FYI – The maturity model presented in this post is based on the concept of Continuous Reliability, which you can read more about here. Software reliability is a big deal, especially at the enterprise level, but too often companies are flying blind when it comes to the overall quality and reliability of their applications. It seems like every week, there’s a new report in the news calling out another massive software failure.

A common debate in software development projects is between spending time on improving the quality of the software versus concentrating on releasing more valuable features. Usually the pressure to deliver functionality dominates the discussion, leading many developers to complain that they don't have time to work on architecture and code quality. But the counter-intuitive reality is that internal software quality removes the cruft that slows down developing new features, thus decreasing the cost

I like to use Test-Driven Development (TDD) when coding. However, in some circumstances, TDD is more of a hinderance than a help. This happens when how to solve the problem is not clear. Then it is better to first write a solution and evaluate if it solves the problem. Writing tests only makes sense after the solution is viable. Last week, I came across examples of where I developed new functionality without using TDD.

There’s a role a leader must play that in this day and age is even more important than being a teacher or mentor. It’s the role of a plumber. Yep, a plumber. Think about this for a minute – a plumber deals with pressure and flow all the time –in this case as it pertains to water. How that water is pressure controlled and directed is critical to the overall performance of a water circulation system, especially when heated water is involved.

Recent years have seen an explosion of interest in the microservices architectural style, which has become popular due to its ability to allow customer-oriented teams to build and deploy software independently. A common problem such teams face, however, is how to integrate their work into the user-interface, since these are often monolithic frontend codebases.

What a great book Designing Data-Intensive Applications is! It covers databases and distributed systems in clear language, great detail and without any fluff. I particularly like that the author Martin Kleppmann knows the theory very well, but also seems to have a lot of practical experience of the types of systems he describes. There is so much to learn for me in this book, so I have summarized the main points from each chapter, with a special emphasis on what I found most interesting.

Since I started building up a tech team for Better , I made a very conscious decision to pay at the high end to get people. I thought this made more sense: they cost a bit more money to hire, but output usually more than compensates for it. Many fellow CTOs, some went for the other side of the spectrum: bootcamps and campus recruiting are great recruiting grounds for them.

When we say “technical debt”, what’s the first thing that comes to your mind? Is it the accumulation of code in an outdated system that’s seen changes from tens, or even hundreds, of developers over the years? Is it a codebase with poorly-written methods following convoluted logic and hard-to-follow patches for production issues?
