Writeups
Three curated writeups reflecting my opinions in software engineering.
Leadership
Power of empathy in leading teams.
Empathy is an important and crucial skill for leaders in software development, as it builds a culture of trust, respect and collaboration, enabling teams to achieve great things.
Engineering
AI impact on development practices.
We explore the future of source code in AI-based software development. While generated source code has value, it may be bypassed by trained AI that understands a domain and its constraints.
.NET
Vectorizing LINQ operations.
We are going to use Vector to parallelise many LINQ operations and measure the performance improvements using Benchmark.NET. Using SIMD instructions is cool, but is it worth the effort?
