Hey team, It's been some time since I last published on the platform. There have been changes, and I'm so excited to share that I began a new venture in the AI-native development space! If you are wondering what this means, read-on. With the rise of AI, we now have access to AI-native tools that drastically improve our workflow as developers (think of Cursor or Bolt). OK, I haven't told you much there lol. AI is changing how software is built, not just how it’s enhanced. There's a set of evolving guidelines that capture the key shifts in AI-powered software development, including: Specification-Driven Development – AI-generated code starts with clear, structured specifications. Context-Aware Development – AI understands and integrates full project context for better decision-making. AI Agents as Developers – AI isn’t just assisting; it’s actively creating and operating software systems. Human Oversight by Design – AI-driven workflows must have clear human oversight and alignment with intent.

Human Oversight by Design A New Home for AI-Native Development On this note, I'd like to announce the launch of AI Native Dev at ainativedev.io—a new site dedicated to AI Native Development and the latest AI-powered dev tools. ainativedev.io The incredible team at Tessl and I, are building the new go-to place for developers navigating the evolving AI-driven software landscape. Tessl This initial version of AI Native Dev is just the beginning. We’re actively building a custom, interactive, and collaborative platform where developers can share insights, tools, and best practices. Our vision is to create a space that grows with the community and supports open discussions on the future of AI-powered development. What You’ll Find on AI Native Dev On this new site, you'll find a community of developers embracing AI-first software development. You will also find various AI Native content spaces including The AI Native Dev podcast, and The AI Native DevCon event (which it has donated to this new site, ensuring they remain dedicated spaces for learning and collaboration). AI Native Dev will continue to expand with news articles, deep dives on AI development tools, and perspectives on AI Native Development. Our goal is to help developers stay ahead in a world where AI is reshaping software engineering. We invite you to join us on Discord to connect with like-minded engineers, share insights, and stay updated on the latest in AI-powered dev tools. Discord Announcing AI Native DevCon Spring 2025 – May 13th! We’re also excited to announce that AI Native DevCon is back! Our next virtual event will take place on May 13th, 2025, featuring: A new AI tool in action track – Get hands-on with the latest AI-powered dev tools. Real-world success stories – Learn from teams actively using AI in their workflows. Bold insights from industry leaders – Discover what’s next for AI-powered engineering.
