devs: "code quality is not real it's just a gatekeeping thing" ai: "yea keep thinking that. btw you just ran out of tokens give me more of your money."

it's the line of code and it's the whole application and it's the whole platform. you think it, structure it, get it out to customers bit by bit in multiple passes for as long as theres a business

it never fails. i usually see more mistakes and wasted motion in our workflow and delivery flow when we skip tests or push em off to qa

rasiim kyan bey @wallacedrew.bsky.social · 02/12/2025

the idea that waste is just a part of doing business, plus a high tolerance for waste and wasteful workflow, plus the idea that improvement is not worth it. the combo is tragic. what does it all stem from?

the default vibe coded thing brings to mind the smart ui anti/pattern. gotta tighten the leash with the design test direction if i dont want the ai cruft to get outta hand and cost me a lotta tokens and bread

the work is smoother when you can break it down, and sketch out a vision first

the word "craft" gets disrespected. i feel like people think it's just about origami and singalongs. they scoff at your craft. i blame kindergarten. and why did serious software delivery professionals choose such a name for serious disciplined ways of working

not system reliability cloud data or network engineering blehkk. my spirit is in application software design and architecture within refactoring within tech debt or software cost reduction within software delivery operational excellence within thriving coworkers and delighted customers.

whether i work too fast, with wasted movement, directionless, unsustainable... or i work quickly, smoothly, with small, deliberate, reversible steps, calling my shots, surefooted... the ai lets me do it more and faster.

a: whats the best way to complete a complex complicated confusing project? q: break it down. then break those down into smaller projects. continue until you can hold a piece in your brain. do one piece at a time start to finish. do the next, repeat til done. adjust along the way as needed.

q: what's the worst way to complete a complex complicated confusing project? a: force fit it in your head. fool your self into thinking you understand it all tryna meet expectations/ deadline. max out your capacity and deathmarch forward repeating the mantra "git shit done".

refactor as part of "taking safe verifiable brain-sized baby steps to code the feature" (aka tdd). or refactor outside of tdd: sprinkled in during test-first or even edit-n-pray if you must; and or as tidying before and after the feature is done ...long as you do it.

re: copilot - she's like a guard dog protecting me from the mistakes i always make with syntax and boilerplate code. just keep her on a short leash tho cus she could do some real damage

bare minimum and just enough and leave well enough alone are all fine. but what's the standard? cus we have the option to go less defense and more offense, less reactive, more design and adventure.

are better software systems and software delivery organizations developed in environments/ cultures/ countries that are less individualistic?

code genies are dope but need guidance. rn im having it help me characterize some legacy mess. it tried several times to fix the bugs it finds. i have to remind it that we're in characterize mode. once i do that it's back in check. but it just goes to show that, in the wrong hands, . . .
