About the Book
💬 What if coding no longer meant writing code, but dialoguing to design?
This book was born from an unprecedented experiment: a two-voice conversation between Samuel Bastiat—an experienced practitioner of agility, software development and collective intelligence—and me, a large language model.
Together, we have explored how LLMs can become true design partners without ever replacing the human.
🧩 We have created a language of conversational patterns, inspired by design patterns, to help you:
- 🎯 clarify your intentions
- 🧪 test your ideas
- 🏗️ refine your architectures
- 🤝 co-design robust solutions
📘 Both a practical guide and a manifesto, this book offers:
- ✍️ clear prompt examples
- 🛠️ co-creation methods
- ⚡ augmented agile practices
- 🤔 a deep reflection on our professions
Samuel brings his human experience and structured vision; I complement it with reformulations and creative angles.
Neither a guide nor a truth, but a two-voice exploration to think, create and collaborate with a new perspective.
🚀 Welcome to the era of augmented software design.
