Myers DIFF Algorithm in plain English

Inputs: Two sequences, often represented as strings, let's call them A and B.

Goal: Find the shortest edit script that transforms sequence A into sequence B. An edit script is a sequence of operations like insertions, deletions, and substitutions.

Initialize the Matrix:
- Create a matrix with rows representing the characters of sequence A and columns representing the characters of sequence B.
- The matrix will have dimensions (M+1) x (N+1), where M is the length of sequence A, and N is the length of sequence B.

Selector Name	Description
insertNewline:	Insert a newline at the insertion point.
insertTab:	Insert a tab at the insertion point.

More than one way to TDD

There isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to Test-Driven Development (TDD), and different developers and teams may find variations of the process that work best for them. The essence of TDD lies in the principles of writing tests before or alongside code to ensure better design, maintainability, and test coverage. However, the exact process and order of writing tests and code can vary based on individual preferences and project requirements.

One approach, where you first get a feel for the problem and write some code before diving into the test-code cycle, is a valid way of approaching TDD, especially if it helps you better understand the problem domain and the code you need to write. This can be particularly useful when starting a new project or dealing with complex scenarios. In XP that's called a spike, but it's not really a separate activity, the sooner you can figure out the "bit you don't get", then you jump into writing a test.

The Humble Programmer

by Edsger W. Dijkstra

As a result of a long sequence of coincidences I entered the programming profession officially on the first spring morning of 1952 and as far as I have been able to trace, I was the first Dutchman to do so in my country. In retrospect the most amazing thing was the slowness with which, at least in my part of the world, the programming profession emerged, a slowness which is now hard to believe. But I am grateful for two vivid recollections from that period

In today's rapidly evolving world, artificial intelligence is shaking up many industries that were once thought to be technology-proof, from software engineering to legal services. The impact of AI on the human economy is still uncertain, but it's easy to feel worried about the future.

What used to be a far-off dream is now becoming a reality: a world where personalized AI agents can replace entire industries such as entertainment, education, legal services, and software engineering. We can already imagine asking AI to create a suite of music or a movie and consuming it immediately.

But as AI continues to evolve, we also face the possibility of increasing wealth inequality, where the 1% will use AI instead of people, leaving the 99% to suffer the consequences. The wealth gap we have now could become insignificant in comparison.

Without a game plan, the transition to a post-AI world could be chaotic and untenable. While researchers take the risks of AI seriously, leaders of business, governments, and milita
