Engineering Culture Programming Software Engineering

There are a few qualities that differentiate average from high performing software engineering organisations. In my experience, the culture is better and the results are better in orgs where engineers and architects obsess over the design of code and architecture. So we need to make it part of everything we do.

It’s been a fascinating opportunity to rebuild an engineering organization from the inside, and I’m loving every minute. We’re introducing a lot of cutting-edge software development practices, such as self-organizing vertically-scaled teams and Extreme Programming. Culture doesn’t change easily. It tends to snap back.

Software engineering productivity cant be measured. We use Extreme Programming as our model of how to develop software. You see, Extreme Programming is too. Its a big spreadsheet which describes each title in our engineering organization, along with the skills required to reach each title.

PDF) Culture Changes The purpose of the new career ladder is to help change the engineering culture at OpenSesame. Just as the ladder sets new expectations of engineers, the management track sets new expectations for managers, with material about managing the system rather than just managing the work.

It seems every week there is an article or blog post decrying the lack of women and people of color in software engineering, or on the other side defending the gap. At LaunchDarkly I have experienced similar intellectual honesty, one of the many facets of our outstanding engineering culture.
