Sustainable Augmented Development

Genies are great at cranking out features. Unfortunately they don’t clean the kitchen as they cook. Progress slows then stops as yesterday’s expedient decision becomes today’s roadblock.

What would it take to get the trajectory in red instead of the one in blue?

• Development in small steps validated by automated tests
• Periodic pauses in feature development to improve structure and thus increase optionality
• Potentially a new approach to augmented coding manipulating the tree structure of the code, not just the tokens

Sound familiar?
