Organizing teams around "coders" is an exercise in futility. True Developers take ownership and solve problems. True Engineers apply scientific rigor and ensure Continuous Delivery. What do you think? Are we enabling true engineering, or are we stuck in the "coder" mindset?

Refactoring isn’t optional. I hear teams talk about "refactoring sprints" or treating it as a luxury. That’s completely backwards. 1/6

Why Do Developers Struggle With Small, Simple Changes? | @davefarley77.bsky.social AVAILABLE NOW 📽️ Watch HERE ➡️ youtu.be/-bZJ_xiTyIU

Running tests contains a fundamental information asymmetry seemingly ignored by most test runners. Test passes? NBD Information value much less than one bit. At most, increment some counter you'll show me later. When a test fails, though, that's a big deal! Show me that for sure.

Why does small & simple not always come so easy to software developers? 🤔 I think there's one big problem and 3 fundamental worries that leads to this, but I also think that thinking like this helps us see an obvious better way forward. 📽️ Video on this tomorrow 7pm (UK) 😎

Do modern software practices actually scale or are we fooling ourselves? 🤔

BDD is the bridge between speed & clarity in modern software engineering. My free Ultimate BDD Guide shows you how to: ✅ Write scenarios that drive development ✅ Avoid common BDD traps ✅ Make AI code testable Grab it here 🔗 www.subscribepage.com/implement-bdd

Acceptance Testing is the Future of Programming. I truly believe that. Too many software teams treat testing as an afterthought and in a world where AI is increasingly writing our code, this mindset is dangerous. 1/4
