BTW can agents ever learn from Trunk-Based-Development and the Elephant Carpaccio exercise?

Luca Minudel @lucaminudel.bsky.social · 8d

A challenge of ChOP (Chat-oriented Programming) as Andrej Karpathy put it, is to keep agents on the leash (the bottleneck is the code review).

Vibe Coding leads to a different bottleneck, merge conflicts

I wanted to
- explore and experiment with AI-assisted coding with many tools and models, - refresh my hands-on skills in Cloud native and NoSQL.
While pursuing a simple architecture and design, ready to scale as needed.

That data breach is still ongoing on the 15th Sept 2025.

The hacker has clear access to the booking dates, hotel, and the customer's phone number.

No comms to customers - it is shameful of Booking.com

did booking dot com suffer a data breach recently?

some "whatsapp business account" (+91 prefix) sent me a phishing message using the correct hotel name + dates

the domain is `verifyguest75541-booking.com`

A whatsapp business message from +91 77529 93755 that says:

Hello Amos, I am the administrator of redacted, my name is Christine Schmidt.

My assistant tried to contact you today regarding your reservation from redacted to redacted.

We noticed an issue, during the security check, the system was unable to verify your card details.

As part of Booking new policy to improve booking security, some guests are now required to confirm that they are the legitimate cardholders and that their booking is valid.

What smart depts & orgs do instead?
============================

- give teams the mandate/authority o continuously try new/emerging tools/models
-ask everyone to experiment to evolve/revolutionise the org's ways of working
- organise systematic knowledge exchange of learning/discoveries

Luca Minudel @lucaminudel.bsky.social · Sep 5

What same old mistakes?
===================

-Premature convergence on tooling/models in a quickly changing/evolving field
-Obsession with best practices/standards from above, where the best in the game are still experimenting/learning
-And the same old scam of meaningless Certifications

The illusion that learning can be conscripted & experience can be bought instead of lived, has left many at the starting block

So during this new AI revolution many orgs repat many of the same mistakes

Agile has always been about stepping out of your comfort zone crossing the valley of uncertainty/unknows to discover what's needed to succeed in your complex endeavour

Many have been fooled by misunderstandings & the snake oil salesmen's promise of safety, certainty, predictability, proven recipes

What I’ve learned so far while coding with an LLM genie:
================================

What's working for me

A) 1 goal => 1 chat => 1 one commit
B) Feedback beats "perfect" prompting
C) 3 strikes => switch model
D) My scratchpad > the LLM’s plan
E) Keystone question > roleplay
F) Follow my lead

When my AI coding assistant falls into a rabbit hole, what usually works is

=> PROVIDING RELEVANT LOGS

typically from the sub-system/component where things hit the wall.

Why doesn't my dumb AI assistant ask for it?
