I'm not so sure about the statements of the last paragraph... Too much wishful thinking?

#AI #GenerativeAI #SoftwareDevelopment #Programming #PromptEngineering: "Generative AI will make coding easier but the world will still need coding skills to guide or correct the chatbots’ work.

One unexpected consequence of AI is that its rise could revive demand for a liberal arts education. AI’s propensity for errors or hallucinations means an increase in demand for prompt engineers. They determine the best way to frame a question when interacting with AI-powered systems. This requires people with strong language and creative thinking skills. Like previous technologies, AI is creating new roles as well as revamping old ones."

I've never been so insulted by something I 100% agree with.

I wrote in long-form about #arity in #softwareengineering and #softwaredevelopment:

How much arity is too much?

I’d like some feedback from you: how much is too much? How much is good? Do we have a rule of thumb?

Arity is the amount of input arguments for a function / method / process / program. Less could be more… unless you write in Java and pass in a context object that holds hundreds of settings.

What say you?

If you still write Sass, why do you do it?

Here is a teaser for my talk about software quality that I gave at NewCrafts Conferences in Paris.

#softwareCraft #softwareQuality #pushToDeploy #velocity #innovation #softwareDevelopment #NewCrafts2024

Push-to-deploy is kind of a mantra for me. When I do a change on the thing that I'm working on and I commit it to my versioning system, and then I push it. It should trigger the chain, your pipeline, your flow, that puts it in front of the real customer. Deploy is not just is it running somewhere? But is it used by the end user? Whatever makes you money. So it's a universal principle, and it's really easy to remember what to do. How to get there is the hard part, however. What does it give me? It's to deal with surprises. What we need in order to be able to push-to-deploy however, that is where the craft comes in. The plain process of I push code and it goes online, that is no magic. We want to be certain that it works. The only way to get to this point, is to write tests. So we need good tests over the entire system to make sure that even small changes, we don't accidentally break something. The unfortunate truth is that, it is extremely hard to get started. The effort it takes, when there are no examples in your source codebase, is insane. And it's super frustrating. How do we get there? How do we become good?

Current status: cup of tea in the garden. Reading a 2007 book I bought in 2012, about some software first released in 1995 handling a 1981 protocol that I'm going to use as the cornerstone of my teeny tiny SaaS in 2024.

May we all have such a long-term effect on the world!

Very nice talk on LOFAR rebuilding of their control system, all based on open source components, including PyTANGO as SCADA.

Lots of emphasis on observability!

Clear-eyed explanation of disastrous fragility in current technical systems, yet it’s also very funny. Plus discussion. Well worth your time, and good inspiration for systems builders/sysadmins.
