[Dev]olution

Drowning in a sea of tools and productivity hacks that don’t deliver? You’re not alone. 

I’m Nicky Pike. And it’s time for a reset.

[Dev]olution is here to help you get back to what matters: creating, solving, and making an impact. No trend chasing, just asking better questions.

We explore the real systems and processes that help developers work smarter, not harder. No buzzwords, just practical strategies to streamline your workflow, avoid bottlenecks, and make the most of your development environment.

Whether you’re working solo or with a team, you’ll get an honest look at what’s working in dev productivity and what’s happening next in the industry.

Get ready to join the [Dev]olution.

Nicky Pike (00:00):
We're watching the emergence of the developer industrial complex that promises salvation through endless tools. But instead of clarity, we're drowning in chaos.

I'm Nicky Pike, and the most effective voices? They're not the ones making noise. While the loudest voices debate whether AI will replace us or save us all, there's a whole population practicing Gray Man theory. They're quietly finding their way forward and solving real problems.

Nicky Pike (00:26):
How do we harness AI as a true partner without losing the human judgment that defines quality? How do platform teams create genuine enablement without becoming bottlenecks? What does developer productivity actually mean beyond the buzzwords?

Every two weeks, Devolution speaks for the Gray Man developer, the ones who understand that real revolution occurs away from the spotlight. Welcome to the Devolution.
