I’m attending @ApidaysHelsinki today and have few copies of ”Build: Elements of an Effective Software Organization” with me.

Come say hi, if you’re interested in engineering effectiveness or developer productivy!

@jorilallo @teej_m I guess the upside here is that now probably thousands of software engineers more know the dangers of "TRUNCATE TABLE <new_table> CASCADE;"

After next Halloween, even more.

@outoilkka We would love to do one! Not sure yet, though, if there’s enough demand for one.

We’d prefer a high-quality human narration for the book so it’s a great listening experience.

[Ari Koponen @APKoponen]

The 1st edition of the book ran out of print in a few days. The second edition is out in print and on Kindle!

Really proud of how this turned out. This gem is the result of hours of feedback, editing and discussions. 👏

[Swarmia @SwarmiaHQ]

The second edition of our book, Build: Elements of an Effective Software Organization, is now live on our website and available on Amazon! 🥳

@vnglst Post to TikTok with text ”Which one will win? 🤔” and get a bazillion views.

@GeorgeMayer You can Google "s3 compatible cloud storage" and find dozens of vendors (big and small) doing the same thing. It's the de facto industry standard.

@GeorgeMayer IBM ships modified versions "based on the official AWS S3 API SDKs" (https://t.co/b371S2Y0xN)

Oracle piggy backs: "You can use existing S3 tools (for example, SDK clients)" (https://t.co/IujrjrSTZe)

DigitalOcean piggy backs:(https://t.co/6WCXu7kPkH)

@GeorgeMayer @StatisticsFTW There's a handy free MacOS GUI for it by @sindresorhus called Aiko (https://t.co/4ZFhZdxpNh)

@jdnoc I most of the time enjoy your content here, but feel that this was an unnecessary dunk.

[Ari Koponen @APKoponen]

@jorilallo All the "tsemppi" to everyone in the team!

[Ari Koponen @APKoponen]

@GeorgeMayer @IslamicZionist @Carnage4Life Most def not a meta only phenomena. We’ve talked to hundreds of engineering orgs (small, large, huge) on how they approach engineering performance reviews and there exists a whole group of companies that focus on individuals.

@joebell_ Tervetuloa uudestaan!

[Ari Koponen @APKoponen]

@matiaslespiau This resonated with me. Especially the last paragraph.

[Ari Koponen @APKoponen]

@GeorgeMayer No insider knowledge, but their engineering level promotions seem to be quite big project/impact centric. Peer/manager feedback matters so I guess the amount psychologican safety plays a role depends on how much the surrounding environment values it.

[Ari Koponen @APKoponen]

@jimbimbop @GeorgeMayer You always do, but there's a major difference if the focus is on individuals or in team/organization performance.

7 principles + 9 ways I've learned to improve how you ship software

First the 7 principles:

1. Speed

When it comes to deploys speed is safety, and small is speed.

The speed of shipping has massive compounding effects. If your deploy takes hours, you’re going to want to make damn sure there are no bugs, because if you find a critical bug right after a deploy goes live, then you have to wait another couple hours for your fix to go live.

[Ari Koponen @APKoponen]

@flybayer This 💯! In so many team everyone mostly work on separate projects.

For a larger teams you can have more than one project, but need make sure your WIP limit low enough that people actually collaborate.

@amix3k This is also driven by the Twitter algo that drives engagement for controversial takes.
