Last year, I enjoyed reading a new and provocative book that explores a new way to think not only about some aspects of life but about everything. Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown brings this new perspective, but is it right? Can we apply it to software development? The short answer is: yes. Furthermore, you can do it more efficiently, and in this post, we'll explain how with the essentialism methodology.
When we talk about software engineering, it might have several approaches and definitions. This post will use my favorite one from Modern Software Engineering by Dave Farley.
