Chris PittsHere's a challenge for tech coaches out there. I am looking for a kata that is not already out there and analysed to death by an accursed AI.
I want to feed it to one of these stochastic parrots to observe its true nature.
Daniel Terhorst-North@thirstybear you might ask @emilybache if she has any unpublished ones, or @jbrains. Most of them are in the wild, unfortunately.
J. B. Rainsberger (he)@thirstybear @tastapod @emilybache We could devise one that is rich and surprisingly complicated in certain, dark corners, but still accessible. Ping me directly if you'd like to try. (As in, I have one in mind, but I haven't written it all down yet.)
@jbrains @tastapod @emilybache Just coming back to this. Turns out Kiro shows quite enough problems with plain old FizzBuzz unless closely supervised (maybe it's the way I introduce the edge cases?). But I'd love to develop an ‘evil kata' that is designed to really stretch folks' practices.(much like Mr Gorman has Evil FizzBuzz, which is...evil)
@thirstybear @jbrains @emilybache I think the part 1 / part 2 of any of the early days of Advent of Code would be great examples of that. Of course there are lots of example solutions in the wild though. I love how e.g. for one I had a simple game-of-life solution that blew up in part 2 and I had to reimplement it as a sparse matrix.
@tastapod @jbrains @emilybache Yep. For me that's part of the joy of writing code - getting caught out by evolving requirements. Those wry “Well, that didn’t go to plan" moments 🙂
Good point with the AoC stuff. More grist for the kata mill.
