A prevailing Agile myth is that we don't do design but as I pointed out in a recent class, design should be continuous throughout development. One of my favourite areas of design occurs between defining the acceptance criteria for a story and going to code. It is here that the team needs to do:

Just
Enough
Design
With
All
Required
Developers

to make sure that we have a shared vision of what it is we are going to build.

We call this the JEDWARD stage...

10 Popular AI Prompt Formats

As the world continues to embrace the potential of artificial intelligence (AI), the quest for effective ways to communicate with these intelligent systems becomes increasingly important.  Over the last few months, I've encountered numerous discussions surrounding the usefulness of different prompt formats in harnessing the power of AI models. The necessity for clear and adaptable prompt structures has become abundantly clear.  In this article, I have a quick look at ten popular AI prompt formats, shedding light on their unique features, applications, and giving an example of each. Keyword-based  prompts: Prompting with specific keywords or phrases to guide the model's attention towards relevant information. Example: "Generate a summary of recent news articles about [keyword]." Template-based  prompts: Utilizing pre-defined templates to structure the input and guide the model's response generation. Templates can include placeholders for variables or specific conte...

Embracing AI - Augmented Intelligence

There is no denying that artificial intelligence (AI) has made significant strides over recent years, becoming more advanced and capable than ever before. With this progress, many have begun to wonder whether AI poses a threat to humanity, particularly our jobs, privacy, security, and overall well-being.  Some may argue that the rapid advancement of AI could lead to a dystopian world where machines rule supreme and humans become obsolete. However, it is important to remember that at its core, AI exists to serve us, not replace us. Instead of viewing AI as competition for human intelligence, we should consider it as an augmentation of our abilities.  This idea of 'Augmented Intelligence,' instead of Artificial Intelligence, highlights how powerful technology can enhance rather than impede human potential. Augmented Intelligence recognizes that humans and machines each possess their unique strengths, making them better together than apart. Humans excel in creativity, intuition, ...

Some ChatGPT Prompts

My inbox has turned into an AI listicle hotspot lately.  It seems that AI tools, in particular ChatGPT, can solve just about any problem you can think of and many that you probably didn't even know existed.   I thought if you can't beat them, you might as well join them, so I've used ChatGPT (of course) to produce some prompts of my own below. I've done most of the hard work by producing the prompts. I'm expecting others to use them to actually solve the problems and apply the the real world solutions. Please do let me know how you get on. The prompts - simply copy and paste them into ChatGPT (other AI systems are available): Prompt: "Generate a Single Line of Code to Decipher Dark Matter's Cryptic Language" Prompt: "Explain Quantum Entanglement in a way that a lay-person would understand" Prompt: "Develop an AI Interpreter in Python for Decoding Alien Communications" Prompt: "Provide a simulation of Black Hole Fusion" Pro...
