NAME: Dave Mosher

DESIGNATION: Agent 007

ALIASES: davemo, dmosher, “mowsh”

STATUS: Agent 007 is a Principal Consultant at Test Double. Agent 007 is working on a migration of an app from perl and jQuery to nodejs and react.

LAST TRANSMISSION: Agent 007 sent along the following notes from an assignment at Shutterstock:

  • Currently enjoying exploring React and Redux; after spending a bunch of years in Backbone (2) and Angular (2) it’s refreshing to come to app development in React/Redux and experience a different paradigm.
  • The redux documentation is fantastic: http://redux.js.org/index.html
  • Dan Abramov’s intro series on egghead.io is also fantastic: https://egghead.io/courses/fundamentals-of-redux-course-from-dan-abramov-bd5cc867

BACKGROUND: Agent 007 is married with two children, and is also a musician (plays piano, drums, guitar, and bass).

Despite a history of pirating software (Photoshop, Blender, 3DS Max, Adobe Premiere), it was clear upon recruitment Agent 007 was engaging in this activity in order to quench his thirst for knowledge. Agent 007 started as a tinkerer and designer doing traditional print-design and page layout. He got his first computer in 1996 right when the internet hit mainstream and spent every hour he could tweaking HTML, JS, and CSS to create GeoCities webpages with animated GIFS.

Agent 007 is an avid gamer. His favorite video games are Heroes of the Storm, The Witness, and Ori and the Blind Forest. His favorite board games are Keyflower, Carcassonne, Agricola, and Dominion.

Agent 007 loves music. His favorite bands are Ratatat, Hans Zimmer, Deadmau5, Green Day, and Beethoven.

What is legacy software in the age of AI?

Software becomes legacy by succeeding long enough to accumulate the weight of every decision and shortcut made along the way. Users feel it as friction. Engineers feel their momentum slip. The business watches costs climb. AI changes two of those. The third may be getting worse.

In the age of AI we’re in this together

The hardest part of the AI shift for developers isn't the tooling—it's the identity reassessment underneath it. Senior Software Consultant River Lynn Bailey shares what's helped her work through that fear and emerge on the other side.

Organizational observability: The AI alignment problem starts upstream

Most agent misalignment doesn't start in the model. It starts upstream, in organizations that haven't made their own intent visible enough to navigate.
