🚨 WoB pattern: Multi-Agent Corporate Roleplay (BMAD)

Why write 50 lines of TypeScript when an AI Product Owner can write a 10,000-word PRD for an AI Architect to delegate to an AI Developer?

We've successfully automated the worst parts of Scrum! It's Executable Jira, but you pay per word. Enjoy trading deterministic compiler errors for prompt hallucinations and astronomical token bills!

For some weekend fun:

🚨 WoB PATTERN: Distributed Monolith

"Why call a method locally when you can send a synchronous HTTP request across three availability zones?"

The result of taking a spaghetti code base and throwing it across the network. Now you have the same coupling, but with added network latency and serialization overhead.

worstofbreed.net received two excellent additions to the archive recently. Thanks to Daniel and @stealthmusic for documenting the madness.

Both submissions have one in common: Excessive Granularity. We are observing teams drowning in repositories, pipelines, and YAML configurations, all in the name of "decoupling."

WoB PATTERN: K8s for a Static Site

> "We host our company blog on an HA Kubernetes cluster with Service Mesh and GitOps. For scalability."

★ YAML Fatigue: To fix a typo in the HTML, 14 YAML manifests must pass through a CI/CD pipeline that updates 3 clusters.

S3 + CloudFront: $0.50/month
This setup: $5,000 + 3 admins
Resume Value: GODLIKE ☸️

I registered worstofbreed.net in 2008. It gathered dust for almost 18 years.

Today it's finally live with the Tech Horror Radar 2025 -- a satirical take on ThoughtWorks' Tech Radar for anti-patterns we keep running into.

This isn't about mocking teams -- it's about making these patterns easier to spot and discuss.
