Have you ever been confused by the Event Storming notation? Then read my most recent blog post. In addition to providing an overview of the notation, it explains its logic and how it can be used to map out business processes. #ddd agiledojo.de/2023-04-14-even…

I’ve been using these diagrams for so long I forget that other people don’t know the notation. When we are understanding systems it helps to understand how one effect affects another. Sometimes more of one effect causes more of another (more errors causes more fear).

Many of the software engineers I talked to told me that they practice TDD out of guilt. That's not right, we need a different way to think about TDD. I've been practising TDD for almost a decade, here's how I currently think about it:

Replying to @allenholub
Agreed. Micro services are not an architecture, they are a deployment strategy; and not often a very good one.

Did you know there was a "Destruction Oriented Era" 💣 in software testing history? Published a brief post about the history of softwaretesting: dev.to/askui/a-brief-history… #SoftwareTesting #TestAutomation

Talking with a senior engineer I noticed a pattern. There were bugs. Nobody knew how many. They weren't on anyone's roadmap. So the engineer dug in. Discovered curious & horrifying facts. Discovered a lack of organizational urgency. Fixed stuff. Encouraged others to fix stuff.

Blog from @jaybazuzi about benefits you can get from using Arlo's Commit Notation. I was particularly attracted by the 'nudge' reason. I think I would benefit from having that reminder to break up changes. jay.bazuzi.com/why-acn/

Oh yeah, just write good Behavioral Specifications (or acceptance tests) and stop guesstimating.
If you're doing Scrum and estimating or breaking up stories into tasks, you may want to reconsider. From the horses mouth: 👇

Lieber @vodafoneservice . Seit 3 Monaten liegt nun das Glasfaserkabel vor unserer Hauswand und wartet auf den Innenanschluss. Die Hotline kann mir aber bis heute noch nicht einmal einen Termin dafür nennen. Come on, das könnt Ihr doch besser, oder?

Wow. ALL of these were released within 45 days of each other in 1991. Looking at today's music we have nothing similar.

What are some good engineering planning docs (e.g. design docs, RFCs, ERDs, ADRs) that you've seen? What structure did they have? If you have examples to share - either as a comment or in DMs - even better.
