AI Chronicles #4: fetch() Quest

Video Description

It’s an “all rants, all the time” episode—at the least for the first hour. We start out talking about the role of engineering leadership in a company. Then it’s a discussion of evolutionary design and the costs of change. Then teaching through pairing. Finally, we buckle down to work, and make solid progress on a prototype integration test for the front-end fetch() wrapper.
