Transforming to an Engineering Culture of Curiosity With a Modern Observability 2.0 Solution

Honeycomb

While helpful in pinpointing known-unknowns, it impeded the team’s ability to explore the workings of the software, particularly in uncovering unknown-unknowns. It also fell short in supporting an engineering culture of ownership and curiosity within the organization, exacerbated by the pricing model.

Grown-Up Lean

LeanEssays

He describes “some surprising theories about software engineering”: I discuss these theories in terms of two fundamentally different development styles, the "cathedral" model of most of the commercial world versus the "bazaar" model of the Linux world. If you give software engineers manual work, their first instinct is to automate it.

Simulation Theory, Observability, and Modern Software Practices

Honeycomb

In software, this can be likened to the parts of the system we do not fully understand or monitor. This is where the concept of Service Level Objectives (SLOs) in software engineering is analogous to the remainder—the aspects of reality that cannot be fully captured, controlled, or represented by our symbolic systems.

The Best Product Engineering Org in the World

James Shore

Software engineering productivity cant be measured. Its a big spreadsheet which describes each title in our engineering organization, along with the skills required to reach each title. For example, Associate Software Engineers are hired fresh out of university. This is a big cultural shift!

Panel Discussion: Teams, Processes, and Practices in DevOps

LaunchDarkly

That’s fascinating because it touches on so much of what you know and I’ve been in software engineering for a couple of decades now, a couple of days, decades, but sounds like couple of days. Like you need tools that respect that responsibility, that respect your time. I guess is what I would say. That’s great.
