At #GDCR, junior devs told they now spend more time prompting AI than actually coding. Wild how fast this shifted.

But here's the thing: after 15 years with my #Zettelkasten and months using AI coding tools, I'm not stopping to write in my ZK. Expertise isn't recall—it's depth built over years. Your Zettelkasten holds niche insights, tribal knowledge, and problem-solving patterns no training data captures.

That's your edge: depth that machines can't replicate.

Another implementation of game-of-life, this time in #Java and I tried to use some #functional constraints:

Didn't clean up the test file, that was not what I wanted to practice this time. Also, forgot to commit after each micro step during the #TDD cycle.

And it's probably my last game-of-life for some time, since this year's global-day-of-code-retreat is over. #gdcr

'Twas the night before @coderetreat and all through the house, every creature was folding, including the mouse.

There's still time to vote for Global Day of CodeRetreat as Program of the Year in Technical.ly's 2024 Awards:

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.
