Every software team should strive for excellence in building security into their application and infrastructure. Within Thoughtworks, we have long sought accessible approaches to threat modeling. At its heart, threat modeling is a risk-based approach to designing secure systems by identifying threats continually and developing mitigations intentionally. We believe effective threat modeling should start simple

At goto copenhagen last year, my friend James Lewis interviewed me and Goto have just released the video. I talk about when I learned about iterative design from Kent Beck, the dangers of product owners interfering with business-developer communication, and writing the agile manifesto. During this he specifically asked about my essay Is Design Dead.

In the past few weeks, multiple “autonomous background coding agents” have been released. Supervised coding agents: Interactive chat agents that are driven and steered by a developer. Create code locally, in the IDE. Tool examples: GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Cursor, Cline, Roo Code, Claude Code, Aider, Goose, … Autonomous background coding agents: Headless agents that you

Writing a sophisticated computer program often requires a lot of detailed knowledge. If we do this in Java, we need to know the syntax of the language, the wide range of libraries available to assist us in the work, the various tools required to verify and build our programs. If we do this in Python

Like most loudmouths in this field, I’ve been paying a lot of attention to the role that generative AI systems may play in software development. I think the appearance of LLMs will change software development to a similar degree as the change from assembler to the first high-level programming languages. The further development of languages
