Addy Osmani11 minIn the near future, high-leverage developers look like async-first managers running parallel AI coding agents. The skills that make someone a strong tech lead or manager translate directly to AI coding - because at scale, it stops being just a context problem and becomes a management problem.
Addy Osmani9 minAI did not kill code review. It made the burden of proof explicit. Ship changes with evidence like manual verification and automated tests, then use review for risk, intent, and accountability.
Addy Osmani16 minExploring five critical questions shaping software engineering through 2026, with contrasting scenarios for each. These lenses help prepare for the evolving landscape of coding in an AI-driven world.
Addy Osmani24 minAI coding assistants became game-changers this year, but harnessing them effectively takes skill and structure. Here's my workflow for planning, coding, and collaborating with AI going into 2026.
Addy Osmani11 minLessons learned from 14 years of engineering at Google, focusing on what truly matters beyond just writing great code.
Addy Osmani27 minAI coding assistants have quickly moved from novelty to necessity where up to 90% of software engineers use some kind of AI for coding. But a new paradigm is emerging in software development
Addy Osmani30 minThis guide covers ~30 pro-tips for effectively using Gemini CLI for agentic coding for Gemini 2.5, 3.0 and beyond
Addy Osmani5 minEvery time we've made it easier to write software, we've ended up writing exponentially more of it. History suggests we won't do less work - we'll discover we've been massively under-investing in knowledge work because it was too expensive to do all the things that were actually worth doing.
Addy Osmani10 minToday we are expanding the Gemini 3 model family with the release of Gemini 3 Flash which offers frontier intelligence built for speed at a fraction of the cost.
