Estimating is a Learned Skill

Herding Cats

The primary purpose of software estimation is not to predict a project’s outcome; it is to determine whether a project’s targets are realistic enough to allow the project to be controlled to meet them ‒ Steve McConnell. Planning and Executing Time-Bound Projects,” Eduardo Miranda, IEEE Computer , March 2002, pp. 5 Oct 1990, Page 21.

Defensive Programming Grows Up

Leading Agile

People who specialize in testing software will need technical skills more-or-less on par with competent software engineers. In a 2002 piece entitled The Law of Leaky Abstractions , Joel Spolsky observed that abstractions over any implementation can leak details of that implementation. Contracts vs. Promises.

What’s Worse Than Not Automating Your Software Delivery Pipeline?

Leading Agile

Monitoring production systems to detect common and predictable problems. observability, to support automated production system monitoring and recovery. You probably remember the case of the Volkswagen software engineer who was sentenced to prison for writing code that enabled vehicles to pass emissions tests fraudulently.
