Let's see how this goes. My new Essential Code Craft live remote training, aimed at self-funding, self-improving developers starts with workshops on Test-Driven Development on April 7 & 11.

As we speed-run the history of software engineering via trying to make AI coding reliable, repeatable, robust, and resilient...

We sometimes (re)discover something useful for software engineering in general. Checking architectural decision documents, requirements, constraints, and other artefacts in with the code ensures we have the reason for every fence close at hand when we consider removing it, and we have the history of those reasons alongside the code we wrote according to that history.

Don't use LLM generated code in your projects yet! If for no other reason than that the legal case law is NOT ESTABLISHED YET.

I know there was the "copyright laundering" thing that went around a lot, but we actually don't know.

You'll see commenters everywhere on the internet say that "the US Supreme Court ruled that AI generated output is in the public domain". That's misinfo: they *declined to take on* a case from a lower court coming to that conclusion. The US Supreme Court hasn't yet ruled.

And this hasn't shaken out in an international setting yet either.

You may be surprised to hear: I actually think it's more dangerous and empowers centralized AI companies even more if it *isn't* the case that AI output is in the public domain (I'll follow up about that), but regardless, right now we just don't know.

But despite that, I'm STILL saying that you're putting yourself in legally dubious territory right now if you include LLM generated code, for now. We don't know yet.

[EDIT: now sorted thank you SO MUCH!]

Heads up my dudes, my son needs to do work experience this summer and he's a programmer. Nearly 15, can do 3 decent languages, main in Java, been programming since 4. All he wants to do is be a developer. Anyone offer work experience these days? Two weeks in July. London or Dartford way or anywhere in between. Ta! Retoots appreciated!

This year #IntelliJIDEA turned 25! It continues to evolve over the years, adding new features, integrating with tools and frameworks, etc.

This documentary shows the history of our favorite #Java & #Kotlin IDE and the company and people behind it.
