Software development methodologies compared.
@mookie as someone who knows nothing about tech, this just looks like an undeserved compliment towards AI, the horrible city-ruining car becomes a lovely duck
@mookie the thing is: With waterfall you may end up with the car as planned but than you realize, you needed a truck instead.
And with agile you actually end up with a car that has teeny tiny skateboard wheels and a wooden frame because that's how you started and replacing it would be to expensive.
So AI is the only approach that is consistent all the way. You start with crap, the in-between is crap and the end result is crap.
There’s a bit of a narrative though.
In Waterfall, you tend to build the pieces, then build up, but may not have anything functional until the end.
In Agile, you focus on building something basic & working first, then iterate, improving it but keeping it functional through your iterations.
The last one (AI) is a non-sequitur pile of unrelated nonsense.
I think that’s a big part of the tech joke.
