LLMs rocking it helping me fix production bugs. crazy
do not understand KDP/Amazon - I upload a blue cover and they print a gray cover - there's no way to predict this from the online, and last time, they never changed the cover at all, i had to make a new edition smh. If anyone bought the Amazon paperback, can you confirm? thx
amazon.com/dp/B0GRMYBN8H
can't believe the paperback is already out - less than 24 hours!
also as Kindle and ePub on my site ( alistaircockburn.company.site/Epub-Simplif... )
wow Kindle is already live:
www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRJNFJ4B
and good news - the "read a sample" gives you the most important 40 pages in the book for free lol
go get it! :))
Just uploaded the ePUB! who wants to be first to buy and report the first error? :))
just uploaded to Amazon paper and Kindle, but those will take a few days.

interesting - Amazon's kindle prep finds spelling errors. The paper edition prep doesn't.
But they have you submit the paper version first
thanks - i don't know how to do that :))
i just publish as fast as i can and then post links :)
should be just a few days if all goes well
Closing in on it - Time to go get an ISBN and start the metadata construction :)
draft cover - comments & suggestions welcome
finally got agents to break rules write code over everywhere, so he's in "rogue agents and a giant code base"
- can't wait to see how he gets out of it :)
read his substack and see what "BANANA WASH, or the Whole Kitchen Sink Methodology" looks like and produces. It's amazing
Djordje Babic: djordjebabic.substack.com/p/hexagonal-... is an incredible piece of work
one agent planning, one building, him in the middle, going up and down the trust ladder, using the full BANANA WASH methodology from Wardley maps to Marquet's leadership ladder to Hexagons to ... everything

patreon (free read) discussions w Djordje Babic adding David Marquet's Leadership Ladder. Note how Claude knows all about it.
Call it "WASHABANANA" or "Full kitchen sink" method, all our writing over the last 75 years in this field are fully paying off.
Djordje Babic made it official (to Claude)
lovely thanks,
i'm leaning toward "The Whole Kitchen Sink Methodology" lol, there's not a lot left out :)
ANABWASH: ai, nano, bureaucracy, atdd, walking skeleton, hexagons
HAHA: Justin Randall "You're so close to BANANAWASH. You can't find another "NA" to throw in? π"
I might rename this the "full kitchen sink" methodology ;))
ANABWASH: ai, nano, bureaucracy, atdd, walking skeleton, hexagons
Djordje Babic in Serbia is this to the next level -
Wardley, use cases,Marquet's leadership-ladder for trust. Claude follows/contributes
His article and talk coming up....
lol i'm open to suggestions!
* AI
* nano
* walking skeleton
* hexagon
* atdd or tdd
* bureaucracy
.... whatcha got?
ANAWSH :
Ai-executed,
Nano-incremented,
ATDD,
Walking Skeleton,
Hexagons
lol, acronyms not my specialty :)) but that's it at the moment
(need an acronym for "LLM-executed nano-incremental ATDD hexagonal walking skeleton" lol)
day 4 LLM drill : thinking about cognitive overload from fast LLMs - how do we humans keep any sense of what's happening?
even my little table of nano-slices overwhelmed my poor little brain, so looking at a way to spec them so that i can read what's going on.
eg this table
βSure, iβll just sign this contract, i have no idea what it says but itβs too long to read.β
me, working with Claude on generating code
im happy to report my dev process is fully buzzword compliant: "LLM-executed nano-incremental walking skeleton hexagonal arch atdd cicd githubβ structure
heh, I should be ready to ascend to nirvana any minute now :))
my next test, which would get the tax rate from a repository... What Claude automagically did was to use the initial service call "greetings()" which returns "hello" ... this establishes the primary port without messing up the actual service interface.
... Nice move, Claude :)
Claude just taught me something yesterday ... in my nano-incremental hexagonal development, i always start with return a constant. But I always did it off a primary service, like "getTaxRateOn(100)" and it would return "10" as a constant. But that would get messed up by

progress :) got the micro-cycle working :)

i'm finally starting my experiments with Claude, but I need a bigger example than a coffee machine, ATM or Checkers to test out the ideas
who's got an app idea that's worthy of DDD and a couple of agents fighting over the code?
Copenhagen! (DK generally): I'm looking to run a course in CPH or nearby in May. Various courses for programmers, POs, PMs, etc.
Looking for co happy to host it for 2 places in the course
- Who here might be interested?
oh - or connected in Norway? I'd like to get up there, too
