That is if you want high speed, you must build high quality systems. If you want high quality systems, you must build them quickly as a series of small changes. This is what the data says, and when you stop and think about this, the reasons are pretty clear. 11/17

I wrote a barely technical article on using bookmarklets in your mobile browser. Learning about this earlier this year has made using a phone browser much nicer. jakemccrary.com/blog/2022/11/1…

What if we stopped saying "Technical Debt" and talked about the actual thing? Is it an escaped defect, infrastructure upgrade, shoddy code..? Builders don't have "structural debt", surgeons "surgical debt", or gardeners "botanical debt". #agile

That about sums up what I know about pair programming. Also, the things you label as “weird” are the most strategically important.

Old coworker of mine was part of a small team that put out radiopaper.com . Pretty looking site and an interesting idea. Looking forward to giving it a shot radiopaper.com/JakeMcCrary

every software engineer's dream is to get rich, buy that goat farm in the country, and then retire to the server room in the basement of the goat farm so they can actually finally write code

In 1999, a little book by @KentBeck started explaining Extreme Programming (XP) to the masses. 23 years later, it's still true to every word. But we, the developers, chose to ignore half of its learnings. In this thread 🧵I'll fix that for you. 👇👇👇
