@thirstybear @matthewskelton as an out of date coder experimenting with AI to build a modern website, TDD and very small steps are definitely as important as ever. If not more important (if that’s possible).

@matthewskelton It has to be said.

IMO the rules haven’t changed - small batch size, well structured, readable code & tests etc etc. There’s nothing in these tools to suggest different to me. The only change is they are burning the planet to avoid cutting and pasting code from random sites

@matthewskelton very much agree with the raised eyebrow. Some folks really just don't want to do incremental continuous delivery. AI is yet another excuse not to.
@matthewskelton I think https://thenewstack.io/vibe-coding-the-shadow-it-problem-no-one-saw-coming/ covers a similar topic - it’s quite an interesting read IMHO.
Vibe Coding: The Shadow IT Problem No One Saw Coming

Vibe coding promises easy AI-generated software but creates massive shadow IT risks for enterprises. Learn why this trend threatens security, compliance and scale.

The New Stack

LLM-driven code generation threatens a return to ā€œbig batch testingā€ and massive releases because the amount of code to review is just too large for human comprehension. We’ve been there before and it’s not good.

Continuous Delivery practices helped get out of that mess, but apparently "it all changes with AI" 🧐

Who would welcome a talk / article about this?

Today is the anniversary of the release of the web to the world, in 1991, by @timbl when he said "Try it"

Billions have taken up his call to use the web. W3C, as a steward of this initial gift since 1994, is realizing our vision of making the web work, for everyone – a web designed for the good of its users, that is safe and secure.

After three years out of the EU's Horizon research programme, UK researchers re-entry has seen them quickly ramp up the grant levels towards levels in previous programmes.

This will be good news for those universities hosting these research projects... so a glimmer of good news for the university sector, alleviating the finical crisis a little for some universities!
