If you were using XGH+AI you wouldn't even need coffee. You would probably be drinking vodka, due to the psychic damage.

Thank you #Brazil for inventing this wonderful methodology. American developers can learn a lot from you. They needed help from the power of AI to do it but soon they will also be liberated from the unfair constraints of having to write working, understandable code.

(this is Bluesky so I feel like I have to add that this is a joke so that I don't get skewered for AI boosting)

If you use XGH+AI, this is always the right answer to every problem

If only that were enough

I think I am somewhat coming around to 'good for rapid prototyping if you throw away the code'.

Though tbh I love your article with my whole heart and will be sharing it widely.

You write your tongue and cheek posts with such confidence, I often confuse your seriousness with your sarcasm. Well done!

spavel.bsky.social•15 days ago

It's actually the other way around, I write my serious posts with the quivering fear of a man who might get yelled at on the internet at any moment

Buggy, unsafe, and inefficient code used to come from merging two product teams and telling them to put all their features into a single product. Ask me how I know.

spavel.bsky.social•15 days ago

Do you see?? What used to take 2 teams now only needs 1. That's double the productivity.

Really you just need to seed your repo with Hello, World then let the AI create PRs for the resulting issues. So simple a manager can do it.

“If you learn by shipping, XGH+AI will let you ship the wrong thing much faster than any old way of working, and the shipped thing will be more wrong than anything you could have dreamed of. Therefore we will learn faster than ever. It just makes sense.” - LOLSOB

Hat-tip to The Simpsons Max Power reference!

spavel.bsky.social•15 days ago

Had to check when that episode came out - I guess in the 22 years between it airing and the initial appearance of @gohorseprocess on Twitter, the reference must have penetrated into Brazilian Portuguese.
