## [PR size was never the point](https://dougrathbone.com/blog/2026/08/15/pr-size-was-never-the-point)

_2026-08-15 · Doug Rathbone Blog · Doug Rathbone_

A rant about oversized pull requests did the rounds on Hacker News this week, and every engineering leader I know would nod along to it. I think it aims at the wrong target. Size was always a proxy for reviewability, and AI has broken the proxy. The teams struggling right now are not drowning in big pull requests. They are drowning in all of them. Small PRs were never asked for because they are…

Somewhere in your organisation, two teams are solving the same problem and neither of them knows about the other. When you find out, your instinct will be to stop one of them. Hold that instinct, because the alternative you are picturing, one team and one clean solution, is rarely the alternative on offer. The real choice is usually between having two of something and having none of something, and…

I've spent the last few months building features alongside my engineering team. Not because I had to, but because I wanted to understand what AI-assisted engineering actually feels like at the coalface. It made me a sharper leader. It also nearly made me a bottleneck. Getting back close to the tools was a deliberate choice. As an engineering leader, it would be easy to operate entirely in the…

Somewhere in your organisation, right now, a decision is not being made because of something you said six months ago. You don't remember saying it. The context is long gone.

_2026-04-05 · Doug Rathbone Blog · Doug Rathbone_

The best engineers have always been generalists with spikes of deep expertise. AI hasn't changed that. What it has changed is the timeline. You used to have years to broaden your skills across the stack. Now you have months, and the engineers who treat breadth as someone else's problem are finding out what happens when the market stops rewarding narrow specialism. The original Renaissance…

AI coding tools have made it possible for engineering leaders to be deeper "in the code" than at any point in the last decade. That sounds like a win, and in many ways it is. But there's a trap hiding inside the dopamine hit of shipping features yourself: the more time you spend building, the less time you spend leading. And the parts of your job you're neglecting are often the ones your…

Every organisation hits moments where a decision needs to be made and not everyone agrees. The best teams move forward together anyway.

Most engineers have been in that meeting. Someone proposes an architecture, a migration plan, a new tool - and something in your gut tightens. You don't agree. You're not bought in. But instead of saying that, you do what engineers do best: you intellectualise it. You poke holes in the proposal. You counter with your own alternative. You debate the technical merits. And somehow, despite all that…

You're frustrated with someone on your team. They're not meeting your expectations, they're not "getting it," and you can feel resentment building every time they miss the mark.

Most founders and engineering leaders I meet share a dirty secret: their playbook is someone else's.

There's an old political adage that says "if you're explaining, you're losing." It's usually applied to campaign messaging, but there's a version of this that plays out constantly in boardrooms and executive meetings. When a senior leader immediately shifts into teaching mode to justify a decision, they often invite more scrutiny than they deflect. The instinct that got you here, is not what will…

Professional developers don't vibe, they control The phrase "vibe coding" has entered the lexicon to describe a workflow where developers prompt an AI, accept the output, and hope for the best.

The code review, that sacred ritual of software engineering, is dying. Not because we've abandoned quality or stopped caring about our craft, but because the ground beneath it has fundamentally shifted.

_2026-01-14 · Doug Rathbone Blog · Doug Rathbone_

The return-to-office wave sweeping through tech has become one of the industry's most contentious debates.
