Today’s guest is Kent Beck, original signer of the Agile manifesto, creator of Extreme Programming, and all-round programming legend.
With Kent we had the unique opportunity to talk about the big picture. I inquired him about the state of the software engineering craft today, discussing things like:
(00:00) Introduction
(02:27) Agile vs Power Structures
(08:37) The Return of Waterfall
(12:33) Extreme Programming & TDD
(23:29) Feedback Loops
(33:46) Code Reviews & Stacked diffs
(43:06) AI for Writing and Engineering
