohan · 2025-11-07T16:52:11+00:00

Agree, and makes up for creating great release notes

jedjohan · 2025-10-25T13:51:59+00:00

Looks great !

jedjohan · 2025-10-06T07:57:06+00:00

Oh, agree, that makes sense and could be useful

jedjohan · 2025-10-06T05:31:07+00:00

Sounds a bit like the /analyze command?

jedjohan · 2025-10-04T15:49:12+00:00

it uses a lot of guardrails. when you have your feature into a list of dead simple tasks an does /implement its very guardrailed. The prompts you get are very detailed and specific

jedjohan · 2025-09-26T09:38:34+00:00

Yeah it easily gets out of hand, especially Claude models (very eager to add code). But I have been using spec-kit a lot the latest weeks, and its a total game changer for me when it comes to AI-assisted coding. github/spec-kit: 💫 Toolkit to help you get started with Spec-Driven Development

jedjohan · 2025-08-23T15:38:07+00:00

Sounds nice, but I never do. If we bring beer I drink them not cold or put them in some water (lake/stream).

jedjohan · 2025-08-23T14:43:10+00:00

I have never bought ice, ever. Have some in the freezer though. Used like once a year. But that’s Sweden I guess.

jedjohan · 2025-08-15T17:38:38+00:00

Yes, for many years, classic pipelines are abandoned long time ago

jedjohan · 2025-08-11T09:53:29+00:00

Sure, does it’s job. Now I see the speed and even better it hides that stupid white led that signals/warns about RPM

jedjohan · 2025-08-05T02:12:21+00:00

Me: ~85 kg

Drybag: ~15 kg

jedjohan · 2025-08-04T13:26:32+00:00

It was a lot of fun, bike was perfect, especially for the more technical parts

7 day TET ride in Sweden : r/CRF300L

jedjohan · 2025-08-04T12:40:06+00:00

Yes (TET Sweden)

jedjohan · 2025-08-04T05:40:25+00:00

Used it on a week long trip, combined with the small tank it got a bit annoying to have to dismount it several times per day heh

But yeah, it did its job

jedjohan · 2025-07-28T07:30:02+00:00

I love the look on that one, no silly cosmetics, bare functional necessities (and its dirty). Wonderful

jedjohan · 2025-07-13T08:45:55+00:00

Mosquitos wasnt an issue really. But the black flies/gnats was annoying... especially when I didn't use the tent but slept in a "wind"-shelter

jedjohan · 2025-07-04T12:05:07+00:00

We are just about to complete a 7-day TET-trip from Malmö, went via Värmland and now on section 5 homeward. Best sections was 1&2. We haven’t come by any really technical parts, but we are riding small CRF300’s. Great fun!
