About Bobby Scales

Bobby Scales is the Engineering Excellence Manager at southplanet, a role Bobby created, proposed, and approved in a single quarter. Before that, Bobby spent time as a senior engineer, which is where the instincts come from.

Bobby believes that great engineering organizations are not built by engineers. They are built by the people who tell engineers what great looks like. This blog exists so that more people can be told.

Bobby stays on the leading edge by experimenting with every trend on the Thoughtworks Technology Radar. His current experiments include AI workflows, AI agents, AI tooling, agentic AI, AI-assisted code review, AI pair programming, AI-generated documentation, AI copilots, AI orchestration, multi-agent AI systems, AI governance frameworks, AI-native development, and prompt engineering. He has a broad view of the landscape.
