  1. The role of play in software design. tidyfirst.substack.com/p/desig

    It's fun to be out of "crank out another chapter" mode & be working on the next book. #TidyFirst

  2. Watching World Cup games reminds me how horrible it has become to watch American football & basketball games. The long commercial breaks ruin the flow of the game, live or watching remotely. #LetThemPlay

  3. When I finish a new chapter of Tidy First? I want to send it to paid subscribers that moment. Thank goodness SubStack has a "post later" option. #TidyFirst

  4. This is a fantastic talk by Kent Beck. And so important. What he is saying here, using his perspective from Extreme Programming (XP), basically sums up all my talks from the last few years. His distinction between deserts and forests is the same as bureaucracy and sociotechnical/democratic systems, respectively, and the parallel universes are the unmixable world views that people carry around. No data or good arguments can make people switch from one to the other. It's futile to try, IMHO. Only by being aware of what they are and how different they make you see the world can a conscious choice be made to move from one to the other.

    <thinking hat>
    You can't extrapolate from a closed system to an open one, but you can reduce an open system to a closed one. Or, put it in Beck's terms, you cannot grasp a forest when all you know is the desert, but you can imagine how a forest can become a desert. 😉

  9. Mir gefällt dieser Post von Kent Beck sehr gut. Die Idee, die #Teamentwicklung (in diesem Fall hin zu guten Praktiken) durch #Attraktoren zu beschreiben, gefällt mir.

  10. Today I started reading „Tidy First?” by Kent Beck. Short book with quick overview of possible non-breaking code cleanups (as opposed to Martin Fowler’s refactoring, I guess). I’m at about ~50% of its length now and can recommend this as something worth the time (given that it may take about 2 hours to read if you don't compulsively take notes during reading as I do).

  11. "Methodologies is often interpreted to mean -a set of rules to follow that guarantee success-. Methodologies don’t work like programs. People aren’t computers. Every team does XP differently…” - Kent Beck in XP Explained“

  12. Is #Agile dead - or evolving for #AI collaboration?

    ⇨ Steve Jones (Capgemini) argues that human-centric principles don’t align with AI-native development.

    ⇨ Kent Beck suggests “augmented coding,” while AWS proposes shifting from sprint planning to Intent Design.

    ⇨ The reality? Forrester reports that 95% of organizations still rely on Agile.

    So - does AI make the Agile Manifesto obsolete, or is Agile simply evolving for the agentic era?

  17. Meet our Staff engineering panel members! First up, Toni Rib 👏

    She is a Senior Software Infrastructure Engineer at Skydio and has past experience with being a Staff engineer. In the words of Kent Beck "Toni is that special kind of engineer who sees an important problem & goes after it, whether others see it (yet) or not."
