Purpose is a surer path to productivity than pressure. Pressure keeps knocking you off the path. Purpose keeps bringing you back onto the path.

The goal of software design is to create chunks or slices that fit into a human mind. The software keeps growing but the human mind maxes out, so we have to keep chunking and slicing differently if we want to keep making changes.

I noticed that you were measuring throughput variance, but you are only approved at agile competency level 2. Throughput variance doesn't start until level 3.

Make sure to set targets for code quality metrics. This creates pressure and teams need pressure to be properly motivated.

We need to allow for emergent architecture. So we've appointed a group of senior architects to design the architecture that will emergence.

I’m not sure the origin of this, but it’s good....

Record the original story point estimate. Then record the actual story points once the work is complete. Compare these in order to learn and improve your estimates.

What's a good book you've read recently you'd recommend to engineering leaders and why?

Show me a comment that improved the code, I'll show you a hint toward a refactoring.

When employees incorrectly believe that they're not allowed to do something, you have some choices:

* Explain to them how mistaken they are
* Change the environment so the truth is inherently obvious

One creates separation, the other fosters autonomy.

Your call.

I'm beginning to think that there's no such thing as a *core* domain.

Output != outcome but !output == !outcome.

Server-side Blazor is so last week...
Client-side Blazor? Meh.

Database-side Blazor is the new hotness! Execute components directly inside stored procedures!

[Jimmy Bogard is on Bluesky FYI @jbogard]

unit testing with in-memory (or mocked) databases is ultimately a bad idea since you're going to run the integration test with a real database anyway

[Kent Beck 🌻 @KentBeck]

How did we come back to believing that we can, that we must, predict the results of reversible decisions like refactoring?

We started a series of DDD coding katas. They focus on the temporal modelling in the domain of Transport Tycoon.
