Want to speed up development? Shorten feedback loops! 1. Design to dev 2. Pushes to deploys 3. Code change to seeing result on the screen 4. Lint to catch errors as you type 5. Empower devs to make decisions then ask for feedback instead of waiting for product 6. Smaller teams

A lot of programmers make the mistake of thinking the way you make code flexible is by predicting as many future uses as possible, but this paradoxically leads to *less* flexible code. The only way to achieve flexibility is to make things as simple and easy to change as you can.

Milk delivery 25 years ago was essentially a subscription service offering products with recyclable/reusable packaging, delivered by electric vehicles. Part of me thinks that if a techie firm were to have proposed this same idea today people would think it was incredible.

Microservices, monolithic apps, apis and spas, and even client server. I think we as an industry are still looking for a magic bullet and when we accept that there is no such thing, we'll all be better for it. That's why we design, because no two solutiond are the same.

Yes, VSCode, I definitely wanted you to update every reference to an npm module in every JS file to those paths...

@sandimetz's TRUE diagnostics…simple ways to judge the goodness of code…an inversion of @unclebobmartin's rigid, fragile, immobile, viscous, design smells…instead of describing (potentially) bad code…these describe good code…qualities code should have slideshare.net/pjschwarz/true…

Hey @Ocado my order #3262639510 shows as delivered on your website. Except I don't have it. A little concerning. Care to explain?

I believe that the principles of good programming are more important than what language we code in. I'd rather work with well-written JavaScript than badly-written Smalltalk.

Some of the absolute worst code is written by very smart and capable engineers who are using tools they don’t need to reduce complexity that doesn’t exist while trying to solve problems they don’t have.

The idea that you can’t be a great software engineer without a CS degree is nonsense. The idea that there’s no value in spending three years studying the fundamentals of our field is also nonsense.
