Good ideas in software delivery often sound wrong at first, which is why teams reject them before giving them a chance. Hibri's session explored why our intuition misleads us so… Watch: buff.ly/0wvhkbO

What I love about reading the Discworld books is that whilst its set in a fantasy world, it's very much a critique on the norms of the real world. Was listening to the Men at Arms audiobook yesterday and loved how it engages with diversity, monarchy and racism.

2. If we stop trading slaves / extracting fossil fuels, we will hand an advantage to our commercial rivals, who are bound to continue (because foreigners are perfidious). 3. The slaves / planet will then be worse off, because foreign slave traders / fossil fuel producers are dirtier than ours.

One of the problems with AI generated code review is that pretty much anyone can give a review without any context or design discussion. They probably won’t understand any fixes made. The worrying bit is that there is no discussion with a human.

Generating code was never the goal. The goal was to solve problems. I tried my best to avoid writing code by leveraging existing solutions or reframing the problem. Writing code was always a last resort and a liability. If I was going to write code, then I was going to do it right.
