Nice to think about. One of the things I'm doing is to take best practices from agile/devops into a framework wherein the bot operates.

😂😂😂😂😂

Kern should come hang on `stacker.news/~AI`!!!

Co-author Jon Kern says AI coding tools amplify strengths and expose weaknesses

Twenty-five years after 17 software developers 

 at a Utah ski resort to draft the Agile Manifesto, artificial intelligence is once again reshaping how code gets written.

One of those original signatories, Jon Kern, believes the latest shift – so-called "vibe coding," where developers generate software with chatbot assistance – represents both a natural evolution of agile principles and a potential replay of past missteps.

In a conversation with The Register, Kern describes himself as "smitten" with vibe coding. His tool of choice is Replit, and he claims the technology has "definitely taken the world by storm."

"The things that I've been able to do with this 'vibe coding' are striking." Not everyone agrees.

The Agile Manifesto has, for better or worse, played a major role in the professional lives of software developers for a quarter of a century.
