El mejor código no es el más complejo, sino el que cualquier compañero puede leer y mejorar. Eso es Extreme Programming en esencia. 💡

It’s hard to fix something because it’s easy to break something else?

That’s your clue: refactor first.

(Special case of the general KFB wisdom “First make the change easy, then make the easy change.”)

Scientific research discovered that human brains “sync up” when we collaborate. Co-creation patterns in software development do really work. These new findings add to the existing pile of research that others like Laurie Williams have already done regarding pair / ensemble programming.

It's funny how #ExtremeProgramming is having a comeback with AI.

Practises like TDD, baby steps, feedback loops, CI, iterative planning takes AI from slop to workable.

When I'm most effective with Copilots resembles how I was working a decade ago, when I was practising XP the most.

Periodic reminder: if you’re intrigued by a job posting touting #ExtremeProgramming, maybe it’s what it claims to be. I hope so. But maybe not.

Hit up your network before applying. If you’re reading this, I’m in your network.

If #EngineeringLeadership doesn’t believe neurospicy folks can strengthen a team, they’re simply wrong. Maybe they’ll learn.

But if a supposed #ExtremeProgramming expert doesn’t grok this, such remarkably deep failure of understanding indicates ignorance AND profound obstinacy.

If you don’t know how to care for people and don’t care to learn, by definition — no matter how convincingly you write, speak, and code — you are not an #ExtremeProgramming expert. And when you take a power position and try to enact XP among humans, we can see you’re a charlatan.

I differ from standard/conodical , in that I see value to some "External Technical Documentation." But I insist that it must clearly show value, to consider investing the time required to create and maintain it over time, and to find and use it.

The for Software Development, and , in particular, have always valued

"Working Software over Comprehensive Documentation"

"That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more."

I'm sorry to wave goodbye to a community of over 1500 members, and two decades worth of facilitating practice-based events, and teaching #ExtremeProgramming and #SoftwareCraft skills to programmers.

Lesson learned. Don't give your data to centralised services.

The group was immensely successful, and enjoyed a 4.9 rating. If you've run a meetup, you know what that means.

Adios muchachos.
