There were some audio issues in the previous video, so I've re-uploaded it here: bsky.app/profile/anto...

I plan to take the previous post down in the next 24 hours.

Test-Driven Development of Claude Code Skills | Test-Driven Agentic Behaviours #TDAB YouTube video by RiverGlide TV

What if you could develop your SKILL . md files in a test-driven way, just like your code? That was the question I asked myself, and the result was Test-Driven Agentic Behaviours (TDAB)...

He didn't mean funny "haha". He meant "so coincidental that it's made me happy" funny.

I swiped away as soon as I saw the waterfall diagram that said "Test & Debug" after coding 😬

I've looked at it previously.
But, that's not really the point of the video... It's more about test-driving the agent files themselves.

Still, I've yet to see any skill execute TDD with the discipline I seek. However, it would be interesting to see if superpowers passes my agent test suite 🤔

If the collective comprehension and articulation of a concept is flawed, and our individual comprehension is flawed, then we cannot expect AI to be any less flawed than the material it has to work with.

This seems to be at the heart of much of the debate in AI augmented coding.

Mutation testing is a method that's becoming increasingly important with AI-augmented coding. Without it, we could risk future bugs in our agent-written code, even if what we release today seems to work.

Thanks to everyone that joined us for @xtclondon.bsky.social on Tuesday! Loved all the discussion sessions on enjoying programming, effectiveness of AI, security and "best vibe engineering practices" 💪 Looking forward to future meetups: www.meetup.com/extreme-tues...

Why faster coding doesn’t mean faster delivery YouTube video by Tuple

I recently joined Jack Hannah for a chat on @tuple's "Distributed" podcast.

We talk about what distinguishes teams at the 'Elite' benchmark of DORA's Software Delivery Performance metrics, how AI is reshaping software delivery and more.

Is Your AI assisted Coding Strategy Quietly Backfiring? YouTube video by RiverGlide TV

Is Your AI-assisted Coding Strategy Quietly Backfiring In 2026?
Most AI-assisted coding strategies lean on one simple assumption:

If developers can write code faster, delivery will be faster too.

The latest DORA research suggests that assumption is wrong, more often than not.

The Hidden Costs in Your Product Backlog Your product backlog could be encouraging teams to structure their work in ways that carry measurable costs. For one company, this would…

"Product managers were frustrated by how long even small features took to release". By making it possible to slice their backlog differently an additional £2.6M in revenue was found, representing "repeated revenue they were likely missing out on for some time".

Yeah, he's great.

I need to be more active here 🤔

Great catching up with @antonymarcano.bsky.social at The Rake in Borough Market tonight. Great conversation and some spiffy guest ales. Opinion was divided on the lemony one.

Yes, that's the obvious part. The issues are:

1. Most teams don't do that well without AI, so more lower quality code is made faster.

2. And it only benefits an org if, once you commit/push your code, it flows with ease to production. If there's bottlenecks, it harms the org.

Haha! Well, it doesn't come across like that to me. It seems he's very passionate about people getting the benefits of AI assisted coding, understands the pitfalls and limitations and is trying to help people understand them too.

It's not stopping me... There's no reason why it can't be the way you described your others too, but while using AI is treated as more important than maintainable code and throughput of real value (which seems to be the case for many) - what's the most likely outcome?

Think about it...

Yes, this is very true. I think a big problem is people communicate their needs in terms of a solution they have in mind. Behind that is at least an instinct of the problem to solve. If we ask what that problem is, we can help people find that path.

What Did This Viral Agile Diagram’s Story Miss Out? YouTube video by RiverGlide TV

Why the story of the viral skateboard-to-car, agile in a nutshell, image needs an unhappy ending...

You’ve probably seen Henrik Kniberg's skateboard-to-car sketch a thousand times. But, not with this version of the story behind it...

I've been living over on LinkedIn all this time and forgot that BlueSky was a thing...

Going to see what it's like here... And if anyone is listening.

It feels odd to me when people say they code solo by default, and only pair when it makes sense.

My default is to pair, and only code solo when that makes sense...
which is generally exploring, when it's about discovery of new ways rather than executing on one of them. But only for short periods.

Hello! Late to the party...
But better late than never.
