Kevlin Henney and I were riffing on some ideas about GitHub Copilot , the tool for automatically generating code base on GPT-3’s language model, trained on the body of code that’s in GitHub. This article poses some questions and (perhaps) some answers, without trying to present any conclusions. First, we wondered about code quality. There are lots of ways to solve a given programming problem; but most of us have some ideas about what makes code “good” or “bad.”

People’s sense of urgency varies. Schedule the finish to get everyone on the same page. It’s a common leadership frustration that we’ve experienced and hear from leaders regularly: “My people lack a sense of urgency. I must follow up on everything or we miss deadlines. I’m tired of babysitting! How can I ensure things get done on time?” Paradoxically, leaders with a high internal sense of urgency can struggle with this the most.

Conway’s Law states an organization will design systems that reflect that organization’s communication structure. In other words, how we make a product manifests in the product itself. Is it any surprise that overall our industry is terrible at accessibility? It’s illogical to expect that accessible products would spring forth from an inaccessible developer experience.

If you’ve used a traditional metrics dashboard, you’ve used a time series database.

Let’s be frank — creating a lasting data culture in your company isn’t going to happen overnight. No technology you install or datasets you gather will do that for you. You need time and, as we’ve seen across pop culture, it usually takes a new idea or innovation (or an old idea packaged as new) to change culture. This change usually falls on data leaders to drive because they have a unique perspective across data, technology, and the organization.

DevOps is about continuously compiling, producing, and deploying artifacts, but there's little thought given to the practice's impact on your operation's carbon footprint—especially as you scale. Think about the cycle: Whenever a coder makes a change, it gets submitted to a software repository. That kicks off an automatic process where the change is run through compilers and linked with other modules and then tested.

In my tenure as a solution architect in financial services working for a global consulting firm, I have often questioned the best way to practice enterprise architecture.
