Kent Beck's tale is a thrilling ride through the riveting world of... cognitive decline? 🤔 Apparently, his brain needed an exoskeleton because aging is hard, folks. But don't worry, the magic of augmented coding is here to save him from the existential crisis of using a computer. 💻✨

I confess to have never written a single line of code using AI (and only used it for proofreading a couple of times).
Having read what Kent Beck has written regarding his experience with “augmented coding” using the “genie” there’s an interesting case to be made.
When your brain becomes less willing to put up with the boilerplatey part of coding but you still very much love doing it maybe AI will help bring the joy back.

@kentbeck in „Tidy First?“
„Es ist vernünftig, sich unsicher zu fühlen, wenn man unsicher arbeitet. Aber es ist vor allem viel besser, sich beim unsicheren Arbeiten auch unsicher zu fühlen, anstatt sich unbekümmert und ahnungslos völlig sicher zu fühlen.“

“What’s a leader to do, if you can’t “hold them accountable”? As I said above, be a person. Tell stories. Listen, empathetically but critically. Set an example. Read the room. Create skin-in-the-game situations, not by giving cash (another distorting move) but by making sure, for example, that folks play the game they’re writing or their kids do or their parents do.”

🎂 Auguri a #KentBeck, nato il #31marzo 1961, creatore della metodologia di sviluppo del software Extreme Programming (insieme a Ward Cunningham e Ron Jeffries) e del test driven development.
È stato uno dei firmatari originali del Manifesto Agile e pioniere dei design pattern e dell'applicazione commerciale di Smalltalk. Assieme a Ward Cunningham ha proposto le carte di Class Responsibility Collaboration, mentre con Erich Gamma ha creato il principale framework di unit testing per Java, JUnit. -
Wow... this instructor thinks #Refactoring was written by #KentBeck... might explain why his description of refactoring was off -- I'm sceptical he actually read it.

Ah, Martin Fowler strikes again with his latest installment of "Words, Words, and More Words" 🤯. This time, he treats us to an endless stream of #buzzwords and self-promotion, while somehow managing to turn a conversation with Kent Beck into a 30-minute #snoozefest 💤. Apparently, #AI is the new black, but Fowler's still wearing last season's #jargon. 👔🔄

Getting the genie (as @kentbeck calls it) to perform #TDD (Test-Driven Development) is... interesting.

Massive love out to @kentbeck . You are an inspiration and so much of what I believe about #programming comes from your work.

Great refactoring quote: "First make the change easy, then make the easy change." - Kent Beck.

@trondhjort @marick @newcrafts @kentbeck I'm just wondering if we could use Ward's Federated Wiki for this: possibly writing this book together? #FedWiki #FederatedWiki @k9ox
We have some experience with supporting collective writing of books.

We're excited to announce the schedule and speakers (including @grimalkina and @kentbeck) for the upcoming Bridges Summit basecamp event on August 28th, 2024, organized by CHISEL at University of Victoria. Bridges Summit is a new kind of virtual unconference that bridges research and industry communities with a collaborative open source initiative to reframe “Developer Productivity”.

Our #gdcr #gdcr2024 crew is deep in it, implementing Conway's Game of Life with the "test-driven development as if you meant it" constraint. It's the 11th annual Global Day of Coderetreat and our ~11th time hosting it in #Pittsburgh.
The Coderetreat workshop teaches #TDD and pair programming under the premise of @kentbeck's four rules of simple design.

"All software design is preparation for change. #TidyFirst“

Just finished reading #TidyFirst by @kentbeck. I was pleasantly surprised by its depth. Not that I expected something else by Kent, but because it is a quite thin book with an apparent focus on practically improving code.
My takeaways are the realization that options are more worth in uncertain times, and that the cost of software is dominated by the amount of coupling.
Well worth reading!

The biggest thing to remember from @kentbeck Tidy First? is
cost(software) ~= coupling
When reviewing code, designing an architecture or how teams interact, the level of coupling is now an even more important criteria in any decision than before.

I've just purchased my copy of @kentbeck's "Tidy First?: A Personal Exercise in Empirical Software Design." Opted for the physical version, and it's expected to arrive in a couple of weeks. I'm really looking forward to it! 📚😃

and we used a lot #liberatingStructures along the way which makes it always more engaging and fun.
