The argument that "we need to use microservices to get hard boundaries between components," is really "we are so undisciplined that we need to add considerable complexity to protect ourselves from ourselves." →

"How long is it going to take to drive?" "Drive where?" "Nobody knows, we just need to know how long it is going to take." ...I'm too sad, you finish this...

It's ok if you started programming at 8. It's ok if you started programming at 38. You can still get out. Run.

One of the biggest problems of story-hierarchy thinking (e.g. "epics" as a bag of stories) is that they encourage you to do low-value work. An "epic" is, if anything, a broad new capability. Implementing that capability involves dozens of stories, maybe more. 1/2

Agility ≠ Speed "Teams have created currencies of story points and have ritualised development velocity. They have mistaken a weak proxy measure as a meaningful system of estimation, an indication of progress and a mark of quality. This is not agility." kevlinhenney.medium.com/agility-speed-…

My one complaint about Catch2 is it has ruined every other test framework that I try to use. Why are they all so complex... 😭

@Dixie3Flatline @TheAnkurTyagi We’re the digital construction workers of this generation. We build things. Hopefully we build them well. Hopefully the things we build will last. But there’s no reason to elevate our work any higher than that of a carpenter, mason, or gardener. No reason other than insecurity.

I’ve started referring to legacy code as vintage code and it feels so much better.
