An Essential Guide to Body Dysmorphic Disorder for Dental PractitionersSome patients will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to fix a smile that was never actually broken.In this episode of The Dental Practitioner, ADA NSW Advisory Services' Dr Roger Dennett and Dr Vicki Rozos sit down with psychiatrist Professor Vlasios Brakoulias, an internationally recognised expert in obsessive-compulsive and body dysmorphic disorders, to unpack what body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is, and what it means for dental practice.Professor Brakoulias explains the difference between a belief and a fact, why insight is so often poor in BDD, and why cosmetic or restorative treatment so rarely brings lasting relief. He also walks through the red flags to watch for, where AHPRA's informed consent guidelines leave dentists exposed, and, critically, suggestions on what to say to a patient when you suspect something more is going on.For any dentist who's ever had that nagging feeling that a cosmetic request doesn't add up, this episode offers a practical, compassionate framework for navigating one of dentistry's trickiest grey areas.Topics covered: body dysmorphic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, informed consent, AHPRA guidelines, non-surgical cosmetic treatment, red flags, screening tools, referral, capacity to consent, suicide risk, and duty of care.Interviewer(s): Dr Roger Dennet, Dr Vicki RozosInterviewee(s): Professor Vlasios BrakouliasRelated Course/Event/Links: NSW Dentist magazineThe Dental Practitioner is brought to you by the Australian Dental Association NSW.

Our guest, Rachel Moore, lived with undiagnosed BDD for around 30 years before finally receiving a diagnosis in her late thirties. She talks candidly about childhood bullying, family comments, and how the disorder affected her relationships and confidence. Today, Rachel lives a full and enjoyable life, which includes performing in a band and volunteering with the BDD Foundation.

Bun quitte Zig pour Rust en 11 jours à coups de Claude Code, pour 165 000$ payés par Anthropic : la réaction du créateur de Zig ne se fait pas attendre. TypeScript 7 débarque, réécrit en Go, 8 à 12x plus rapide. Entre les deux, Vidocq réimplémente Jakarta EE en souverain, le COBOL met un uppercut aux microservices, et un CTO demande à son équipe combien de temps il lui faudrait pour revenir à sa vélocité antérieure sans Claude Code. De quoi réfléchir avant le prochain rewrite. Enregistré le 17 juillet 2026 Téléchargement de l'épisode LesCastCodeurs-Episode-342.mp3 ou en vidéo sur YouTube. News Langages Est-ce qu'on peut aussi utiliser des double, des longs, ou autre pour gérer les montants monétaires en Java ? https://blog.frankel.ch/bigdecimal-vs-double/ double (IEEE 754) Usage : Calculs scientifiques, métriques, statistiques. Avantages : Très performant (matériel), idéal pour l'approximatif. Risques : Erreurs d'accumulation, égalité (==) trompeuse, NaN / -0.0. Bonnes pratiques : Utiliser une tolérance (epsilon ou ULP) pour comparer ; utiliser des algorithmes de sommation compensée (Kahan/Neumaier) pour la précision. BigDecimal Usage : Finance, comptabilité, fiscalité (précision décimale stricte). Avantages : Contrôle total des arrondis et de l'échelle. Risques : Lent (allocations), immutabilité (risque de mauvaise réaffectation), confusion equals() vs compareTo(). Bonnes pratiques : Initialiser via String ou valueOf() ; utiliser compareTo pour l'égalité. Point fixe (long) Usage : Trading, systèmes haute performance, paiements. Avantages : Très rapide, déterministe, zéro allocation. Risques : Gestion manuelle de l'échelle et des débordements (Math.addExact). Points de vigilance en production Sérialisation (JSON) : Préférer les String pour BigDecimal pour éviter la perte d'échelle. Atomicité : double n'est pas atomique ; utiliser volatile ou DoubleAdder (pour les compteurs). Tests : Toujours définir un delta ou Offset pour les tests de flottants. Bibliothèques recommandées Moneta (JSR 354) : Standard bancaire complet. decimal4j : Optimisé pour le point fixe haute performance. Apache Commons Numbers : Outils robustes pour la précision et les sommations. Typescript 7 est de sortie devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/announcing-typescript-7-0 Performance majeure : Portage natif en Go offrant des gains de vitesse de 8x à 12x et une consommation mémoire réduite. Architecture optimisée : Utilisation du multithreading (mémoire partagée) et parallélisation native (analyse, vérification de types,émission). Nouvelles options de contrôle : Introduction des flags –checkers, –builders (parallélisation) et –singleThreaded (mode mono-cœur). Nouvel observateur de fichiers : Passage à une solution basée sur @parcel/watcher pour une meilleure réactivité et stabilité du mode –watch. Compatibilité et transition : Compatible avec les bases de code TypeScript 6.0. Utilisation du package @typescript/typescript6 recommandée pour maintenir des outils dépendants de l'ancienne API. Changements de configuration : Durcissement des défauts (ex: strict activé par défaut) et suppression de nombreuses options obsolètes (target: es5, baseUrl, etc.). Amélioration de l'expérience éditeur : Serveur de langage (LSP) plus stable avec une réduction de 80 % des erreurs et 60 % des crashs. Limitations actuelles : Support incomplet pour les frameworks utilisant des plugins de langage (Vue, Svelte, Astro, Angular) en attendant une API stable. "Java, the documentary" est sur YouTube, retraçant l'histoire du langage youtube.com/watch?v=… La vidéo n'était pas encore disponible à l'heure de l'enregistrement. Sortie officielle le 17 juillet. Avec des interviews de James Gosling, Brian Goetz, Venkat Subramaniam, et bien d'autres. Librairies What's New in 8.0 - Hibernate docs.hibernate.org/orm/8.0/whats-new L'intégration de Jakarta Persistence 4.0 apporte des nouveautés majeures comme EntityAgent (qui standardise la StatelessSession), les mappings de result set en SQL natif, et de nouvelles options de configuration de session et de requêtes (Session Creation Options, Query Options). Le support de Jakarta Data 1.1 est ajouté pour les Hibernate Data Repositories, incluant l'intégration avec les requêtes statiques JPA4, les projections @Select, et les repositories asynchrones via Jakarta Concurrency ou Hibernate Reactive. L'introduction du Graph-based Flushing remplace l'ancienne approche basée sur des heuristiques par un modèle de dépendances utilisant les contraintes relationnelles, afin d'améliorer la fiabilité des tris, la gestion des batchs et les performances globales (bien que l'ancienne méthode reste temporairement disponible). L'API ProcedureCall a été améliorée pour faciliter le casting des résultats (asResultSetOutput) et permettre la déclaration paresseuse (lazy) du mapping des ResultSet. Hibernate supporte désormais la sécurité au niveau de la ligne (Row-Level Security) de manière native pour les bases de données compatibles (PostgreSQL, Db2, SQL Server, CockroachDB) afin de gérer la visibilité en contexte multi-tenant. Une nouvelle méthode getReference() permet dorénavant de récupérer la référence d'une entité directement à partir de son natural id. Le mode Safe Mode Validator (hibernate.query.safe_mode_enabled=true) fait son apparition pour bloquer les opérations risquées comme sql(), function() ou column() dans les requêtes HQL et Criteria, ce qui est particulièrement utile pour les applications exposées aux LLMs. La gestion des associations bidirectionnelles lors de la phase de flush peut maintenant être prise en charge automatiquement par Hibernate (hibernate.bidirectionality_management=true), synchronisant la référence côté inverse de l'association. Le Subselect Fetching est considérablement amélioré, supportant dorénavant les associations "to-one" pour le bulk select fetching (au lieu de se limiter aux collections) et devenant une option de premier ordre via FetchMethod.BY_SUBQUERY. Un des papas de Cucumber et Gherkin lance Var, une alternative pour le test et le BDD var.oselvar.com Lancement de Vár : Nouvel outil de test créé pour pallier les défauts de Cucumber. Limites de Cucumber : Syntaxe Gherkin trop rigide, intégration difficile avec les exécuteurs de tests et support éditeur limité. Usage avec l'IA : Conçu spécifiquement pour vérifier que les agents IA respectent les intentions et spécifications de l'utilisateur. Fonctionnement : Utilisation du Markdown plutôt que du Gherkin ; sert à la fois de guide et d'outil de vérification. Développement assisté : Code et documentation générés en grande partie par Claude sous supervision humaine. Appel aux retours : Projet ouvert aux tests et aux critiques de la communauté. Web Une nouvelle méthode HTTP : QUERY https://kreya.app/blog/new-http-query-method-explained/ Méthode HTTP QUERY (RFC 10008) pour les recherches complexes. Problème : GET (limité par l'URL) vs POST (sémantique inadaptée). Avantages : Permet un corps de requête, sûr, idempotent et cacheable. Limites : Support infrastructurel faible, non partageable par lien, cache complexe. Usage : À réserver aux requêtes complexes si l'environnement le permet. Comment je fais du design en tant que dev backend eventuallycoding.com/p/comment-je-fais-du-design-en-tant-que-dev-backend Hugo Lassiège retrace l'évolution de son workflow de création d'interfaces en tant que développeur backend, depuis ses débuts avec Bootstrap jusqu'à l'ère de l'intelligence artificielle. L'article explique comment la structuration des éléments visuels a progressé grâce à l'Atomic Design, l'émergence des design systems et l'adoption des design tokens via un framework comme Tailwind. L'auteur détaille son processus actuel qui s'appuie fortement sur Claude Design pour générer et itérer sur des maquettes à partir d'un brief, d'un screenshot ou d'un design system de référence. Il aborde également le risque de slopification et de standardisation extrême apporté par ces outils, rappelant que si l'IA simplifie la technique, il reste crucial d'injecter de l'identité et de l'originalité pour éviter un web trop aseptisé. Data et Intelligence Artificielle De l'utilisation de SKILL.md et de "loop engineering" pour augmenter sa productivité glaforge.dev/posts/…/of-skills-and-loops-with-ai-assistance Les skills permettent d'encoder une procédure de manière répétable et automatisable Le loop engineering enlève l'humain de la boucle afin que l'agent atteigne un objectif donné de façon plus autonome Pour écrire des Codelabs (sorte de tutoriel guidé pas à pas) Guillaume a transformé une séance de création de codelab avec son agent préféré (Antigravity) en skill réutilisable pour l'écriture de ses prochains codelabs Il a également utilisé l'approche de "loop engineering" à la mode en ce moment pour que son agent IA compile, exécute, teste les instructions et le code de son codelab, pour qu'il soit complètement fonctionnel Gain estimé : passer de 2 jours de travail à moins de 2 heures ! Redeploying Claude Fable 5 anthropic.com/news/redeploying-fable-5 Anthropic a annoncé le rétablissement de l'accès à ses modèles Claude Fable 5 et Mythos 5, qui avaient été suspendus suite à des restrictions d'exportation imposées par le gouvernement américain le 12 juin 2026. Cette suspension faisait suite à un rapport d'Amazon démontrant une méthode pour contourner les garde-fous de Fable 5, lui permettant d'identifier et d'exploiter une vulnérabilité logicielle (un jailbreak). Pour y remédier, Anthropic a renforcé ses mécanismes de sécurité en déployant un nouveau classifieur capable de bloquer cette technique spécifique dans plus de 99 % des cas, acceptant en contrepartie une augmentation des faux positifs sur des requêtes bénignes. Face à l'absence de consensus sur l'évaluation des jailbreaks, Anthropic s'associe à Amazon, Microsoft, Google et d'autres partenaires pour développer un standard industriel évaluant la sévérité de ces failles selon quatre critères : gain de capacité, étendue du gain, facilité d'arsenalisation et découvrabilité. L'entreprise s'engage également à approfondir sa collaboration avec le gouvernement américain, notamment via des évaluations pré-déploiement, un partage rapide d'informations sur les failles, et des ressources dédiées à la recherche conjointe sur la sécurité de l'IA. Outillage La réécriture de Bun en Rust et la réaction du créateur de Zig bun.com/blog/bun-in-rust et andrewkelley.me/post/my-thoughts-bun-rust-rewrite.html Bun, le runtime JavaScript et TypeScript écrit à l'origine en Zig, a été entièrement réécrit en Rust pour des raisons de stabilité et de gestion de la mémoire. Cette migration massive d'un demi-million de lignes de code a été bouclée en seulement 11 jours grâce à l'utilisation intensive de Claude Code fonctionnant en parallèle, pour un coût d'API estimé à 165 000 dollars financé par Anthropic. Andrew Kelley, le créateur de Zig, a réagi publiquement en qualifiant l'ancienne base de code de Bun de "slop" remplie de hacks et de fuites mémoire accumulées par une course aux fonctionnalités. Kelley exprime son soulagement face à ce départ, expliquant que les plantages incessants de Bun devenaient un passif réputationnel toxique pour le langage Zig et sa fondation. Le rachat de Bun par Anthropic fin 2025 avait déjà mis fin aux donations financières de Bun envers la Zig Software Foundation, facilitant cette séparation. La nouvelle version Rust de Bun passe désormais la quasi-totalité des tests, réduit la taille du binaire et est déjà déployée de manière transparente en production dans Claude Code. Nouveautés de Git 2.55 github.blog/open-source/git/highlights-from-git-2-55 Support natif de FSMonitor sous Linux via inotify pour accélérer les commandes comme git status sur les grands dépôts Intégration de la compaction incrémentale MIDX (multi-pack index) dans git repack pour optimiser la réécriture des métadonnées Amélioration drastique des performances de génération des bitmaps et des pseudo-merge bitmaps lors des tâches de maintenance Nouvelle commande expérimentale git history fixup pour intégrer facilement des modifications locales dans un commit antérieur Possibilité d'exécuter des hooks configurés en parallèle pour optimiser le temps de build et de validation Utilisation d'un autostash automatique lors d'un git checkout -m en cas de conflit de fusion pour éviter de bloquer l'espace de travail Nouvelle commande git format-rev permettant de formater rapidement des commits reçus via l'entrée standard (stdin) Support du push simultané vers un groupe de remotes configuré Protection contre l'exécution de séquences de contrôle de terminal malveillantes via les flux de progression distants Vidocq, une réimplémentation souveraine et sans dépendance de Jakarta EE et Microprofile vidocq.dev/posts/vidocq-a-sovereign-jakarta-ee-and-microprofile-runtime Lancement de Vidocq : Runtime Java open source complet, compatible Jakarta EE Core Profile et Souveraineté numérique : Projet européen hébergé sur Codeberg, sous licences EUPL 1.2, EPL 2 et GPL 2.0. Standardisation totale : Implémentation fidèle des spécifications (CDI, REST, JSON, etc.), validée par 5 650 tests TCK officiels. Sécurité radicale : Zéro dépendance externe et aucune bibliothèque tierce. Aucune manipulation de bytecode à l'exécution (« magie » générée à la compilation via JDK 25). Compatible JPMS, AOT, GraalVM et Leyden CDS. Disponibilité : Projet en phase alpha, code et documentation accessibles sur vidocq.dev. Article complémentaire qui revient sur la genèse de Vidocq, en utilisant l'IA et les TCKs pour driver l'aspect spec-driven development vidocq.dev/posts/the-story-of-vidocq Le "selfware" : Guillaume s'est fait plais' en vibe-codant son propre éditeur de texte glaforge.dev/posts/…/selfware-building-my-own-text-editor-without-knowing-swift Concept de « Selfware » : création de logiciels conçus exclusivement pour soi-même, sans monétisation ni contraintes liées aux utilisateurs tiers. Le rôle de l'IA : les agents de programmation (comme Antigravity) suppriment la barrière technique de l'apprentissage des langages (Swift, APIs) pour les non-développeurs. Développement minimaliste : privilégier la performance et l'utilité directe (démarrage instantané, interface native) au détriment des fonctionnalités complexes (plugins, télémétrie, gestion de comptes). Absence de pression : libération des contraintes liées à la compatibilité, à la maintenance logicielle et aux retours utilisateurs ; le logiciel n'a besoin d'être « assez bon » que pour ses propres besoins. Incitation à l'autonomie : encourager la création d'outils sur mesure pour résoudre les frictions quotidiennes plutôt que de subir les limitations des logiciels commerciaux. Architecture Le cobol a donné un uppercut au microservices https://freedium-mirror.cfd/@maahisoft20/your-microservices-lost-to-cobol-let-that-sink-in-8ce2e236d007 Retour d'expérience sur la migration d'un système COBOL vers des microservices cloud-native qui s'est soldée par un retour en arrière après avoir constaté que le traitement batch initial était plus rapide, moins cher et plus fiable Là où le batch COBOL traitait 2.4 millions d'enregistrements en 11 minutes, le système distribué modernisé à base de message queues, retries et Kubernetes prenait 47 minutes et tombait sous la charge COBOL brille par ses caractéristiques conçues spécifiquement pour la finance comme le calcul décimal précis sans floating point errors et l'absence totale d'overhead réseau, de conteneurs ou de cold starts Rappel que distribuer un système multiplie les points de défaillance silencieux et complexifie la gestion de la cohérence transactionnelle par rapport à une exécution locale séquentielle Une invitation à se demander si les projets de décomposition en microservices apportent réellement un gain de performance de bout en bout pour l'utilisateur final ou s'ils optimisent seulement le diagramme d'architecture Méthodologies Ma meilleure question d'entretien Spring beaufume.fr/articles/spring-interview Florian beaufumé partage sa question d'entretien favorite pour évaluer des développeurs Spring de niveau intermédiaire à avancé : "Que pouvez-vous me dire sur le paramètre spring.jpa.open-in-view ?". Ce paramètre détermine l'activation du pattern Open Session In View (OSIV) qui, lorsqu'il est à true (la valeur par défaut dans Spring Boot), maintient l'un EntityManager JPA ouvert durant toute la requête HTTP. Si l'OSIV facilite le développement en évitant les fameuses LazyInitializationException lors de la sérialisation des entités en JSON, il pose d'importants problèmes de performance en provoquant des requêtes SQL non maîtrisées (comme le problème du N+1 select) en dehors de la couche service. Maintenir l'OSIV actif augmente également le temps de rétention des connexions au sein du pool de la base de données, limitant la scalabilité de l'application. La recommandation est de désactiver ce comportement en le positionnant à false, et de gérer explicitement le chargement des données requises au sein des transactions (via des DTOs, des requêtes JOIN FETCH ou des Entity Graphs) pour garder le contrôle sur les accès à la base de données. 10 points à retenir du rapport AI Engineering 2026 : The Acceleration Whiplash faros.ai/blog/ai-acceleration-whiplash-takeaways L'IA a franchi un cap et est devenue l'auteur principal du code : le taux d'acceptation du code généré est passé de 20% à 60% dans les équipes étudiées par Faros AI. La vélocité métier est bien réelle, avec une augmentation de 66% des epics livrées et une hausse de 33,7% du throughput des tâches par développeur. Ce volume cache un code churn massif (+861%), ce qui signifie qu'une quantité énorme de code est supprimée ou remplacée peu après avoir été ajoutée. La qualité en aval se dégrade fortement : les bugs par développeur ont augmenté de 54% et le nombre d'incidents par pull request a explosé de 242,7%. Le processus de code review est complètement saturé, entraînant un temps médian de relecture multiplié par cinq et une augmentation de 31,3% des PRs mergées sans aucune revue. Le système repose de plus en plus sur les développeurs seniors qui subissent une "senior engineer tax", devant relire un volume insoutenable de code à l'apparence correcte mais structurellement fragile. Contrairement à certaines hypothèses récentes de DORA, une forte maturité DevOps ne protège pas les entreprises contre cette détérioration ; le "Acceleration Whiplash" frappe de la même manière les équipes très performantes. En résumé, les outils d'IA inondent les pipelines de livraison avec un volume de code pensé pour un rythme machine, alors que les systèmes de vérification reposent toujours sur un rythme de validation humain. Loi, société et organisation Le coût d'une equipe d'engineering qui ne sait plus ce qu'elle fait dans un contexte d'augmentation de coût des coding agents https://freedium-mirror.cfd/@developer_programmer/i-spent-47-000-on-claude-code-in-90-[…]-asked-me-one-question-and-i-couldnt-answer-it-af3b203f81bb Une équipe de 8 ingénieurs a vu sa vélocité de développement exploser en utilisant Claude Code de manière intensive, jusqu'à recevoir une facture d'API salée de 47 213 $ pour seulement trois mois d'utilisation. Face à cette dépense, la question piège du CTO n'était pas sur le montant, mais sur la dépendance : "Si nous arrêtions Claude Code demain, combien de temps faudrait-il pour que notre vélocité revienne à son niveau initial ?". L'auteur s'est rendu compte qu'il était incapable de répondre car son équipe, en particulier les profils juniors, avait commencé à perdre l'habitude de concevoir et d'implémenter des fonctionnalités complexes sans l'aide permanente d'un agent. Le deuxième risque stratégique soulevé est celui de la dépendance tarifaire et du vendor lock-in : si l'outil devient une infrastructure indispensable au quotidien, l'entreprise perd tout pouvoir de négociation face aux augmentations de prix de l'éditeur d'IA. Pour éviter que l'IA ne devienne une béquille qui atrophie les compétences de l'équipe, l'article suggère de poser des limites budgétaires strictes, d'organiser régulièrement des sprints sans IA ("AI-free sprints") et de concevoir des processus de développement portables. Retour de Nicolas Delsaux sur jqwik qui donne une perspective plus complète concernant jqwik, il me semble que vous oubliez (comme tous les gens qui parlent de LLM dans "l'industrie") que l'auteur n'a pas fait ça juste pour faire chier le monde, mais parce que ces outils ont des externalités incroyablement négatives, ce dont l'auteur s'explique dans son blog (blog.johanneslink.net/2026/06/09/the-jqwik-anti-ai-affair) Vous oubliez également de signaler que le ticket (github.com/jqwik-team/jqwik/issues/708) par lequel un utilisateur se plaint de cette fonctionnalité a été écrit par un agent. N'oubliez pas non plus que l'enthousiasme pour ces technologies n'est en fait pas universel, et que ces technologies sont loin d'être inévitables (les gains de vitesse ne sont, d'après circle CI - circleci.com/resources/2026-state-of-software-delivery, pas des gains de productivité ) OkHttp, Okio, Retrofit et SQLDelight rejoignent Commonhaus ! commonhaus.org/activity/315.html La fondation Commonhaus, via une publication de Andres Almiray, annonce l'arrivée de quatre projets majeurs de l'écosystème Java et Kotlin : OkHttp, Okio, Retrofit et SQLDelight. Ces projets, initialement créés chez Square (devenu Block), sont désormais regroupés et gérés sous la bannière lysine.dev au sein de la fondation. Jesse Wilson et Jake Wharton, créateurs et mainteneurs historiques de ces outils, rejoignent Commonhaus en tant que leaders de lysine.dev. Suite à leur départ de Block, ils expliquent avoir choisi Commonhaus pour offrir à leur immense communauté d'utilisateurs un cadre de gouvernance pérenne, stable et digne de confiance.

Matt Wynne, co-creator of Cucumber and BDD practitioner, joins Joe for the first time in over a decade to talk about what two years inside a Silicon Valley AI startup taught him about the future of software testing. Matt spent time at Mechanical Orchard working alongside experienced XP practitioners to modernize legacy COBOL mainframes using LLMs, and then spent a week with the team that coined the term "software factory," where the rule was simple: humans never write the code, never read the code. In this episode, Matt breaks down what harness engineering actually means, why shared understanding is still the real bottleneck even in an agentic world, and how testers can use multiple LLMs to review AI-generated pull requests without reading every line. He also gets honest about the grief that comes with realizing you can encode years of hard-won expertise into a Markdown file, and why that does not mean your skills are worthless. If you are working in a brownfield codebase, wondering how to handle the flood of agentic PRs, or trying to figure out where testers fit in a world where agents write the code, this conversation is worth your time.

I'm more excited about lazy imports after my Cutting Python Web App Memory Over 31% experience Some Python patterns depend on imports executing immediately. For example: Module-level side effects — a module that registers a handler or modifies global state at import time will behave differently if that import is deferred.

Brian #4: Choosing a Python Logging Library in 2026 Ayooluwa Isaiah " which libraries matter, how they compare, where they overlap with the standard module, and when each one makes sense.” The slant with this article is the need to log json output, which seems reasonable as things like API entry and exit point logging will include json. Covered libraries standard library logging with a hat tip to python-json-logger Same site has a guide to setting up python-json-logger structlog Loguru Logbook picologging Some benchmarks with structlog, stdlib+json, and Loguru, with structlog coming out faster I liked the Loguru example I'm going to have to try @logger.catch and logger.exception() for easily logging exceptions and serialize=True to enable JSON output.

Onzeker zijn over je uiterlijk is ons allen niet vreemd, natuurlijk (XOXO, dat vermaledijde patriarchaat). We zijn allemaal weleens onzeker of ontevreden over hoe we eruitzien (sad), maar meestal neemt het niet ons hele leven over. Bij Maaike Schmitz ging het anders. Toen ze op een dag een kaal plekje ontdekte op haar hoofd, kon ze met niks anders meer bezig zijn. Ze raakte ervan overtuigd dat ze kaal werd en die overtuiging bracht haar zo in paniek dat ze zo - hup - een zwart gat in spiralde. Ze móést elke vijf minuten checken of het kale plekje niet erger was geworden, kon niet meer in de spiegel te kijken (zelfs niet in de weerspiegeling van een raam of het koffiezetapparaat) en liet haar vriend haar haren wassen, omdat ze het zelf niet meer durfde. Zelfs toen ze ging trouwen, wilde ze niet zien hoe ze eruitzag. Pas toen ze hoorde over Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), wist ze dat ze ziek was. BDD - wij hadden er nog nooit van gehoord, jullie? - is een mentale aandoening waardoor je zelfbeeld vertekend raakt en je hele leven beheerst kan worden door je uiterlijk. Maaike schoof bij ons aan om openhartig haar verhaal te doen en zo hopelijk BDD meer bekendheid te geven. Ze vertelt over haar ervaring, therapie, medicatie en hoe het nu gaat. Herken je je in Maaikes verhaal? Er is hulp en je bent niet alleen.

Mea Culpa welcomes back our good friend, Brooklyn Dad Defiant, or simply BDD. BDD is a left-wing political commentator on Twitter, YouTube, and various other social media platforms. His outspoken defiance and often humorous take on the Trump administration have earned him over 1.2 million Twitter followers. Since the riots at the Capitol on January 6, BDD has used his platform to bring attention to GOP lawmakers like MTG, Cruz, Jordan, and Biggs, asking that they face consequences for their actions in connection to the insurrection. In addition, he is keeping watch over Kevin McCarthy and the GOP Congress over what he sees as the far-right hijacking of our legislature and courts to push through a damaging, extremist agenda. He calls himself a proud papa who is perpetually pissed. He's a fascinating guy. BBD and Michael dig deep into Rudy, DeSantis and what's in store for Trump.

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: Should I declare my struggle with this AI world we live in here? Nah. I mean, I'd like the hype to die down, a lot, but we keep getting new tools and I get to experiment, so here we are. My real struggle, and this podcast is implicated in it, is around non-technical people contributing to production systems. Why are we so obsessed with this idea? COBOL tried it. Low-code and no-code tried it. BDD and Gherkin aspire to it. Yet time and again the field demonstrates that you need people who know their stuff. To “democratize” software engineering implies that all people have the desire and ability to become software engineers. That premise is false. You democratize access to education or financial systems, the stock market say. You don't democratize skill. Skills are earned. We would never, I hope, democratize bridge engineering or piloting an aircraft. Software engineers are just as critical as either. When our software breaks, money goes missing, electrical grids fail, information stops flowing. What I do think is great: now more than ever, as long as tokens stay cheap, people have more ability to build useful tools for themselves. But here is how I think about it. We have done tremendous work on literacy, and most people can read, but not everyone is an author. The same applies to code. anon e mouse asks, Should I share my tools? I keep building small local software tools to better test and debug the application I'm working on. The problem is that whenever I go “above and beyond” the assigned and expected work and try and responsible check it into version control and share it with the rest of the team, it gets bogged down in code reviews because it doesn't meet the team lead's vision because it wasn't part of the vision! Once I go through that process though, it's mostly appreciated, but the team lead is under a lot of business pressure and often mentions that we need to focus. Maybe I'm not focused enough, but many of these little tools are things that making verification and delivery much smoother! Like local testing utilities to verify and sample api endpoints that otherwise could only be called after prod deployments due to a lack of test data. Our partners like when we're able to show the output before deployment, and the rest of the team usually struggles with that. I feel a pressure to hide my tools, but then I feel sloppy for having a bunch of useful tools outside of version control. These are things like formatting output, running experiments, testing data for variations. Am I unfocused or just bad at articulating the value of these tools?

Mea Culpa welcomes back, the Brooklyn Dad Defiant, or simply BDD. BDD is a left-wing political commentator on Twitter, YouTube,  and various other social media platforms. His outspoken defiance and often humorous take on the Trump administration have earned him almost a million Twitter followers. Since the riots at the Capitol on January 6, BDD has used his platform to bring attention to GOP lawmakers like MTG, Cruz, Jordan, and Biggs, asking that they face consequences for their actions in connection to the insurrection. He calls himself a proud papa who is perpetually pissed. Michael and BDD dig deep into the culture wars, the Dobbs decision, and DeSantis.

Most of us have a bad hair day or we're not happy if we have a little pimple on our face. But that's quite different from the experience of people with body dysmorphic disorder.  (BDD)  More than simple insecurity about one's appearance, BDD is a disorder in which a person's perception of their appearance becomes all-consuming and deeply distressing. Perfectly normal looking people can see themselves as horribly ugly.  Or one minor detail becomes an enormous fixation, like the patient who said they felt they were just one giant pimple with hands and feet.   In this episode, Dr. Phil Stieg speaks with psychiatrist and BDD expert Dr. Katharine Phillips about how altered visual processing in the brain leads individuals to fixate on minor and often imagined flaws, while behaviors like mirror-checking and reassurance seeking reinforce the cycle of negative perception. Dr. Phillips highlights the serious mental health risks associated with this condition and discusses evidence-based treatments that have led many patients to a meaningful recovery.

Sam Milburn, mum to Jack, is a passionate advocate for more awareness and better access to treatment for BDD. In this episode, she shares her hard-won advice for other parents, including how to navigate the system on behalf of your child while also looking after yourself.

When does an insecurity cross the line into a mental health disorder?It's not as obvious as you think.In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban breaks down one of the most important distinctions in aesthetic medicine: the difference between normal self-improvement—and true body dysmorphia.Because while insecurity is part of being human…There's a point where it stops being physical—and becomes psychological.And if you miss that line, surgery doesn't help.It makes things worse.Here's what he unpacks:• What body dysmorphia actually is—and why it's often misunderstood• The defining traits: obsession, distortion, and fixation on minor or nonexistent flaws• Why hearing “this is ruining my life” is a major red flag• The significance of multiple consults—and when it signals a deeper issue• Why some patients can never be satisfied—no matter how technically successful the surgery is• How social media, filters, and AI are accelerating distorted self-perception—especially in younger patientsHe also addresses a reality most won't say out loud:In a field with increasing access and fewer barriers,the responsibility to protect patients falls on the provider. Because not every patient should be operated on.Dr. Rahban explains how he evaluates not just anatomy—but psychological readiness—and why sometimes the most ethical decision is to say no.If you've ever questioned whether something is truly worth fixing—or wondered where the line actually is—this episode offers a clear, unfiltered framework to help you understand it.✨ If you enjoyed this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored:✔️ Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.✔️ Rate & Review—your feedback helps more people find us.✔️ Follow Dr. Rady Rahban across all platforms for daily insights, behind-the-scenes, and patient education:Instagram: @drradyrahbanTikTok: @radyrahbanMDYouTube: @Rady RahbanFacebook: @Rady Rahban✔️ Share this episode with someone considering plastic surgery—the right knowledge can save a life.

Is it OCD, or is your brain just wired differently?

Do you spend way too much time checking yourself in the mirror? Fixating on flaws that nobody else seems to notice? Canceling plans because you feel like you look "off" that day? You're not alone, and this isn't about vanity—this is about a real struggle that deserves understanding. Today we're diving into Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) and how it shows up in eating disorder recovery. The statistics are eye-opening: while only 1 in 50 people in the general population experience BDD, 25-40% of people with eating disorders also struggle with body dysmorphic disorder. In this episode, you'll discover: What Body Dysmorphic Disorder actually is (beyond occasional insecurity) The shocking connection between eating disorders and BDD Real client story: How BDD stole years of living from a successful VP 6 practical tools to break free from obsessive body thoughts Why "your body is an instrument, not an ornament" How to practice body neutrality when body positivity feels impossible The difference between healthy awareness and destructive obsession This goes beyond the mirror—it's about reclaiming the mental energy that's been stolen from you and learning to live present in your own life. THE EYE-OPENING STATISTICS 1 in 50 people in general population experience Body Dysmorphic Disorder 25-40% of people with eating disorders also struggle with BDD This means: If you're struggling with disordered eating, there's a much higher chance you're also dealing with body dysmorphic disorder. WHAT IS BODY DYSMORPHIC DISORDER? BDD is classified in the DSM-5 under Obsessive Compulsive and Related Disorders. It's when thoughts about your appearance become all-consuming—when they start stealing your joy and limiting your life. This isn't about vanity. This is about genuine struggle that deserves compassion and understanding. Common signs include: Spending hours checking your appearance in mirrors Constantly comparing yourself to others (especially on social media) Avoiding social settings because you're convinced everyone is staring Taking dozens of photos from different angles to "capture what you really look like" Canceling plans when you feel you look "off" Fixating on specific body parts (face, stomach, skin, weight) CLIENT STORY: ELLA'S BREAKTHROUGH Ella was a VP at her company—successful, married, two kids. From the outside, everything looked perfect. But inside, she was crumbling. Ella spent hours fixating on what she perceived as facial asymmetry and "hating her stomach." She would: Cancel plans if her appearance didn't feel right Take dozens of selfies from different angles Hibernate in loose clothing when her stomach wasn't "flat enough" Miss out on living because she was trapped in the obsession The truth: When I looked at Ella, I saw an amazingly beautiful and confident woman. The things she fixated on weren't visible to me or anyone else in her life. Six months later, Ella shared: "For the first time in years, I went to my daughter's birthday party and I didn't think about my appearance. I was just there. I was present. I laughed, and I played and I connected. This is what living feels like." 6 TOOLS TO BREAK FREE FROM BODY OBSESSION 1. Practice Awareness Notice when you're engaging in checking behaviors Observe with compassion: "I notice I'm having thoughts right now" Technique: Set a timer when getting ready—when it goes off, walk away from the mirror no matter what 2. Challenge the Distortion Question absolute thoughts: "Everyone notices this about me" or "I look disgusting" Exercise: Write how you'd respond if your best friend shared the same concerns Remember: "Our minds distort our mirrors" 3. Reduce Comparison (Eliminate If Possible) Studies show increased social media correlates with worse BDD symptoms Action: Go on a social media detox or unfollow triggering accounts Replace scrolling time with something that feeds your soul 4. Redirect Your Focus Create a list of activities that fully engage your mind Have this list ready BEFORE the thoughts hit Examples: Reading, puzzles, nature walks, calling a friend 5. Practice Body Neutrality Focus on what your body can DO rather than how it looks "Can your legs carry you through the day? Can your arms hug people you love?" Remember: Your body is an instrument, not an ornament 6. Seek Help and Support BDD responds well to treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Working with specialists in body image issues makes an enormous difference You don't have to heal from this alone THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR BODY Your body was never meant to be your life's work. It was meant to champion you in doing your life's purpose and your life's work. You only have one precious life. You deserve to: Be present and laugh without wondering how your face looks Eat cake without worrying about your stomach afterward Connect deeply without background noise of how others view you Live without the mental prison of appearance obsession KEY QUOTES

For much of the time Mark Brown lived with BDD, he looked as if he was functioning from the outside. But inside he was living under what he calls "a dome of shame and disgust". Now, after lots of hard work and therapy, he says he's much more present in his life and his old life with BDD feels like a distant memory. 

Vi gästas den här veckan av Céline Carlsson och pratar om BDD, ADD och autism. Hur är det egentligen att leva med BDD och hur tar man sig ur det självhatet? Céline berättar om hur man som tjej med ADD, precis som många andra tjejer och kvinnor vittnar om, så enkelt missas i skolan då man klarar av sina uppgifter, presterar bra och “inte verkar ha några problem” men att kaoset istället pågår inuti och att man ofta kraschar när man kommer hem. Om att lära sig hur man själv fungerar och då kan anpassa sitt liv på ett sätt som gör att det fungerar bättre.

We're continuing our AI Tools series with Marcos Polanco, engineering leader, founder, and ecosystem builder from the Bay Area, who joins Matt and Moshe to introduce CLEAR, his method for using AI to build real software, not just demos. Drawing on decades in software development and his recent research into how AI is reshaping the way teams ship products, Marcos shares how CLEAR gives both technical and non‑technical builders a production‑oriented way to work with vibe coding tools.Instead of treating AI like a magical black box, Marcos frames it as an “idiot savant”: incredibly capable and eager, but with no judgment. CLEAR wraps that raw power in structure, guardrails, and engineering discipline, so founders and PMs can go from prototype to production while keeping humans in control of the last, hardest 20%.Join Matt, Moshe, and Marcos as they explore:Marcos's journey through engineering, founding, and AI research, and why he created CLEARWhy AI tools like Bolt, Cursor, Claude, and Gemini are fabulous for prototypes but risky for production without a methodCLEAR in detail:C – Context: onboarding AI like a new hire, using stories and behavior‑driven design (BDD) to articulate requirementsL – Layout: breaking work into focused, scoped pieces and choosing a tech stack so AI isn't overwhelmedE – Execute: applying test‑driven development (TDD), writing tests first, then having AI write code to pass themA – Assess: using a second, independent LLM as a QA agent, plus a human‑run 5 Whys to fix root causes upstreamR – Run: shipping to users, gathering new data, and feeding it back into the next iteration of contextHow CLEAR lowers cognitive load for both humans and AIs and reduces regressions and hallucinationsWhy Markdown (with diagrams like Mermaid) is becoming Marcos's standard format for shared human–AI documentationHow CLEAR changes the coordination layer of software development while keeping engineers central to quality and judgmentPractical advice for PMs and founders who want to move from “just vibes” to predictable, production‑grade AI developmentAnd much more!Want to go deeper on CLEAR or connect with Marcos?CLEAR on GitHub: https://github.com/marcospolanco/ai-native-organizations/blob/main/CLEAR.mdCLEAR slides: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1mwwDtr7cCP5jLUyNVgGR5Aj-MBq8xsMlhSc0pvSQDks/edit?usp=sharingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcospolancoYou can also connect with us and find more episodes:Product for Product Podcast: http://linkedin.com/company/product-for-product-podcastMatt Green: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattgreenproduct/Moshe Mikanovsky: http://www.linkedin.com/in/mikanovskyNote: Any views mentioned in the podcast are the sole views of our hosts and guests, and do not represent the products mentioned in any way.Please leave us a review and feedback ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We welcome members of the VFW Washington Office for a roundtable on advocacy, benefits delivery, and showing up for veterans where it matters most. Leaders from National Legislative Service and National Veteran Service discuss how frontline experience shapes VFW's work on Capitol Hill. The episode opens with updates from recent VFW congressional engagement, including a House roundtable on veterans' data protection and claims fraud tied to predatory practices and AI-generated nexus letters. The panel also reviews Nancy Springer's recent testimony on more than two dozen veterans-related bills focused on benefits reform, appeals modernization, and expanded access to care. The conversation turns to the VFW's Benefits Delivery at Discharge (BDD) program, highlighting how accredited service officers help transitioning service members avoid mistakes, overpayments, and fraud. Real-world examples show how early engagement protects long-term benefits, health care access, and financial stability. The episode also looks beyond policy to leadership and service, featuring reflections from a Medal of Honor reception ahead of the Army–Navy Game. Highlights from VFW's Army–Navy tailgates underscore how visibility and camaraderie help connect the next generation of veterans to the organization.

For years, Dan Joseph's life was governed by his BDD and a strict set of rules and rituals designed to camouflage his perceived flaws. Today, he truly believes it doesn't matter how he presents to people. And the next day is no longer to be survived, but to be lived.

On today's episode, I'm sitting down with bestselling author and self-development coach Roxie Nafousi to explore what true confidence looks like and how to build it from the inside out. Roxie opens up about her early struggles with self-worth, her diagnosis with BDD, and how manifestation became the catalyst that transformed her life. We break down the core principles from her new book—Confidence: Eight Steps to Knowing Your Worth—including mastering your thoughts, acting with intention, breaking free from comparison, and doing hard things to build resilience. Roxie also shares practical tools like visualizing your highest self, celebrating your wins, and shifting your perspective when comparison creeps in. This episode is a must-listen if you want to strengthen your self-worth, show up as your future self, and move into the new year with clarity and intention.

BONUS: Augmented AI Development - Software Engineering First, AI Second In this special episode, Dawid Dahl introduces Augmented AI Development (AAID)—a disciplined approach where professional developers augment their capabilities with AI while maintaining full architectural control. He explains why starting with software engineering fundamentals and adding AI where appropriate is the opposite of most frameworks, and why this approach produces production-grade software rather than technical debt. The AAID Philosophy: Don't Abandon Your Brain "Two of the fundamental developer principles for AAID are: first, don't abandon your brain. And the second is incremental steps."   Dawid's Augmented AI Development framework stands in stark contrast to "vibecoding"—which he defines strictly as not caring about code at all, only results on screen. AAID is explicitly designed for professional developers who maintain full understanding and control of their systems. The framework is positioned on the furthest end of the spectrum from vibe coding, requiring developers to know their craft deeply. The two core principles—don't abandon your brain, work incrementally—reflect a philosophy that AI is a powerful collaborator, not a replacement for thinking. This approach recognizes that while 96% of Dawid's code is now written by AI, he remains the architect, constantly steering and verifying every step. In this segment we refer to Marcus Hammarberg's work and his book The Bungsu Story. Software Engineering First, AI Second: A Hill to Die On "You should start with software engineering wisdom, and then only add AI where it's actually appropriate. I think this is super, super important, and the entire foundation of this framework. This is a hill I will personally die on."   What makes AAID fundamentally different from other AI-assisted development frameworks is its starting point. Most frameworks start with AI capabilities and try to add structure and best practices afterward. Dawid argues this is completely backwards. AAID begins with 50-60 years of proven software engineering wisdom—test-driven development, behavior-driven development, continuous delivery—and only then adds AI where it enhances the process. This isn't a minor philosophical difference; it's the foundation of producing maintainable, production-grade software. Dawid admits he's sometimes "manipulating developers to start using good, normal software engineering practices, but in this shiny AI box that feels very exciting and new." If the AI wrapper helps developers finally adopt TDD and BDD, he's fine with that. Why TDD is Non-Negotiable with AI "Every time I prompt an AI and it writes code for me, there is often at least one or two or three mistakes that will cause catastrophic mistakes down the line and make the software impossible to change."   Test-driven development isn't just a nice-to-have in AAID—it's essential. Dawid has observed that AI consistently makes 2-3 mistakes per prompt that could have catastrophic consequences later. Without TDD's red-green-refactor cycle, these errors accumulate, making code increasingly difficult to change. TDD answers the question "Is my code technically correct?" while acceptance tests answer "Is the system releasable?" Both are needed for production-grade software. The refactor step is where 50-60 years of software engineering wisdom gets applied to make code maintainable. This matters because AAID isn't vibe coding—developers care deeply about code quality, not just visible results. Good software, as Dave Farley says, is software that's easy to change. Without TDD, AI-generated code becomes a maintenance nightmare. The Problem with "Prompt and Pray" Autonomous Agents "When I hear 'our AI can now code for over 30 hours straight without stopping,' I get very afraid. You fall asleep, and the next morning, the code is done. Maybe the tests are green. But what has it done in there? Imagine everything it does for 30 hours. This system will not work."   Dawid sees two diverging paths for AI-assisted development's future. The first—autonomous agents working for hours or days without supervision—terrifies him. The marketing pitch sounds appealing: prompt the AI, go to sleep, wake up to completed features. But the reality is technical debt accumulation at scale. Imagine all the decisions, all the architectural choices, all the mistakes an AI makes over 30 hours of autonomous work. Dawid advocates for the stark contrast: working in extremely small increments with constant human steering, always aligned to specifications. His vision of the future isn't AI working alone—it's voice-controlled confirmations where he says "Yes, yes, no, yes" as AI proposes each tiny change. This aligns with DORA metrics showing that high-performing teams work in small batches with fast feedback loops. Prerequisites: Product Discovery Must Come First "Without Dave Farley, this framework would be totally different. I think he does everything right, basically. With this framework, I want to stand on the shoulders of giants and work on top of what has already been done."   AAID explicitly requires product discovery and specification phases before AI-assisted coding begins. This is based on Dave Farley's product journey model, which shows how products move from idea to production. AAID starts at the "executable specifications" stage—it requires input specifications from prior discovery work. This separates specification creation (which Dawid is addressing in a separate "Dream Encoder" framework) from code execution. The prerequisite isn't arbitrary; it acknowledges that AI-assisted implementation works best when the problem is well-defined. This "standing on shoulders of giants" approach means AAID doesn't try to reinvent software engineering—it leverages decades of proven practices from TDD pioneers, BDD creators, and continuous delivery experts. What's Wrong with Other AI Frameworks "When the AI decides to check the box [in task lists], that means this is the definition of done. But how is the AI taking that decision? It's totally ad hoc. It's like going back to the 1980s: 'I wrote the code, I'm done.' But what does that mean? Nobody has any idea."   Dawid is critical of current AI frameworks like SpecKit, pointing out fundamental flaws. They start with AI first and try to add structure later (backwards approach). They use task lists with checkboxes where AI decides when something is "done"—but without clear criteria, this becomes ad hoc decision-making reminiscent of 1980s development practices. These frameworks "vibecode the specs," not realizing there's a structured taxonomy to specifications that BDD already solved. Most concerning, some have removed testing as a "feature," treating it as optional. Dawid sees these frameworks as over-engineered, process-centric rather than developer-centric, often created by people who may not develop software themselves. AAID, in contrast, is built by a practicing developer solving real problems daily. Getting Started: Learn Fundamentals First "The first thing developers should do is learn the fundamentals. They should skip AI altogether and learn about BDD and TDD, just best practices. But when you know that, then you can look into a framework, maybe like mine."   Dawid's advice for developers interested in AI-assisted coding might seem counterintuitive: start by learning fundamentals without AI. Master behavior-driven development, test-driven development, and software engineering best practices first. Only after understanding these foundations should developers explore frameworks like AAID. This isn't gatekeeping—it's recognizing that AI amplifies whatever approach developers bring. If they start with poor practices, AI will help them build unmaintainable systems faster. But if they start with solid fundamentals, AI becomes a powerful multiplier that lets them work at unprecedented speed while maintaining quality. AAID offers both a dense technical article on dev.to and a gentler game-like onboarding in the GitHub repo, meeting developers wherever they are in their journey.   About Dawid Dahl   Dawid is the creator of Augmented AI Development (AAID), a disciplined approach where developers augment their capabilities by integrating with AI, while maintaining full architectural control.

Host Rob Couture is joined by Ryan Gallucci, Kristina Keenan, and Mike Figlioli from the VFW Washington Office to discuss the Washington Post's latest coverage of veterans' benefits and the Department of Veterans Affairs. The team addresses a recent series of articles that, they argue, mischaracterize how veterans access the benefits they've earned — including claims that veterans are "flooding the system" or abusing disability compensation.   They provide context on how accredited service officers, like those in the VFW's Benefits Delivery at Discharge (BDD) program, actually help veterans navigate complex VA processes with integrity and professionalism. The group also discusses VFW's official response to the Post's reporting, how previous stories have shaped public perception, and why transparency and advocacy remain vital as Veterans Day approaches.

Karim Harbott: Why System Design Beats Individual Coaching Every Time Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "You can't change people, but you can change the system. Change the environment, not the people." - Karim Harbott   Karim was coaching a distributed team that was struggling with defects appearing constantly during sprints. The developers and testers were at different sites, and communication seemed fractured. But Karim knew from experience that when teams are underperforming, the problem usually isn't the people—it's the system they're working in. He stepped back to examine the broader context, implementing behavior-driven development(BDD) and specification by example to improve clarity through BDD scenarios.  But the defects persisted.  Then, almost by accident, Karim discovered the root cause: the developers and testers were employed by different companies. They had competing interests, different incentives, and fundamentally misaligned goals. No amount of coaching the individuals would fix a structural problem like that.  It took months, but eventually the system changed—developers and testers were reorganized into unified teams from the same organization. Suddenly, the defects dropped dramatically. As Jocko Willink writes in Extreme Ownership, when something isn't working, look at the system first. Karim's experience proves that sometimes the most compassionate thing you can do is stop trying to fix people and start fixing the environment they work in.   Self-reflection Question: When your team struggles, do you look at the people or at the system they're embedded in? Featured Book of the Week: Scaling Lean and Agile Development by Craig Larman and Bas Vodde "This book was absolute gold. The way it is written, and the tools they talk about went beyond what I was talking about back then. They introduced many concepts that I now use." - Karim Harbott   Karim discovered Scaling Lean and Agile Development by accident, but it resonated with him immediately. The concepts Craig Larman and Bas Vodde introduced—particularly around LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum)—went far beyond the basics Karim had been working with. The book opened his eyes to system-level thinking at scale, showing how to maintain agility even as organizations grow.  It's packed with practical tools and frameworks that Karim still uses today. For anyone working beyond a single team, this book provides the depth and nuance that most scaling frameworks gloss over. Also worth reading: User Stories Applied by Mike Cohn, another foundational text that shaped Karim's approach to working with teams.   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]
