While our engineering teams have and continue to build solutions to lighten this cognitive load (better guardrails, improved tooling, …), data and its derived products are critical elements to understanding, optimizing and abstracting our infrastructure. What will be the cost of rolling out the winning cell of an AB test to all users?

There are shadow IT teams of developers or data engineers that spring up in areas like operations or marketing because the captive IT function is slow, if not outright incapable, of responding to internal customer demand. There are also shadow activities of large software delivery programs. The scope taken out of the 1.0

On one hand, ops groups are in a good position to do this; they’re already heavily invested in testing, monitoring, version control, reproducibility, and automation. This has important implications for testing. In the last two decades, a tremendous amount of work has been done on testing and building test suites.

Lastly, we will talk about the internal platform and product divide – one key reason why data pipeline initiatives typically fail – and why it is better working backward from the product. Unfortunately, building data pipelines remains a daunting, time-consuming, and costly activity. A data pipeline is a software which runs on hardware.

Fetishizing unit testing. Agile is not, and never was, about getting developers to write software faster. 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. What is modern Agile?
