Martin Fowler shares notes from the second Future of Software Development Retreat, covering five headline findings from the Thoughtworks report. Key themes include: the growing executive/engineer gap around AI expectations and risk awareness, security concerns with citizen developer vibe-coding and shadow IT, the AI bubble parallels to the dotcom era, LLMs in operations for anomaly detection and incident response, the promise of DSLs for making LLM agents more reliable and secure, and Fowler's growing concern about the pervasive 'LLM-speak' voice in writing and how it erodes credibility. He advocates for reading writing aloud as a way to preserve authentic human voice.
