Chris Ford has spicy takes on Engineering With AI!

"Human in the loop won't work"! "Developers passing on tribal code base knowledge is over!" "Pair Programming still matters!" "Refactoring is not dead!" "We should stop calling things CD!" Wait, that last one is quite reasonable. (Continuous Delivery, Continuous Deployment, Continuous Design, Compact Disc, Certificate of Deposit...) This was a really great conversation! Chris has been thinking hard about the impacts AI is having on software engineering, and it showed! Books, blogs and other resources we mentioned: Working Effectively with Legacy Code [https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/working-effectively-with/0131177052/] (WELC) Continuous Deployment [https://www.thoughtworks.com/en-gb/insights/books/continuous-deployment] The Phoenix Architecture [https://aicoding.leaflet.pub/] - Chad Fowler's writing on AI As usual, thanks to our founding sponsor, Navalia!
