Coding dojo: Palindromes

Aug 19, 2015 - 1 minute read - Comments - clientcoding-dojojavapalindromefacilitationfacilitator

At a client, today I’ve facilitated a coding dojo on palindrome searching.

I’ve prepared a github repository for the java solutions. In this repository, the tag start-here has the prepared pom with dependencies.

We have paired to work on the kata but none of my teammate’s solutions are available (at the moment), but mine is at the master branch.

Disclaimer about AI/GenAI

As of 2026-05-06, the text in these articles and blog entries has been written without AI/GenAI, except I sometimes use a spellchecker to fix errors. Think Word's spellchecker, not ChatGPT.

Notes, as of today (2026-05-06):

  • No code snippet has been automatically generated, nor vibe-coded, nor generated and reviewed.
  • I don’t have any article with AI contribution.

For future entries:

  • I may have used GenAI for the code in the repo. The code I exemplify/copy in the article will always be reviewed and tested, not vibe-coded. I will specify it in each snippet or at the top/bottom of the article.
  • I normally don't use it for the text contents, although if I have used it for the article text, it would be indicated as such.

Any entry before 2026-05-06 does not contain any AI/GenAI.
