| 5/13/26 |  The whooshing sound of deadlines | Welcome to this week's Wednesday Wisdom, in which we cover a reader question on how to deal with managers who insist on "accurate ETAs" for software development projects. Obviously, no software project in the history of time has ever been delivered according to a pre-established immutable plan and there is no more common sound in software than the sound of a deadline, whooshing by. But how to convince your manager of that? | — | ||||||

| 4/1/26 |  How to become a better engineer? (bot) | This week’s Wednesday Wisdom features a competition of human against bot. I took the question of how to become a better engineer, wrote an article about it, but also asked Midweek Muse (a ChatGPT trained on Wednesday Wisdom content) to write an article about it.
