GitHub Copilot (based on a model named Codex , which is derived from GPT-3) generates code in a number of programming languages, based on comments that the user writes. Going in the other direction, GPT-3 has proven to be surprisingly good at explaining code. In the 1950s, computers were programmed in machine language.

I’ve heard the opinion from many technical leaders that it is reasonable to expect a new hire to take upto 6 months to learn about the code, the domain, and the architecture before they become fully productive. I believe that self-documenting architecture would dramatically reduce one of the big costs in software development.

In previous blogs , we have explored the power of the digital twin model for stateful stream-processing. Digital twins are software abstractions that track the behavior of individual devices in IoT applications. They combine an event handling function with state information about each device.

Here’s a typical telematics architecture for processing telemetry from a fleet of trucks: Each truck today has a microprocessor-based sensor hub which collects key telemetry, such as vehicle speed and acceleration, engine parameters, trailer parameters, and more. Solution: Real-Time Digital Twins.

There are a few qualities that differentiate average from high performing software engineering organisations. I believe that attitude towards the design of code and architecture is one of them. I love pair programming and mobbing because every small decision is debated and challenged. My experience is the opposite.

I’ve been disappointed for a long time with the way in which companies organise software development teams. I remember as a young, naive software developer, I assumed there would be structured processes and patterns similar to those used for designing a software architecture.

If you are not familiar with the functional programming or data storage concepts that come up, talk to one of your developers who do. Stories like this one will resonate with everyone who has felt the effect of broken management models and processes. This is another place where the book will be a great tool for your journey.

Specialisation could be around products, business process, or technologies. One way to create a Spotify model inspired engineering organisation is to organise long-lived squads by retail business process hubs - i.e. specialisation around business process. Let's take an example of retail as a domain of interest. Certainly not.

Writing code for one vendor platform does not make it portable or simple to move elsewhere. Custom tooling could simply be a shell script or cron job that is unique to a build process, but starts a chain of existing tools provided by various vendors. The second biggest challenge was “vendor lock-in.” Concluding thoughts.

Fetishizing pair programming. If you were involved with professional programming in the 80s and 90s, you may remember how radical it was (and, in many shops, still is) to put software developers in touch with users and customers. It’s not about getting software developers to write code faster. What is modern Agile?
