I wish this article had existed when I started my software career. It would've saved my a lot of grief over the years. It's a bit sad that useful contributions that aren't in the top priorities get ignored but it's the way it is. seangoedecke.com/party-trick…

I've worked in a million lines of code codebase with thousands of engineers for ten years and I completely agree with Sean's advice here: seangoedecke.com/large-estab…

I write a review to one of my biggest pleasant surprises in game of the last years "Intravenous" by @spnidelman. You can check out the review on my substack: corerunner.substack.com/p/in…

I’ve looked at a lot of software developer job postings recently, and one thing has become very clear to me: modern developers are supposed to be jacks-of-all-trades. I think this is a mistake and hence explore the topic in detail in my new blog post: thinkingsideways.net/people/…

A hairstylist in my neighborhood just got arrested for selling drugs. I’ve been a customer for years. I had no idea she was a hairstylist.

I've had software quality on my mind lately. More precisely, I 've thought about what exactly the term means, how we can improve it, and about any potential tradeoffs. You can read the details in my new blogpost: thinkingsideways.net/testing…

I just finished reading "it doesn't have to be crazy at work" by @dhh and @jasonfried. It's a wonderful book that I highly recommend. The idea of building a calm company is so brilliant that I wonder why this isn't just the default.

It's quite amusing that the term "clean code" can now mean "code I like" as well as "overengineered code I hate" depending on who uses it.

Even though most people will probably agree that software documentation is important, the topic of how to do it best is quite underdiscussed. Hence, I decided to do something about it and discuss the topic in my new blog post: thinkingsideways.net/process…

I think that software performance doesn't actually matter that much as there is a lot of very successful slow software around. We may not like it but there just seems to be no demand for quick software. I've written more about this in my now blog post. Link below 👇

Most hard problems in software development are people problems instead of technical ones. Solving these problems can be painful and difficult. Sometimes, we can use modularization and increased empowerment as a mitigation technique: thinkingsideways.net/people/…

If we look at currently successful software, we have to conclude that customers don't care about performance. Otherwise, there would be a turbo @Jira or a turbo @ServiceNow tearing up the market.
