It's what managers or team leads experience. They have a team that work on the code and even if they used to know what was going on they end up doing everything second hand and they don't realise when the project is going wrong te

For sure! I had a bug that crashed our system once every 14 days or so and every coredump had a different stack trace. The "star programmer" managed to shift the bug onto me, the newbie graduate, after failing. This was a long t

It has always been the case that doing difficult things isn't impressive - it's always speed that impresses. Hence AI. On the other hand, while I notice people not being impressed, they are careful to shift difficult things off o

Some tasks may simply not be possible or not in the time available. Agile just sort of tells you that - you can see how things are going and if they're going right or not. Then you have a choice - find something to cut out or accept a

Oh definitely! :-) I just think it's like an amplification of the same old thing. It makes it easier to play that game and harder to counter it. Fred now generates 5,000 lines of horse-dung that appears to work and management are gob-

What has happened to me in those cases is that Architects lumped on a lot of extra nice to have things which would certainly have made us fail the time constraints. It was completely un-agile and I only got things done on time by demonstra

You're right - there isn't one way to do things or one way that always works. There are issues that are outside a team's control, for example, that make it an impossible struggle. If you're rigidly forced to do somethin

My evidence is that I was on a team that was not overly controlled by management and had clever people in it without any instant attitudes of rejection so they adapted to it. We produced updates bi-weekly and we had a huge backlog of stupid

Absolutely! "You're going to do agile .... and this list of features will be ready on September 20th." "Oh, feature no 32 is going to take months and we realised that users can just...." "No"

It's usually because your company doesn't fundamentally want it. You cannot have roadmaps with lists of features that you advertise to customers AND have the flexibility to decide to ignore things that turn out to be useless or d

If your company doesn't fundamentally want "agility" then it will be an exercise in futility but if you're a person who doesn't want to do useless work then you're an agile proponent fundamentally.

Management know how to keep themselves safe! They watch your AI usage and pressure you to use more. They tell you that "of course you must check the code" but of course if you do then they can start telling you your performance is

Negligence depends on what you believe to be true. If you're being told "this is possible and the AI will do it properly you don't have to worry" then it's not negligence really - on the part of the person who beli

AI empowers bullshitters but for sure they existed before. The guys who do something quickly and are gone before it starts to fall over. It often works because everyone is impressed with them and the problems that arise are seen as the fa

by t43562 6mo ago
At least part of the negligence is about the people who knowingly promote AI without also promoting knowledge of the limitations. Those who post stories about vibe-coding XXX in a week and don't bother to point out that they have no i

Servo has been on-the-go for a while though. It hasn't been a lightning speed development, it's just getting a bit more visible.

It's extremely tempting to write stuff and not bother to understand it similar to the way most of us don't decompile our binaries and look at the assembler when we write C/C++. So, should I trust an LLM as much as a C compile

by t43562 6mo ago
If you don't fully understand the code how do you know it implements your architecture exactly and without doing it in a way that has implications you hadn't thought of? As a trivial example I just found a piece of irrelevant crap

by t43562 6mo ago
It does but this is the idea that I think one has to bend or ignore the most since people always bend or ignore bits of agile. i.e. being able to print "Hello World" and not crash might make something shippable but you wouldn&#x27

Management understand it less than anyone else does.

i.e. no matter what, the answer is always AI. If it's isn't good now it will be so .... AI. Don't forget to take your soma pills if anything isn't perfect.

The reason I had for being a manager was to be able to get the work done without the idiocy I'd had to deal with earlier in my career. Up to a point this worked, but when I didn't program I started to become part of the problem an

You're fortunate on what you've spent so far. The problem is that the moment something does go wrong it can be brutal. Personally I think cars can't be considered an "investment" because they just suck up money.
144.
by t43562 7mo ago
I think the real way I've lost money is on depreciation - that's more severe than anything else that happened - even though I always buy second hand. If you're buying second hand, like it would appear from the price you quote

You can own something but still be blocked by other people who should in theory enable you but have other priorities. Another example: bugs that are not found by testers - whose fault is that - development or test? Clarity is just another w

Individual responsibility can just become a blame culture. I remember sitting near a team that worked like this - meetings with everyone trying to prove that some screw-up was actually due to someone else. In such scenarios nobody wants to

by t43562 7mo ago
Culture matters and going against yours is difficult. I think everyone tends to be unable to put themselves in the shoes of someone from another country - it is terribly tempting to use one's own "lense" to see everything. In

It probably has. It's super difficult to be truly unique in a world where billions have learned to read and write. It doesn't matter however. The people who see your work haven't seen/read everything out there. You can

Lots of countries call themselves democratic that absolutely aren't e.g. The DPRK for a ridiculous example. We actually aren't even democratic in the truest sense that we don't all vote on everything but instead elect represe

The governments don't really cause the issues. The big issues are just things that face the country no matter who is in control - how to pay for everything, how to deal with population aging etc. It's not a simple country - it&#x2
