“Adrian was one of the best managers I've worked with. His communication was excellent across the board - he was just as clear and thoughtful with senior leadership as he was with his direct reports. He always made me feel comfortable coming to him, whether it was to share a win or raise a concern. He had a strong sense of accountability and was incredibly reliable and organised - expectations were always clear, so you never had to guess what was needed. I'd happily work with Adrian again.”

"I don't even code anymore" I'm having more and more conversations with senior engineers (Staff+) around how much they actually code. The more I hear this, the more I feel that it's approaching zero. Comments like: "I prompt and edit" Or "I code in English" If engineers aren't doing the manual parts of coding are they losing their ability to solve problems or are they enhanced by it? Engineers would say enhanced. Founders would agree. Is your fincance team on the same page though? We know productivity is now through the roof - but I haven't exactly seen an uplift of salaries to reflect this. In fact it's probably gone a little bit backwards given a correction post covid and the rise of Cosi livs in Sydney. Does the enablement of AI tools like claude dimish the value of actual engineers or enhance it? If it does enhance it - when will we see this reflected in actual salary growth and turning point of the market moving from how client lead it is right now? One of the best interview questions that I've picked up (and stolen) from Paul Napier while working with him over the years was: "What is the purpose of a Software Engineer?" The correct answer is to solve problems. Coding is craft. AI is a tool. The application of code to solve business problems is a huge part value of a SWE. But - so is the ability to say we don't need to write code to solve this problem. Engineers who understand business problems, understand how code should be structured and what AI is actually doing with the code it is spitting out is where their true value is. 🤖 By the way my business ScaleUp Recruitment connects founders and CTO's with engineers that have developed strong core foundational knowledge and are pushing the boundaries of what you can do with AI.

There's a quiet consensus emerging amongst the best developers I know that high-quality "vibe coded" outputs are finally here. For most decently sized changes: Opus-4.5 plan mode / GPT 5.2 -> full end to end implementation For quick local changes: Gemini flash But getting the last mile of tweaks and knowing if your code is good or not still requires a human that understands what's been written.

Stop forcing your business into someone else's software. We work with Australian business leaders running 100-400 person companies who are tired of generic SaaS that doesn't fit their unique operations. You've probably tried it – expensive subscriptions that promise everything but deliver nothing specific to YOUR workflows. Here's the truth: off-the-shelf software is built for everyone, which means it's optimized for no one. What if you could have AI systems custom-built for YOUR exact business processes? Systems that: ✓ Actually work with your specific workflows (not against them) ✓ Keep your data under YOUR control – no vendor lock-in ✓ Cost a fraction of those bloated SaaS subscriptions ✓ Give you a genuine competitive edge over competitors stuck with generic tools Bespoke AI solutions aren't a luxury anymore – they're the difference between companies that scale efficiently and those that get bogged down in processes that don't fit. We've built the Performance-First Framework specifically for Australian businesses like yours. Custom-built systems that eliminate wasted human capital, streamline operations, and actually deliver ROI. Ready to build something that actually works for your business? Let's talk. #AustralianBusiness #AITransformation #DigitalTransformation #BusinessTech #SME #CustomSoftware #PerformanceManagement #AustralianTech

Come catch my session on Context Engineering at DDD Melbourne this Saturday. We've all been there: GitHub Copilot promises to be your coding companion, but instead feels more like that overeager intern who confidently writes brilliant code for the wrong problem. As AI-assisted development tools become ubiquitous, the industry narrative promises revolutionary productivity gains. Yet many practitioners find themselves playing an exhausting game of context whack-a-mole—constantly explaining, re-explaining, and fixing what their AI "partner" confidently got wrong. Having spent considerable time wrestling with this gap between AI promises and reality, I've discovered that the real challenge isn't prompt engineering—it's context engineering. This talk explores why "vibe coding" is fundamentally broken and introduces the systematic discipline that separates magical AI experiences from expensive disappointments. Through the constraint-context matrix and real examples like the Breadcrumb Protocol, I'll demonstrate why human expertise in scaffolding, steering, and domain understanding isn't just relevant—it's the secret ingredient that makes AI actually work. You'll leave with practical strategies for engineering context systematically and a framework for building sustainable human-AI collaboration that leverages both your skills and the machine's capabilities.
