  • First thing I remember, was asking Scrum Master “Why”?
    For there were many things I didn’t know
    And Scrummy always smiled, took me by the hand
    Saying, “Someday you’ll understand”

    Well I’m here to tell you now, each and every scrum,
    You’d better learn it fast, you’d better learn it young
    'Cause tech debt sprint never comes

    The time and tears went by, and I collected story points
    For there were many things I didn’t know
    When Scrummy went away, he said “Try to be a PM
    And someday you’ll understand”

    Well I’m here to tell you now, each and every scrum,
    You’d better learn it fast, you’d better learn it young
    'Cause tech debt sprint never comes

    And then, one day in April, I wasn’t even there
    For there were many things I didn’t know
    An intern was given to me, Scrummy held his hand,
    Saying “Someday you’ll understand”

    Well I’m here to tell you now, each and every scrum
    You’d better learn it fast, you’d better learn it young
    'Cause tech debt sprint never comes
    Ooh, tech debt sprint never comes.

    Think it was September, the year I went away
    For there were many things I didn’t know
    And I still see him standin’, tryin’ to be a PM
    I said, “Someday you’ll understand”

    Well here I am to tell you, each and every scrum
    You’d better learn it fast, you’d better learn it young
    'Cause tech debt sprint never comes.
    Ooh, tech debt sprint never comes.



  • Amen

    And to add that smart people fall for dumb biases, we just need to look at the object oriented mania of the 2000s to late 2010s to see us shoehorn in one paradigm into everything without critically considering whether it made sense over other models.

    Can an LLM do everything I need yet? No.

    But is a stochastic parrot good enough to help me complete a function and help me restructure code? Yes definitely.

    Claude is good enough for so much of the low value code I write that is actually a useful tool. I have to review the code but it’s useable.

    I use AI search to lookup functions that I don’t need detailed docs for, or to help me debug arcane library specific errors (just had one earlier today where in polars the list and array types are very much not interchangeable and the explode method was failing).

    I still read the docs on things that are critical, and I write the critical paths and dictate structure and understand the problem im solving well.
