Your AI coding assistant doesn’t understand your product. Or your users. Or your legacy architecture.
Maybe it’s time we talked about the real cost. https://agilepainrelief.com/blog/the-real-cost-of-ai-generated-code-it-s-not-all-it-s-cracked-up-to-be/

In this third article of my questions series, I’m coming for your dependencies! I do my best to add a fifth cost to the cost of YAGNI laid out by @mfowler. You can also find out what my favorite programming book is.

Instead of saying "tech debt" for those things that slow down value delivery, maybe it's time to talk about "overgrown paths".
Longer version: On a bike ride today, I went past some structures in the woods that were the only remnants of a cafe, tea rooms, and a flax mill. In less than 50 years, there is almost no evidence of these buildings and paths because vegetation has taken over.

We were thrilled to take part in this year’s #XP2025 Conference at FHNW – not just as a sponsor, but as active members of the #Agile community.
Alongside many inspiring sessions, we ran a short survey at our booth. One key question:
What’s your biggest challenge in #SoftwareDevelopment?
Top answer: Technical debt and lack of time for clean-up work.
Resonates with your experience?

If you think that technical debt is scary, wait until you get to see your sec debt. Don't let the hacker penetrate your doors and locks. Start with continuous threat modeling at copi.owasp.org

Technischer Ballast in ML-Systemen erschwert langfristige Wartbarkeit. Verflechtung, instabile Daten, Rückkopplungsschleifen & Co. verursachen versteckte Kosten. Lösungen: bessere Abstraktionen, automatische Tests, Echtzeit-Überwachung. Nachhaltige ML-Systeme brauchen durchdachtes Design und eine Kultur, die Wartbarkeit priorisiert. #MachineLearning #TechDebt

Brand new HP M501dn has TLS 1.0/1.1 enabled, no way to disable.
Update firmware to latest(!) 2021(!) version and now there’s a menu page to turn that off.
Printer came out in 2016, sadly no “use by 2019” date on the package…

Agile Bible, Verse 5:
“Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done.”
Now tell me, when every process, idea, stakeholder, task, OKR, strategy, tool, framework, micromanagement, team structure, and team requirement comes top-down…
What exactly are you doing to ensure every individual has the environment and support to deliver their unique value and impact?
(Spoiler: The value and impact is not equal to your role. Shocking, I know.)
Keeping up with the pace of technology evolution is one thing—harnessing its full potential is another.
That's why this edition of Tech to Know dives into the big questions shaping business strategy:
How do we balance cloud scalability with financial discipline?
What does agentic AI mean for business operations?
Are coding assistants as transformative as they seem?

Holy crap! I just noticed we're up to 130 unit test suites in @pidgin 3 now! Compare that to the 7 suites we have in Pidgin 2!
This is what we've been talking about when we've been saying that we're making the code easier to maintain. The code has been reworked so that we can actually unit test way more of it and we will continue to add more tests as we move forward!
