Will there be source code in the future? To wrestle with this, we have to understand what code is. Unmesh Joshi sees code as having two distinct but intertwined purposes: instructions to a machine and a conceptual model of the problem domain.

Man: "I made you an apple pie! Here."
<hands you a bowl of ice cream>
You: "..."

If you tell them that ice cream is not an apple pie, you know they will call you a gate-keeping pie purist, and others will gang up to shout you down.

This was my tenth(!) year building 25 days of puzzles for #AdventOfCode. You can solve them all for free and in whatever programming language you like. I hope they help people become better programmers. 🌟

The first puzzle comes out in two hours: https://t.co/bDIPRWZupr

@alexbunardzic Unison?

[Frank Wagner @agilecoderfrank]

@cdenhartigh Not a game, indeed. The purpose of a game is to have fun. The purpose of programming is to solve a problem. Having fun in doing so is the luxury if our profession.

[Frank Wagner @agilecoderfrank]

@cdenhartigh No. Programming languages are precise, and unforgiving of errors. They allow for perfect communication, and free creativity from ambiguity.

[Frank Wagner @agilecoderfrank]

@TotherAlistair You will need to define the term anyway, why not go with a made up word, like "actaptor" or "adactor"?

[Bob Allen @CuriousAgilist]

Rules? Life has "rules"? Now you tell me. This would have been so much simpler with "rules".

Er… maybe not. This is complicated. Aaaarg.

Enjoy the discovery of "life" with only 4 rules, in November.

OH: "Is it Agile or agile?" "Agile" is the formal name for any process that conforms to the values and principles of the Agile Manifesto (tweaked to encompass the things we've learned in the past 20 years, ofc). Lowercase "agile" is a word in the English language. They used to be synonyms. Nowadays, virtually no company that claims to be Agile is. They aren't agile either. The term has become meaningless. I don't use it anymore if I can avoid it.

[Attention Alchemist @alexbunardzic]

Even if metrics show that tests have executed every branching logic in the code and ran every statement in the repo, it still means nothing. Because, what are those tests asserting? Do we know? Only mutation testing can tell us what’s going on.
