Coding and teaching stuff at @elapsetech

[Hyrum Wright @hyrumwright]

I am thankful for the opportunity to teach: at home, at work, and wherever people are willing to learn together. I am not the smartest or most capable person around, but I'm excited by the learning that comes from teaching.

#GiveThanks

@tomas_tulka @allenholub If by "companies that can't release often because of regulatory reasons" you mean something like the US Department of Defense, well it looks like it's still possible: https://t.co/Owk4yffRYt

Most regulations can be automated or simply removed. But it's a slow process!

Nous sommes très fiers du lancement de nos 2 premières cohortes pour notre nouvelle offre de cours en ligne!

Nous avons prévu une nouvelle cohorte pour "TDD et Tests unitaires" et pour "Architecture web maintenable et testable" à la fin du mois de juillet.

[Ian Létourneau @ianlet15]

@jbrains @jwgrenning @emilybache @cyberdojo We also started using Teachable in combination with other tools to host private coaching lessons for our courses on TDD and Maintainable web architecture.

We quickly hit limitations, so we're not sure we'll keep it for a long time. But as said @jbrains it's a good start.

I have never seen an “Agile maturity model” that did not lead to considerable dysfunction. Truly agile organizations develop their own context-specific ways of working. A “maturity” model assumes a “correct” way to do things and a consistent evolutionary path. 1/2

@davenicolette @emilybache @davefarley77 We teach TDD in our class, but as we are the only one doing it in the whole program it doesn't stick. Some students try it but just a few take it seriously. Then most of them think they're doing TDD but what they're really doing is writing some "unit" tests after production code.

Given the isolation of working at home, let's have shorter standups twice a day to coordinate better. Wait. Maybe more often is even better! Maybe at the start of every hour. Wait. Why don't we just work collaboratively and skip the standups entirely?

Ces jours-ci, le télétravail devient la nouvelle norme. Elapse vous propose donc un aide-mémoire pour les équipes de développement 100% distribuées. Vous devriez y retrouver des conseils et des astuces pour faciliter votre transition.

@johncutlefish Not only B2B, not only startups, unfortunately. Most of the teams I worked with are not aware of the complexity of their solutions compared to the problem they are blindly solving. Resulting in fat architectures that are too expensive to build, operate, maintain or change.

Merci à tous ceux qui sont venus découvrir comment mettre Votre Architecture au Régime et pour les commentaires! Vous pouvez retrouver les slides ici: https://t.co/WAZplt5zR3 #ConFoo @confooca

[ConFoo Developer Conference @confooca]

@ianlet15 Ian Létourneau met notre architecture au régime 🍏��� #ConFoo

[Ian Létourneau @ianlet15]

À 15h cet après-midi, j'adresse le problème du poids de nos architectures et comment mettre Votre Architecture au Régime au @confooca ! 💪 #confoo

@MarioKusek @WoodyZuill @flavorjones @tottinge @olilafleur is now teaching mostly by doing mob programming. I think he started doing this last year.

[Ian Létourneau @ianlet15]

@MarioKusek @flavorjones @tottinge Not that I know of but you can watch one of @WoodyZuill's talk on the subject. I think the idea behind this talk is more important than mob programming itself https://t.co/H4eRIRfgYj

[Ian Létourneau @ianlet15]

@flavorjones @tottinge Just try! You can use roles like https://t.co/Dpj3BOCuZ6 to help you get started mobbing. And do short retrospectives of your mobs to learn what works best for you.
Tips: have sticky notes ready to "park" something not valuable to the mob that can be done later individually.

[Ian Létourneau @ianlet15]

Très hâte à dans 1 mois pour présenter comment mettre Votre Architecture au Régime au #ConFoo à Montr��al ! https://t.co/X2UCAfhcaJ @confooca

On résume notre formation sur la Clean Architecture de Robert c. Martin! D'autres parties à venir.

Test Desiderata 2/12: tests should be insensitive to the structure of the code they are testing. https://t.co/D9FtRtPuQC

I find it amusing that those who claim to be using DDD and teaching others how to use DDD aren't willing to look up the meaning of a word in a dictionary. Takes less time to find than tweet.

DDD is not about aggregates and invisible messaging. It's about language in a context.
