Tech Tips, Tricks & Trivia

This Week I Learned -  * Claude.ai, Replit.com, Bolt.new, V0.dev, Pythagora.ai and a few other tools write and deploy code just based on a prompt.   * "We ( Thoughtworks ) see some antipatterns starting to appear in the hyperactive AI space, including the mistaken notion that humans can fully replace pair programming with AI as the companion, overreliance on coding assistance suggestions, code quality issues with generated code and faster growth rates of codebases. AI tends to solve problems via brute force rather than use abstractions, such as using dozens of stacked conditionals rather than the Strategy design pattern. The code quality issues in particular highlight an area of continued diligence by developers and architects to make sure they don’t drown in "working-but-terrible" code. Thus, team members should double down on good engineering practices — such as unit testing, architectural fitness functions and other proven governance and validation techniques — to ma
