Sauf que รงa se fait en รฉquipe. Parce qu'on bosse en extreme programming. Qui implique une responsabilitรฉ partagรฉe du code. Du travail en รฉquipe (mob programming). Et รงa met plusieurs cerveaux sur un mรชme sujet (souvent un sujet un peu gros). Bref, cette mรฉthode de crรฉation de schรฉma a toujours รฉtรฉ ma mรฉthode pour mieux apprรฉhender les choses, ce que j'apprends. Mais lร , j'en ai pris mon parti et le fais pour en faire profiter tout le monde sans exception.

Je conseille de pratiquer cette mรฉthode, c'est vraiment utile pour embarquer tout le monde et les tirer vers le haut :)
Voilร  ^_^

Pull requests: quality theater with questionable results โ€” ottorask.com

Does your organization prefer or maybe even force pull requests for reviewing and validating changes before integrating to a mainline? I have news for you: youโ€™re engaged in quality theater and the only thing the PRs are doing for you is add cognitive load and delays while preventing you from finding better ways to ensure youโ€™re shipping a quality product without delays.

On ๐…๐ซ๐ข๐๐š๐ฒ, ๐Œ๐š๐ซ๐œ๐ก 27, Iโ€™ll be presenting "๐ž๐—๐ญ๐ซ๐ž๐ฆ๐ž ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ ๐ซ๐š๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐  โ€“ ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐Š๐ง๐จ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ž๐๐ ๐ž ๐–๐ž ๐‹๐จ๐ฌ๐ญโ€ at ๐๐ž๐ฏ๐‚๐จ๐ง๐Ÿ 2026.

The following excerpt comes from โ€œAll I Really Need to Know About Pair Programming I Learned in Kindergartenโ€, an article written by Laurie Williams and Robert Kessler. This article got published in May 2000, but is still highly relevant today.

El mejor cรณdigo no es el mรกs complejo, sino el que cualquier compaรฑero puede leer y mejorar. Eso es Extreme Programming en esencia. ๐Ÿ’ก

Itโ€™s hard to fix something because itโ€™s easy to break something else?

Thatโ€™s your clue: refactor first.

(Special case of the general KFB wisdom โ€œFirst make the change easy, then make the easy change.โ€)

#Refactoring #ExtremeProgramming #XPLives

Scientific research discovered that human brains โ€œsync upโ€ when we collaborate. Co-creation patterns in software development do really work. These new findings add to the existing pile of research that others like Laurie Williams have already done regarding pair / ensemble programming.

Collaborative rule learning promotes interbrain information alignment:

It's funny how #ExtremeProgramming is having a comeback with AI.

Practises like TDD, baby steps, feedback loops, CI, iterative planning takes AI from slop to workable.

When I'm most effective with Copilots resembles how I was working a decade ago, when I was practising XP the most.
