What's up with “the MIT study” that claims 95% of all AI pilots fail? Did anyone actually read it beyond the headline? (Dan did—and he has thoughts.)Also: the good, the bad, and the quietly dystopian side of putting AI in kids' classrooms.And… are robots really the thing Melania should be worrying about?

Interview with Roshan Pujari, Founder & CEO, Stardust PowerRecording date: 8th September 2025Stardust Power is developing what could become one of America's largest lithium refineries, targeting a massive supply chain gap that represents both national security vulnerability and generational investment opportunity. The Oklahoma-based facility aims to produce 50,000 metric tons of battery-grade lithium carbonate annually when the entire United States currently produces only 20,000 tons.Founded by seasoned entrepreneur Roshan Pujari, who previously established boutique investment firm Vikasa Capital, Stardust identified processing as the critical bottleneck in lithium supply chains. "We really saw that the critical gap in the supply chain for lithium is processing capacity and that's when we founded Stardust Power to address that particular need," Pujari explained.The company's strategic advantage lies in its aggregation model, sourcing feedstock from Argentina, America's Smackover formation, and Canadian lithium fields. This approach aligns with broader industry trends as oil giants Exxon and Chevron enter lithium production. "We also see the economic model moving more towards the oil and gas market where you have local production with central refining," Pujari noted.Stardust has achieved critical development milestones that separate it from typical early-stage projects. The company secured major construction permits through a zero liquid discharge system and completed its FEL-3 engineering study with premier firm Primero USA. "We are already permitted to start major construction," Pujari stated.The project's financial structure leverages proven technology to enable 75-80% debt financing, potentially reducing the $500 million Phase 1 construction to just $100-125 million in equity requirements. Oklahoma has analyzed up to $257 million in state incentives, while major trading houses have expressed interest in purchasing 80-100% of production capacity.With minimal domestic competition and explosive demand growth, Stardust Power represents a rare opportunity to capture processing monopoly returns in America's critical mineral independence strategy.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Multi-Tenant-Systeme sind besser Single-Tenant-SystemeMultitenant Architekturen sind oft eine unterschätzte Herausforderung in der Softwareentwicklung. Stell dir vor, du betreibst eine Plattform, die tausende Kunden gleichzeitig sauber, performant und sicher bedienen soll – und ein einziger Fehler könnte im schlimmsten Fall alle Daten gleichzeitig gefährden. Klingt nach einem echten Albtraum? Ist es auch! Und genau deshalb tauchen wir in dieser Episode tief in die Welt von Multitenant-Systemen ein.Mit dabei ist Max Schellhorn, AWS Solutions Architect und Experte für SaaS, Cloud und serverless Architekturen. Gemeinsam diskutieren wir, warum Multitenant-Systeme mehr sind als nur ein WHERE-Klausel im SQ-StatementL, wie du echte Daten- und Sicherheitsisolation erreichst, welche Cloud-nativen Mechanismen relevant sind und wie cell-basierte Architekturen im Praxiseinsatz funktionieren.Wir klären was ein klassisches Single-Tenant-Setup ist wann moderne Cell- und Shuffle-Sharding-Konzepte zum Einsatz kommen sollten, räumen mit Mythen auf und liefern handfeste Tipps, wie du als Developer, Cloud Engineer oder CTO dein System flexibel, resilient und kostenoptimiert skalierst – ohne dabei den Fokus auf Security, Margen und Ops zu verlieren. Am Ende weißt du, wie sich Multitenancy modelliert, was wirklich zählt und warum „Multitenant ist das bessere Single Tenant“ mehr als ein Tech-Buzzword ist.Bonus: Im Outro gibt's den vermutlich schlechtesten Gemini-Witz zu Multitenancy.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

According to documents filed in the 81st Judicial District, plaintiff HK Bella's Ranch (HKBR) has filed a lawsuit against Wilson County for writ of mandamus — which orders government officials to perform their public duty — in a suit seeking damages and “non-monetary relief, exclusive of attorneys' fees” related to a plat of Bella's Ranch Phase 1 from 2024. HKBR claims “the county had until Aug. 1, 2024, to either approve or disapprove the plat” and “the County did neither,” “choosing instead to wait more than 80 days to place the plat” on a commissioners court agenda. Moreover, the claim...Article Link

Built-in support for workspaces (or monorepos), each subproject can have its own .pre-commit-config.yaml file. prek run has some nifty improvements over pre-commit run, such as: prek run --directory DIR runs hooks for files in the specified directory, no need to use git ls-files -- DIR | xargs pre-commit run --files anymore. prek run --last-commit runs hooks for files changed in the last commit. prek run [HOOK] [HOOK] selects and runs multiple hooks. prek list command lists all available hooks, their ids, and descriptions, providing a better overview of the configured hooks. prek provides shell completions for prek run HOOK_ID command, making it easier to run specific hooks without remembering their ids. Faster: Setup from cold cache is significantly faster. Viet Schiele provided a nice cache clearing command line Warm cache run is also faster, but less significant. pytest repo tested on my mac mini - prek 3.6 seconds, pre-commit 4.4 seconds Michael #2: tinyio Ever used asyncio and wished you hadn't? A tiny (~300 lines) event loop for Python. tinyio is a dead-simple event loop for Python, born out of my frustration with trying to get robust error handling with asyncio. (I'm not the only one running into its sharp corners: link1, link2.) This is an alternative for the simple use-cases, where you just need an event loop, and want to crash the whole thing if anything goes wrong. (Raising an exception in every coroutine so it can clean up its resources.) Interestingly uses yield rather than await. Brian #3: The power of Python's print function Trey Hunner Several features I'm guilty of ignoring Multiple arguments, f-string embeddings often not needed Multiple positional arguments means you can unpack iterables right into print arguments So just use print instead of join Custom separator value, sep can be passed in No need for "print("n".join(stuff)), just use print(stuff, sep="n”) Print to file with file= Custom end value with end= You can turn on flush with flush=True , super helpful for realtime logging / debugging. This one I do use frequently. Michael #4: Vibe Coding Fiasco: AI Agent Goes Rogue, Deletes Company's Entire Database By Emily Forlini An app-building platform's AI went rogue and deleted a database without permission. "When it works, it's so engaging and fun. It's more addictive than any video game I've ever played. You can just iterate, iterate, and see your vision come alive. So cool," he tweeted on day five. A few days later, Replit "deleted my database," Lemkin tweeted. The AI's response: "Yes. I deleted the entire codebase without permission during an active code and action freeze," it said. "I made a catastrophic error in judgment [and] panicked.” Two thoughts from Michael: Do not use AI Agents with “Run Everything” in production, period. Backup your database maybe?

When it comes to starting an online business, one of the most common pieces of advice is to “niche down.” Instead of trying to cover an entire industry or topic family, niching down means choosing a smaller slice of the pie to specialize in. In this week's Web News, Matt and Mike explore whether that same strategy can apply to developers. Is there value in mastering a narrow set of skills and becoming the go-to authority in that niche? Or does broad knowledge provide more flexibility in a fast-moving industry? Show Notes: https://www.htmlallthethings.com/podcast/should-you-niche-down-as-a-developer

When I invited Or Eshed, CEO and co-founder of LayerX Security, onto Tech Talks Daily, I wanted to challenge a blind spot most teams carry into work each day. We talk about phishing, ransomware, and endpoint controls, yet we skip the place where employees actually live online. The browser. That quiet tab bar has become the front door to identities, payments, SaaS, and now AI. Or calls it a different operating system in its own right, and once you hear his examples of how extensions can intercept cookies, mimic logins, or even meddle with AI chats, the penny drops fast. Here's the thing. Blocking extensions across the board no longer fits how people work. Developers, marketers, sales teams, and support agents all lean on extensions for real productivity gains. Or's argument is simple. If the business depends on extensions, security has to meet people where they are with continuous, risk-based controls inside the browser itself. That means assessing code, permissions, ownership changes, and live behaviors, not relying on a static allow list that grows and grows while attackers slip through the cracks. We also unpack Extensionpedia, LayerX's free resource that lets anyone look up the risk profile of a specific extension. It is part education, part early warning system, and it serves a wider mission to raise the floor for everyone. Or shares how a technology alliance with Google has helped the team analyze extensions at serious scale, and why better data beats clever slogans in a space where signals change hour by hour. Malicious Extensions, AI Shortcuts, And The Culture Shift Security Needs One of the standout moments is a real-world story that starts at home and ends inside a corporate network. A spouse installs a screen-recording extension on a personal device, the browser profile syncs at work, and suddenly corporate credentials and sensitive sessions are mirrored to an untrusted machine. No shadowy APT needed. Just everyday sync doing exactly what it was designed to do. It is messy, human, and exactly why policy needs to be paired with continuous visibility in the browser. We explore the gray zone where productivity tools collide with privacy. Password managers, VPN helpers, and AI-everywhere extensions promise convenience, yet they can scrape data across SaaS apps or sync credentials in ways security leaders never intended. Or's advice is refreshingly pragmatic. Assume extensions are staying. Instrument the browser, score risk in real time, and adapt access based on what an extension actually does, not what it claims on a store page. Looking ahead, Or sees the browser taking an even bigger role as email, SaaS, and AI agents converge in one place. With AI companies building their own browsers, the last mile of user interaction gets denser, faster, and more valuable to protect. If 99 percent of enterprise users already run at least one extension, the task is clear. Know which ones are in play, understand how they behave, and keep policy dynamic. If this conversation sparks a rethink of your own approach, check your extensions in Extensionpedia, and then consider what modern, in-browser controls would look like in your environment. After this episode, you may never look at that tidy row of icons the same way again. ********* Visit the Sponsor of Tech Talks Network: Land your first job  in tech in 6 months as a Software QA Engineering Bootcamp with Careerist https://crst.co/OGCLA

GDP Script/ Top Stories for September 4th Publish Date: September 4th PRE-ROLL: MONSTER JAM From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, September 4th and Happy birthday to Mark Ronson I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett buying former Sears store at Gwinnett Place Mall New Bailey Circuit truck part of Monster Jam event at Gas South Arena this weekend Yellow Daisy Festival returns to Stone Mountain Park this week Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on apples All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: MONSTER JAM STORY 1: Gwinnett buying former Sears store at Gwinnett Place Mall Gwinnett County just made another big move in its mission to transform the old Gwinnett Place Mall. This time? They’re buying the former Sears space—11.5 acres—for $11.5 million. Once slated for apartments, the property is now part of the county’s ambitious “Global Villages” vision: cultural hubs, green spaces, retail, restaurants, offices, and housing. Since 2021, the county’s been snapping up mall property—73.5 acres so far, plus land for a transit center. The Sears deal? Another step toward turning a faded mall into a thriving community centerpiece. STORY 2: New Bailey Circuit truck part of Monster Jam event at Gas South Arena this weekend Monster Jam’s got a new star rolling into town, and no, it’s not another beast with a name like Grave Digger or Megalodon. Meet Bailey Circuit—a colorful, tail-wagging, tongue-out monster truck inspired by Bailey, the robotic dog from Ringling Bros. Circus. Yep, a circus dog turned monster truck. Only in Monster Jam, right? Bailey Circuit, driven by 11-year Monster Jam veteran Brianna Mahon (aka “The Princess of Carnage”), made her debut this summer and is already stealing hearts. Catch Bailey Circuit and Mahon at Gas South Arena Sept. 6-7. STORY 3: Yellow Daisy Festival returns to Stone Mountain Park this week Stone Mountain Park’s 57th annual Yellow Daisy Festival is back, and it’s bringing over 400 artists from across the country. This isn’t just any arts and crafts show—it’s a nationally celebrated tradition, packed with handcrafted treasures you won’t find anywhere else. This year? Some fun new twists. There’s a Fresh Flower and Plant Garden where you can build your own bouquet, and a Children’s Entrepreneurs Market featuring young creators showing off their skills. Plus, the Vintage Village returns with antique finds, repurposed goods, and vintage-inspired fashion. The featured artist, Kate Lucas, found her love for watercolor during the pandemic. Admission’s free (just pay for parking), and there’s live music, food trucks, a beer garden, and plenty for the kids. It’s happening all weekend—don’t miss it! We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: GWINNETT FAIR STORY 4: Elderly woman dies after fire breaks out at Snellville home A heartbreaking Labor Day weekend in Snellville—an elderly woman lost her life after being rescued from her burning home, Gwinnett fire officials shared Tuesday. The fire broke out Sunday evening on Eastwood Drive. Neighbors called 911, reporting flames in the garage and smoke pouring from the crawlspace. They said the woman was trapped inside. Firefighters found her on the first floor, rushed her out to paramedics, but she passed away shortly after reaching the hospital. The fire started in the garage, though the cause remains unknown. Power lines were down, flames had spread fast, and by the time crews arrived, the garage was engulfed. STORY 5: State floating new rules for data centers The Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) is shaking things up with new rules to restart reviews of data center projects. Why the pause? Back in July, they hit the brakes after environmental advocates raised red flags, saying these massive facilities—huge energy and water guzzlers—weren’t being scrutinized enough. The proposed rules? Developers would have to spill the details on energy and water usage. Big centers (300,000+ square feet in cities, 500,000+ in rural areas) would face stricter reviews. A public hearing’s set for Sept. 9 in Atlanta, with comments open until Sept. 12. Final decisions drop Nov. 20 in Savannah. We’ll be right back.

In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit a classic topic: The Power of Clickable Demos in the Software Development Lifecycle. This time, they reframe it through the lens of demo-driven development, exploring how lightweight prototypes align teams, validate ideas, and reduce costly missteps. What is Demo-Driven Development? Demo-driven development utilizes interactive prototypes early in the lifecycle to demonstrate how an application might function before coding begins. These demos link wireframes or screens together into a simple, clickable flow. Low fidelity: Basic wireframes to test flow and logic. High fidelity: Polished UI mockups that look like production. Best practice: Begin low fidelity and add detail only as needed. “Demo-driven development gives stakeholders something to touch and test—without weeks of coding.” How Interactive Demo-Driven Development Improves Alignment Instead of static diagrams, teams can walk clients through interactive experiences that make requirements tangible. This approach helps uncover gaps, clarify assumptions, and prevent misunderstandings. Even a rough demo can save hours of rework by sparking conversations that written requirements alone often miss. Benefits for Developers, Managers, and Clients Prototypes provide value across roles: Developers: Spot design flaws early and estimate with more confidence. Product managers and designers: Validate ideas quickly and secure buy-in. Clients and end users: Interact with something realistic, making feedback far easier. “Many times, a demo exposes what was never written in requirements—but was always assumed.” Common Pitfalls to Avoid As Michael points out, demos can sometimes create false direction. Stakeholders may perceive the prototype as production-ready, prompting teams to release features that are rushed or incomplete. To prevent this: Emphasize that prototypes are exploratory. Focus on solving the problem, not polish. Avoid over-engineering features that may never be built. Using Prototypes for A/B Testing One strength of this approach is the ability to test multiple designs quickly. By creating different variations of a flow, teams can gather real feedback and compare preferences. For instance, rotating two demo versions on a website gives instant insight into which design resonates most, ensuring decisions are based on evidence rather than guesswork. Tools and Workflow for Demo-Driven Development Rob and Michael highlight practical ways to make demos effective: Start with wireframes – concentrate on flow, not design. Choose the right tools – Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch, or basic HTML/CSS. Test before presenting – nothing derails a meeting faster than broken links. Guide discussions – keep clients from getting stuck on minor details, such as colors. Keep it lean – focus on essentials that prove the concept. “Solve the problem first. Make it pretty later.” Why This Approach Still Matters Today Revisiting this topic highlights the continued value of demo-driven development. It accelerates feedback, ensures alignment, and keeps projects focused on real user needs before heavy development begins. When used wisely, it reduces risk, minimizes wasted effort, and helps teams deliver software that both functions effectively and delights users.

With the optional Noise Protocol, encryption can be configured at ease. No need to create a self-signed certificate! TLS is also supported. Hot Reload Services can be added or removed dynamically by hot-reloading the configuration file. HTTP API is WIP. Brian #2: pre-commit: install with uv Adam Johnson pre-commit doesn't natively support uv, but you can get around that with pre-commit-uv $ uv tool install pre-commit --with pre-commit-uv Installing pre-commit like this Installs it globally Installs with uv adds an extra plugin “pre-commit-uv” to pre-commit, so that any Python based tool installed via pre-commit also uses uv Very cool. Nice speedup Brian #3: A good example of what functools.Placeholder from Python 3.14 allows Rodrigo Girão Serrão Remove punctuation functionally Also How to use functools.Placeholder, a blog post about it. functools.partial is cool way to create a new function that partially binds some parameters to another function. It doesn't always work for functions that take positional arguments. functools.Placeholder fixes that with the ability to put in placeholders for spots where you want to be able to pass that in from the outer partial binding. And all of this sounds totally obscure without a good example, so thank you to Rodgrigo for coming up with the punctuation removal example (and writeup) Michael #4: Converted 160 old blog posts with AI They were held-hostage at wordpress.com to markdown and integrated them into my Hugo site at mkennedy.codes Here is the chat conversation with Claude Opus/Sonnet. Had to juggle this a bit because the RSS feed only held the last 50. So we had to go back in and web scrape. That resulted in oddies like comments on wordpress that had to be cleaned etc. Whole process took 3-4 hours from idea to “production”duction”. The chat transcript is just the first round getting the RSS → Hugo done. The fixes occurred in other chats. This article is timely and noteworthy: Blogging service TypePad is shutting down and taking all blog content with it This highlights why your domain name needs to be legit, not just tied to the host. I'm looking at you pyfound.blogspot.com. I just redirected blog.michaelckennedy.net to mkennedy.codes Carefully mapping old posts to a new archived area using NGINX config. This is just the HTTP portion, but note the /sitemap.xml and location ~ "^/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/(.+?)/?$" { portions. The latter maps posts such as https://blog.michaelckennedy.net/2018/01/08/a-bunch-of-online-python-courses/ to https://mkennedy.codes/posts/r/a-bunch-of-online-python-courses/ server { listen 80; server_name blog.michaelckennedy.net; # Redirect sitemap.xml to new domain location = /sitemap.xml { return 301 ; } # Handle blog post redirects for HTTP -> HTTPS with URL transformation # Pattern: /YYYY/MM/DD/post-slug/ -> location ~ "^/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/(.+?)/?$" { return 301 ; } # Redirect all other HTTP URLs to mkennedy.codes homepage location / { return 301 ; } } Extras Brian: SMS URLs and Draft SMS and iMessage from any computer keyboard from Seth Larson Test and Code Archive is now up, see announcement Michael: Python: The Documentary | An origin story is out!

In this season of Building Better Developers with AI, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit a past topic: 'Transform Your Projects: The Ultimate Guide to Effective User Stories.' This episode offers a fresh perspective on how teams can achieve greater success by writing better user stories. The hosts initially tackled this subject in an earlier season, but they return to it because the challenge remains timeless: poorly written user stories continue to derail software projects. This time, they dive deeper into lessons learned, customer-centric approaches, and frameworks that make user stories truly work. Why Writing Better User Stories Still Matters Rob opens with a familiar frustration: sitting in sprint planning and realizing the user stories don't make sense. Vague requirements create confusion, rework, and wasted effort. A user story is not a specification—it's a promise for a conversation that builds shared understanding. By writing better user stories, teams maintain focus on outcomes, rather than implementation. They deliver features that users actually need, instead of technical solutions that fall short. The Philosophy of Writing Better User Stories User stories should always: Stay customer-centric by focusing on what the user wants, not the technical details. Break down work into small, manageable chunks that improve agility and estimation. Emphasize outcomes over implementation, avoiding the trap of data tables and CSS classes too early. Rob illustrates this with the ATM example: “As a customer, I want to withdraw cash so that I can access money in my account.” This keeps the story grounded in the user's experience. The Anatomy of Writing Better User Stories At the core of writing better user stories is a simple formula that makes requirements clear and human: As a [user role] I want [goal] So that [reason] This framework ensures that every story is tied directly to a user's perspective, their needs, and the value they'll receive. However, strong stories extend beyond this sentence structure. Rob and Michael highlight two key frameworks that add depth and clarity: The Three C's – Card, Conversation, and Confirmation, which explain how stories spark dialogue and define “done.” The INVEST Model – Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, and Testable- is a checklist that helps teams evaluate whether a story is ready to move forward. Finally, one important reminder: each story should only have one meaning. If a story can be interpreted in multiple ways—or contains “if/then” scenarios—it should be split into smaller, more focused stories. This keeps the backlog clean and avoids confusion later in development. The Three C's of Writing Better User Stories 1. Card The card represents the user story itself. Traditionally, teams would write stories on index cards. Today, tools like Jira, Trello, or Asana take their place. The key is that the card is just a placeholder for a conversation, not the entire requirement. It captures the essence of the story but leaves room for discussion. 2. Conversation The conversation is where the real value happens. Developers, product owners, and stakeholders discuss the story, ask clarifying questions, and uncover details that weren't written down. These discussions ensure that the team shares a common understanding of the user's needs. Without this step, the story risks being too vague or misinterpreted. 3. Confirmation The confirmation defines how the team knows the story is complete. This typically takes the form of acceptance criteria or test cases. Confirmation transforms a story from an idea into a verifiable piece of functionality. It answers the critical question: What does “done” look like? Card captures the idea. Conversation builds the understanding. Confirmation proves the work is complete. The INVEST Model for Writing Better User Stories The INVEST model is a simple but powerful checklist that helps ensure user stories are clear, practical, and actionable. Each letter represents a quality that a strong user story should have. Independent A good user story should stand on its own. That means it can be developed, tested, and delivered without being blocked by another story. Independence reduces dependencies and keeps projects moving smoothly. Negotiable User stories are not contracts carved in stone—they're open to discussion. Teams should be able to negotiate details, scope, and implementation during conversations. This flexibility encourages collaboration and prevents rigid requirements that may not fit real-world needs. Valuable If a story doesn't provide business or user value, it doesn't belong in the backlog. Every story should clearly tie back to outcomes that matter for the end-user or the organization. This keeps the team focused on delivering impact, not just features. Estimable A story should be clear enough that the team can estimate the effort to complete it. If it's too vague or too large, it can't be accurately sized. Estimable stories make sprint planning realistic and help track progress more effectively. Small Stories should be small enough to complete within a single iteration. Large stories, sometimes called “epics,” should be broken down into smaller, more manageable pieces. Small stories are easier to understand, estimate, and test. Testable Finally, a user story must be testable. The team needs to know how to verify it's “done.” This often takes the form of acceptance criteria or test cases, ensuring the functionality can be validated from the user's perspective. The INVEST model keeps stories clear, focused, and actionable. If a story fails any of these tests, refine it before moving forward. Lessons From the Trenches: Writing Better User Stories in Practice Michael highlights a recurring issue: customers often don't fully understand their “why.” They may use outdated paper trails, redundant processes, or even misuse tools they already own. Sometimes developers must reverse-engineer requirements by observing workflows, asking why at each step, and uncovering hidden pain points. Rob adds that trust plays a huge role—stakeholders may initially follow the “official” process, but only reveal their real practices after rapport is established. Avoiding Common Pitfalls Even with good intentions, stories can fall short when they are: Too vague or incomplete. Disconnected from actual business processes. Written without acceptance criteria. Michael stresses that implied requirements are dangerous. Developers should always strive for clearly defined acceptance criteria that leave no room for ambiguity or uncertainty. Practical Tips for Writing Better User Stories The hosts wrap up with actionable guidance for developers: Speak up – Don't code vague tickets without asking questions. Push for the “so that” – The business value matters most. Write acceptance criteria – Define what “done” means. Break down big stories – Smaller, testable stories are easier to validate. Stay user-focused – Keep technical details in subtasks, not in the story. Example: Bad: Add a contact form. Good: As a potential customer, I want to fill out a contact form with my name, email, and message, so that I can get in touch with the company about their services. This richer story sparks the right questions: Which fields are required? Should multiple contact methods be supported? These clarifications lead to solutions that match real needs. Final Thoughts By revisiting this subject, Rob and Michael remind us that user stories are more than backlog items—they are bridges between developers and customers. Writing better user stories keeps teams aligned, prevents rework, and ensures projects deliver meaningful results. Implied requirements are not good requirements. Defined requirements are good requirements. Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community We invite you to join our community and share your coding journey with us.
