Modern problems require modern solutions, right?
The problem is, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to understand what solutions are required for a given problem and even harder to task a team with finding them.
Is your team as productive as can be? We tend to be most productive while using tools we know and like best; that's why in the majority of dev teams, you're free to code with your weapon of choice (aka IDE). So no matter if you're utterly loyal to VS Code or you're a die-hard-JetBrains fan: these 5 cross-IDE tools are definitely worth checking out!
Every morning, I see the unfiltered thoughts of 1200+ engineering leaders as one of the community moderators in the Dev Interrupted Discord server. We start every day with a Daily Interruption topic about how to make agile work in real life; scaling teams, building culture, hiring, continuous improvement, metrics - fun stuff like that.
Recently this Daily Interruption popped up and stopped me in my tracks:
The second and final episode of Dev Interrupted's two- part series with Senior Google Staff Engineers Hyrum Wright and Titus Winters has premiered.
If you haven't listened to their first episode, I highly recommend checking it out. Both guests bring a deep understanding of software engineering to the show: Hyrum is semi-famous as the "Hyrum" of Hyrum's Law; while Titus is responsible for managing 250 million lines of code and over 12,000 developers.
This week on the Dev Interrupted podcast, I spoke with my fellow DZone core mate Ray Elenteny, Principle Owner at Solutech Consulting, about the ways he's seen people game metrics and the "why" behind each:
So whether you're trying to game your own metrics (don't do it!) or solve culture issues that have lead to this issue at your organization, give this episode a listen:
I was 24 years old. A baby.
Three years into my software engineering career and loving it.
No wonder. It was invented almost 30 years ago and we're still running it the exact same way.
When daily stand-up meetings started in the early 90s, the software development process looked very different. Git didn't exist. Jira didn't exist. Collaboration tools didn't really exist. DevOps didn't exist. Automation tools didn't exist. Analytics tools didn't exist.
