Vibe coding and Chat-oriented programming (CHOP) or more in general AI-assisted coding have the potential to rewrite the way we do professional software development

Team Topologies Vs Feature Teams
============================
Here at the tech conference Outpace Conf (Manchester), I am exploring the trade-offs, pros and cons, and contextual fitness of two ways to organise teams. And sharing insights from the audience, based on their lived experience.

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).

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

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

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

I find myself doing what I was doing when pairing with junior devs - telling them to list first what they intend to do, and then proceed one small step at the time after clarifying what changes they intend to do and how - but now I do it with the LLMs instead.
