Waterfall is back with AI

While artificial intelligence is often viewed as a radical disruptor, this text argues that the technology is actually facilitating a return to the disciplined rigor of traditional software engineering. The author contends that the chaos of modern development requires a “third way” that blends the structured architectural blueprints of the Waterfall model with the rapid, iterative feedback loops of Agile. By leveraging AI to automate the creation of dense technical specifications and engineering plans, teams can restore the standardized measurement and predictability that was lost when Agile became overly focused on rituals. Ultimately, the source suggests that AI acts as a bridge, allowing developers to maintain high-integrity engineering standards while meeting the modern demand for extreme speed and adaptability.

Stories make up the travel

Travel is messy. Failed plans, sleepless nights, shady hotels, bad weather. It is fun too, unexpected finds, food on the streets, fun with friends, and escape from reality. However, the travel bloggers will make you think that is a well-scripted adventure with nice people and fabulous hosts. Follow a few tips and you get posh…

Well made plans

We are a species that thinks we can dictate everyone. Others, Nature, time, what not. Especially while on a vacation. We make real good tight plans. And then we have gyanis like Arpit(the tour guide for the trip) who tell us there are relaxed plans that let you soak in views, enjoy breeze. And then…

Bums endured

We are a paradox. We are runners so waking up real early is not an issue. Yet we are late most of the time for a morning start. We are a nut case group that can find nonsense at any hour at the vaguest of places. We have narcissists who will vanish to take pics…

It’s a complicated and alluring Valley

There is an album “Call of the valley” that the greats of Hindustani classical music made nearly four decades back. It has the same hold on our souls as it did then. The music has a lure and a clam energy. Much like the Kashmir valley it alludes too. The valley is ancient, majestic, serene,…

Contentment …

Once up a time in the Pre covid era I had seen a post from a friend who said life should be led by the heart’s desires but the ring of family, friends, jobs, friends, expectations, norms and what-nots bind us all. So we do not chase the dreams but choose the chains. But, there…

Influencers and our responsibilities

Three days back, PM of India addressed the nation and one of the actions called out was for a Junta(peoples’) curfew. From 7 am to 9 pm on the 22nd, today. With in an hour I had a forward that said since corona lives on surfaces for 12 hours, 14 hours of zero contact will…

Vision

So another long pause. After reading my last blog wify dear asked, “when will you reach Leh and when will you come back to Bangalore. In your blogs … ” 🙂 Ya if you want to know the journey so far read the previous blogs ( The courage of one lets another seek adventure, Call…

The courage of one lets another seek adventure

Roads, river, dust, mountains, food, bikes all mixed well as I and my band of brothers did the Leh’ed thingy in June 2017. The trip was phenomenal but I fell ill a week later and then circumstances, mood, impulses and a lot of “stuff” took over so could not write about it. Finally, I started…

Call of the Valley

Mountain spirits have possessed me. Those jagged, towering, sky challenging, snow-tipped peaks. Impatient, naughty, unruly, yet happy streams. Curvy clean yet so transient-ish roads. Cute dogs and fluffy pups. Simple people. Stark landscapes. Punctuating waterfalls. All these gladden the heart even while I am writing this. This possession is becoming obsessive, for we had set…

Mad max on fury road or was it death race ?

This blog series is talking much longer than expected to come to the main point. I took so much time to get started and now each segment is stretching into more than one blog ! And our trip to point A to point B during the ride too took longer than expected even when we anticipated the longer than expected thingy.
