@NotMyAgile Otherwise, it has to wait a week for the next refinement session, so that it can be planned for the next sprint in two weeks!

The agile manifesto says:

"We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it."

NOT

"We know the one true way to manage the software lifecycle. We don't actually write software, but we can certify you."

@NotMyAgile You forgot about sub tasks! They have to be identified, estimated, assigned and committed to during the refinement meeting.

[Tim Ottinger @tottinge]

One of the hallmarks of good agile development, perhaps the thing that separates it from poor agile attempts, is the attention to design.

A good agile team will design continuously and refactor to the new designs. A poor team will just bolt on new stuff blindly.

[Alex Fedorov | Fractional CTO | FinTech Expert @tdd_fellow]

Are you confusing 'refactoring' with 'rewriting'? Stop! Refactoring is about changing the structure without altering behavior. A simple name change can be a refactoring step; rewriting the whole module is not. #Refactoring #SoftwareEngineering #ContinuousImprovement

Agile isn't dead, but it is widely misunderstood and more unusual than most people think.

@HansDeLeenheer @tdpauw PRs, statistically, increase risk, assuming that they are less frequent than daily and according to the data from State of DevOps reports. So if the engineer deems the risk to be high, they should avoid them.

[Ignacy Sokołowski @[email protected] @ignacy]

@jasongorman Oh yes. And IntelliJ IDEA doesn’t support it for Kotlin. I had to find a workaround which takes a couple of additional steps, one of which is manual.

"It's hard to predict what this dice will roll."
"Well, then, you need to get better at predicting."

Conventional wisdom about software development processes - that unpredictable work needs better estimates, not a more predictable way of working.

@IgorskiCo @davefarley77 @KentBeck CD is literally principle 1. “Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer
through early and continuous delivery
of valuable software.”

Same! The most important thing I have ever learned is to take tiny little baby steps

[Dave Farley @davefarley77]

What is the most important thing that I have learned in my career as a software developer?

I confess that I am not a big fan of "The Test Pyramid" so here's a #Thread on what I think is a better focus for your automated testing strategy...
