Best Monday ever. @WoodyZuill giving talks at @hogiagroup all day.

[Martin Lassbo @martinlassbo]

@d_stepanovic Waaay to much focus on DRYness and premature abstractions. Waaay to little focus on loose coupling and isolation.

[Martin Lassbo @martinlassbo]

@WoodyZuill Makes me think of a mantra for humbleness I heard somewhere: I might be wrong, I might be wrong, I might be wrong...

@UxBjarne @SKrokfors Hyperspecialicering som leder till kunskapssilos, personberoenden och kasta över staketet beteende inte bra. Men specialisering som mentor och kunskapsbyggare bra.

@tottinge Our team/mob have 1-2 hours of "learning time" every day, inspired by @mob__mentality https://t.co/cUVYyZ9FKu. It is helpful to say the least and often feeds back into our work and process (the virtuous loop https://t.co/dBPAZDpE1f)

[Martin Lassbo @martinlassbo]

Ego Driven Development - I do whatever feels meaningful to me and give little thought to the impact on team throughout, team spirit or the cognitive load and stress level of my team mates

[Martin Lassbo @martinlassbo]

Recently performed a "hard team reset". Blank canvas, scrapped old habits, introduced #mobprogramming. Taking it from there. Feels good.

@SKrokfors @allenholub I think I lean towards some kind of week ownership model. E.g. If my team needs to make a change in some other teams domain we mob together. I like the idea of shared ownership but am concerned cognitive load would grow in order to make good decisions in many different domains.

[Martin Lassbo @martinlassbo]

@petikoch @techgreatness My image of mob programming is a steam roller, leaving a smooth paved path behind 😊

[Martin Lassbo @martinlassbo]

@d_stepanovic I can see the point in their argument but believe that mobbing usually covers most perspectives and the benefits of mobbing far outweigh the benefits async and fresh perspective. In rare cases perhaps both async and sync should be combined to get the best of both worlds.

@oskbo Äsch vi kör på fredag!

For each code change we should consider the cost of the change in comparison to the value of the change. The cost obviously includes the time it takes to produce the change but much more importantly it includes the cost of maintenance during the entire lifetime of the change. 1/6

[Martin Lassbo @martinlassbo]

Boring as it sounds, I think we need to be much more aware of the maintenance cost of code changes and avoid changes where the value vs cost comparison does not add up. 6/6

[Martin Lassbo @martinlassbo]

This is how we should start every semester.

Also, the question "does everyone have work to do?" should be banned.

[Martin Lassbo @martinlassbo]

"they get together to divide the work up into individual pieces so they can avoid talking to each other while coding".

I'm more and more questioning why this is still the common way to do things in our profession.

[Tim Ottinger @tottinge]

@rmcomplexity When they get together to divide the work up into individual pieces so they can avoid talking to each other while coding, and then hope to integrate it some day in the future?
That's a kind of collaborating, but also just turn-taking with some overlap.

[Martin Lassbo @martinlassbo]

@SKrokfors Jag gillar alla initiativ till att göra TDD på ett vettigt sätt :)

[Martin Lassbo @martinlassbo]

A bit ashamed to say this was a cleansing read for me. It washed away the last old crappy views I've had on testing.
