Now imagine that the Carousel promotes people into management
@raganwald I eat change for breakfast!
@kerryb He was selling - check this out - "vibe coding prompts".
The Secret Magical Vibe-Coding Prompts of Destiny
I'm fascinated by folks who set out to be rich and/or famous - and don't really care how. A lot of them, later in life, seem to desperately need to be seen as serious people.
"Agile is for dev teams that don’t ship".
U-huh. Are you, by any chance, selling "A.I."?
I can't help wondering if Trump's spending most of his time talking on the phone with ChatGPT pretending to be other world leaders.
What's it like being a software developer over the age of 50? Well, how can I put this? Have you seen the movie Logan's Run..?
And then I see them advocating software factories and large-scale programmes of planned reuse, and it all makes sense.
I see a CV that goes something like:
-> BSc Computer Science
-> PhD Computer Science
-> Professor of Software Engineering

It's been nearly a quarter of a century, and I still regularly find myself explaining that Hibernate isn't JDBC.
I played "Add a letter and ruin a movie" with GPT-4o. This was attempt 9.

Looking forward to it, and a little relieved not to be doing it in person under current circumstances.
@zef Not only that, we've also determined what "intelligence" is.
If only theoretical physicists had thought to get VCs to pour billion of dollars into Unified Field Theory start-ups, we'd have that problem solved in minutes!

"Context7 MCP has totally changed my agentic coding flow. Combined with the Perplexity MCP, I’m now building in half the time, with near-zero errors."
Oh do f**k off, there's a good chap.
