Great catching up with @antonymarcano.bsky.social at The Rake in Borough Market tonight. Great conversation and some spiffy guest ales. Opinion was divided on the lemony one.

Yes, that's the obvious part. The issues are:

1. Most teams don't do that well without AI, so more lower quality code is made faster.

2. And it only benefits an org if, once you commit/push your code, it flows with ease to production. If there's bottlenecks, it harms the org.

Haha! Well, it doesn't come across like that to me. It seems he's very passionate about people getting the benefits of AI assisted coding, understands the pitfalls and limitations and is trying to help people understand them too.

It's not stopping me... There's no reason why it can't be the way you described your others too, but while using AI is treated as more important than maintainable code and throughput of real value (which seems to be the case for many) - what's the most likely outcome?

Think about it...

Yes, this is very true. I think a big problem is people communicate their needs in terms of a solution they have in mind. Behind that is at least an instinct of the problem to solve. If we ask what that problem is, we can help people find that path.

What Did This Viral Agile Diagram’s Story Miss Out?

Why the story of the viral skateboard-to-car, agile in a nutshell, image needs an unhappy ending...

You’ve probably seen Henrik Kniberg's skateboard-to-car sketch a thousand times. But, not with this version of the story behind it...

I've been living over on LinkedIn all this time and forgot that BlueSky was a thing...

Going to see what it's like here... And if anyone is listening.

It feels odd to me when people say they code solo by default, and only pair when it makes sense.

My default is to pair, and only code solo when that makes sense...
which is generally exploring, when it's about discovery of new ways rather than executing on one of them. But only for short periods.

Hello! Late to the party...
