Interestingly Kent Beck (the originator of Extreme Programming) has been doing a lot with AI coding and figuring out how it could be useful: https://tidyfirst.substack.com/p/augmented-coding-beyond-the... I remember he first posted 2+ years ago, back when people first realized ChatGPT might be useful for coding, that "90% of my skills are now worthless and the remaining 10% are worth 1000x" https://tidyfirst.substack.com/p/90-of-my-skills-are-now-wor... | ||

I’m is the opinion that the test first XP style of development pays more dividends now than ever, simply because you can use it to validate the code that AI generates and importantly it makes it easier to generate code from these AI tools. | ||

One of these "AI coding" things that come across as a code smell is the habit of littering outdated reports/guides in the repo. That seems to be happening here too. This is clearly an AI-generated report based on the code at the time of the generation. I don't see the point of storing them in the history? Especially as this _updated_v2_from_2025 trail of debris. https://github.com/KentBeck/BPlusTree3/blob/main/rust/docs/C... https://github.com/KentBeck/BPlusTree3/blob/main/rust/docs/U... | ||
