March was a month of wrapping up ongoing work and exploring new horizons. After a couple of months getting my feet wet with different AI productivity ideas, I was able to finish studying a book I picked up specifically about this topic, as well as presenting a hands-on session at an internal developer conference in my company. Here is a quick summary.
Achievements
InnerSource synergy with agentic AI presentation
This month I had the opportunity to present at an SAP's internal developer conference. It was my second time presenting at this event in a row. I talked about how the InnerSource philosophy and techniques can have a positive synergy with agentic AI software engineering. I think there is a lot of unexplored territory in terms of how we can engineer collaboration in a way that optimizes the value provided by AI and human agents. It was a great experience to share my thoughts and to connect with other developers within the company.
Finished studying Beyond Vibe Coding
I finished studying Beyond Vibe Coding, a book by Addy Osmani about the evolution of software development with generative AI. It goes way beyond the superficial "AI writes code for you" narrative and dives into practical strategies for integrating LLMs into the development workflow in a sustainable and effective way. It covers topics such as prompt engineering patterns, context management, and how to structure projects to leverage AI without losing control of the codebase. While I think it suffers a bit from the pragmatics of this format for the current context (AI tools evolve way too fast for a book cycle - books shine in consolidating the best practices about things that have been around for a while, but for AI it seems that articles are able to cope with the pace of change better), I found it to be a very practical read and will definitely apply some of its insights going forward.
