One of the biggest time costs in software development is understanding how a system works. Systems are getting more complex yet our ability to understand them doesn’t seem to be growing at the same rate. As we continuously develop software systems, the complexity slowly increases and we don’t fully realise it.

Considerations for setting the architectural foundations for a fast data platform. We live in the era of the connected experience, where our daily interactions with the world can be digitized, collected, processed, and analyzed to generate valuable insights. Accumulating all this data to process overnight is not an option anymore.

Most of what we do on our computers—fancy graphics, email, databases, building websites, data analysis, digital signal processing—can’t be done with quantum computing. I was introduced to programming in 1972, on computers that were incredibly small by modern standards—but they were still useful. Certainly not now, and possibly never.

Martin Fowler argues that internal quality of a software system enables new features and improvements to be delivered more sustainably. I love pair programming and mobbing because every small decision is debated and challenged. This necessitates a good understanding of the domains the software represents.

If you are not familiar with the functional programming or data storage concepts that come up, talk to one of your developers who do. Over the course of days she follows the flow of that ticket through departmental silos and multiple tracking systems. This is another place where the book will be a great tool for your journey.

As noted earlier, the majority of survey respondents are software engineers. These are not system administrators whose job it is to worry about keeping software patched, secured, and managed. This scaling takes away the worry from random and unexpected traffic spikes or big seasonal traffic. Concluding thoughts.

While there isn’t an authoritative definition for the term, it shares its ethos with its predecessor, the DevOps movement in software engineering: by adopting well-defined processes, modern tooling, and automated workflows, we can streamline the process of moving from development to robust production deployments.

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.

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.
