It took like two minutes.
I’ve noticed this happening more reasonably often. The problem isn’t always the AI. Sometimes it’s me—I’m stuck in prompt-tweaking mode when what I really need is to step back and just solve the problem.

Ran into an annoying problem getting it to build a unit test for that class, though. I probably vibe coded my way through half a dozen different prompts (reworded, added detail, changed context, blah blah blah). Nothing good came of that.
Eventually I gave up and just Wrote. The. Test. Myself.

As with everything in IT, it depends ;-).
What’s the app’s domain? Who’s it for? Devs, consumers, orgs? Global or niche? SEO-heavy or app-driven?
Without context, it’s just a vanity pick.

Agile isn’t a formula—it’s a mindset. Swapping out one process for another without respecting what already works or how the team operates just adds ceremony without value.

In reality, productivity comes from focus, clarity, and purpose—not from where you're sitting. Ironically, I get more done on a train ride than I do in some of those mandated on-site sessions.

L8ly seen a shift in our org where mngmnt is pushing for Scrum to “modernise” delivery. Am not against Scrum. It can work well in the right context. What concerns me is when it's applied rigidly, especially with the assumption that in-person meetings on fixed days are inherently more productive.

Absolutely agree with this, Andrew. Deep, meaningful work and the autonomy to solve real problems are the real drivers of engagement—location becomes irrelevant when you're in flow.

Now that’s what I call a well-aged commit — 8 years in the barrel, 15 years in the repo.
Congrats Damian! Here’s to code that runs smooth and breaks rarely!

Sometimes a plain foreach and a good conversation beats any cathedral of composability.
Appreciate the wisdom drop.
@andrewstellman.bsky.social these lessons hit different once you’ve both built the wrong thing and built it right.

Architecturally pristine. Utterly useless.
The business wanted a peanut butter sandwich. I gave them a gluten-free, fair-trade, artisanal grain sorter. In parallel.
Nowadays, I ask “what outcome are we after?” long before I reach for my Func<…>s and monads.

I once wrote a “beautiful” LINQ pipeline — immutability everywhere, pure functions cascading like some kind of FP symphony. Problem was, no one (including future me) could figure out why it did what it did. It was technically perfect.

Oh, I felt this. Took me a couple decades, some runtime scars, and a brief but passionate fling with the functional dark side of C# to really get it.

And not to forget about having to set a registry key to be able to have "long path" (>260chars) support FFS!

Ours can't go outside bc we don't live on the ground floor & even there they managed to pull birds through the net (and basically destroying it) we put up on the balcony. Had to remove some branches of the wild wine which grew along the balcony to stop giving birds a place to sit and get preyed on.

yeah, me neither. but, I think that is the reason why they went for a new syntax to load nugets (#: instead or #r) since, as always, microsoft doesn't want to break already existing stuff

wasn't that already possible or has this been removed
