When one of the hardest things in our industry is naming things, it is easy for us to disagree on what words mean as language changes over time and space. The terms 'craftsmanship' and 'engineering' are some that we stru

A cross-functional team is one that has all the necessary people to build and ship a product without having to wait on people outside of the team. But having those people on the team isn't the whole story; how the team w

Practices co-evolve with activities. As we (as in industry) increasingly use AI tools, how will this change our existing practices and what new ones will emerge? In this episode, Allan and Dave discuss practices that we'

Most software engineers work on teams sharing their code with others. Yet significant portion of people in our industry never elevate their level of code collaboration beyond code reviews (often in the form of pull reque

Software patterns are sort of like recipes which offer solutions for particular problems. Familiarity with patterns allows you to speak at high levels of abstraction, communicating a lot of information without having to

In order to create really great software, we need more than just coding knowledge. This is why most teams are structured to include and benefit from people with other specialties. What do we expect from these other disci

Learning and developing skills is vital in the software industry. But evaluating where you are at and how to take the next step can be difficult. In this episode, your hosts share two models for skill acquisition: Shuhar

Coupling and cohesion are fundamental design considerations, but when sitting down to build a system we often find we need additional guidance. SOLID is a mnemonic for five important principles which help us lower our co

Kanban boards have appeared and settled in to the software development world over the last decade or so. And yet, many people use them daily without ever having been exposed to the Lean concepts behind them. In this epis

Lean teaches us that there are two distinct types of efficiency: resource (being busy) and flow (delivering value). Unfortunately, many organizations are so focused on staying busy that they don't have any capacity to im

How much does software cost? How do you know if you can afford to build what you want to build? In this episode, Dave and Allan discuss how to figure out your fully burdened cost and then use that rate as a way to judge

Optimization is a word that sounds so good. Sometimes we get an idea which we believe will be an improvement to the code and want to just go ahead and implement it. But often these are premature optimizations; changes th
