Corry's enshitification is in charge

So we are cycling back to kind of Waterfall Development ? No more agility ? The trend is dead by AI ?


"Waterfall" got a bad rep because it meant "we stay months in the requirements gathering, then months design phase, then months in development, then months in validation". If you compress "months" to days/hours, what you obtain is something that nobody from the 90s would recognize as "waterfall"; it is not the end of agility, far from it.


Using librairies, building TUI was easy before AI too.


Ben, that was one of my favorite "internet" stories... What a beautiful generational link!


Total resonance with this part :

"They’re writing TypeScript that compiles to JavaScript that runs in a V8 engine written in C++ that’s making system calls to an OS kernel that’s scheduling threads across cores they’ve never thought about, hitting RAM through a memory controller with caching layers they couldn’t diagram, all while npm pulls in 400 packages they’ve never read a line of."


Why not if you are free to fork it and do whatever you want with it ?


Maybe they can use an LLM to help them implement this feature ? Oh wait a second...


Fork the project.


What about "just" having an history table aside ? Or perhaps a better name would be a mouvement table ?


Write a commit message for your future self


Future self won't understand the code and the message. ;)


... Or your future AI agent
