How Do You Know That?
from Still Burning Hosted by Kent Beck
A bonus edition by the fire: Kent talks with his oldest, Beth Andres-Beck — software engineer, one-time self-driving-car programmer, theater major, organizer, and now a candidate for Congress. They start with a cheese pun and end up somewhere serious: why people don't write tests and how you actually get a team to start, what it means that an AI agent has no endocrine system of its own, and who is accountable when "the computer" makes the call. Along the way, a car that solved a roadblock by driving up onto the sidewalk, an org-design trick called the Guild of Guilds, and a kindergartner who asked the most important question there is: how do you know that? This season is sponsored by WorkOS and Augment Code. Creators & Guests Alyssa Eidam - Producer Kent Beck - Host Beth Andres-Beck - Guest
