I have renewed admiration for programmers. The amount of complexity involved in getting this app together. Even if I kept my spec unaltered there’s so much to think about in terms of implementation that I have to constantly reassess.

In my enthusiasm for using AI to implement my code, I’m discovering that it’s really important to timebox work because after a while, both I and the AI agent seem to get tired and just accept the status quo.
It’s critical to remain engaged in the process.

For the past few weeks, I’ve been exploring how to build an app using TDD and GitHub Copilot.
Who am I? I’m an electronic engineer, with deep technical on building modern engineering products. I read code pretty well. I am not a programmer.

It’s not always easy for people to ascertain how they feel (if they have trauma, if they are neurodivergent, etc). It’s important to keep in mind when having conversations about stress and mental health. #sydtechleaders

Tonight’s talks are obviously going to be a bit more personal than usual, so social media posting will be restricted to high level topics. ❤️ #sydtechleaders

When using augmentation coding tools:
Begin in a TDD/ATDD fashion and write your tests first.
START with business value tests & work downwards
Challenge any changes to a test.
Keep encouraging test coverage reviews
Refactor your tests!
Tests are a safety net and will keep any tools on track

By the way, we hit a milestone at #sydtechleaders tonight - an actual queue at the women’s restroom! It’s exciting to see such a diverse group in the room, and it’s a credit to the organising team! 🏆💪🚽

A couple suggestions from Ben: bring the work to where the people are; simplify to reduce cognitive load (don’t bury the lede!); consider adding some friction to slow things down, manage the timing of your nudges and prompts, and AUTOMATE! #sydtechleaders

It’s very tempting to think of leadership as taking ACTION, as always having the right answer. But that can put a lot of pressure on you… #sydtechleaders

It’s a hard lesson, but sometimes the best thing a leader can do is stay silent. Just be careful restraint doesn’t become avoidance. #sydtechleaders
