Honeycomb

FEBRUARY 9, 2021

I’ve got a ton of personal reasons for joining Honeycomb that may not be worth being all public about, but after thinking for a while, I realized that many of the things I personally found interesting could point towards attitudes that result in better software elsewhere. Someone who can work in both software engineering and automation.

The path of a software engineer is one of constant learning. Before joining CircleCI, my years of experience led me to believe that I was an engineer with a firm understanding of the technical aspects of the craft, as well as what is considered good practice. CircleCI showed me that I had still more to learn.

The rollercoaster of 2020 highlighted the competitive advantage that well-oiled software delivery teams provide. The minute COVID-19 hit and everyone had to become not just remote-first, but remote-only, many engineering teams were forced to reckon with the number of manual processes they had in place. Where is it going to tip over?

Lean was introduced to software a couple of decades ago. The Nature of Software “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail” -- Ralph Waldo Emerson It’s May 27, 1997. I show that these models derive from opposing assumptions about the nature of the software-debugging task.

VPs of Engineering often have a lot of influence over both company culture and policy, and the decisions our companies make ripple outside of the companies themselves. The whole tech industry would benefit from more perspectives in this role. A generalist streak. A genuine joy in seeing teammates level up.

Running untrusted code in-process and ensuring it doesn’t spend too long executing and doesn’t block the whole process. As an engineer based in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa), I usually start my work day earlier than folks in the Pacific time zone. Improving our data pipeline. Pairing sessions also help a lot too.

For example, in a cross-functional team that is working on a new product development, one member may be actually responsible for market research while the others work on coding, testing and product’s implementation, etc. For example, the UX designer may closely work with the developer to ensure the software’s interface is user-friendly.

Any significant shift in an organization’s software engineering culture has the potential to feel tectonic, and observability (o11y for short)—or more specifically, Observability Driven Development —is no different. This is why we highly encourage all teams to instrument their code to emit telemetry data. .

It can be network latency, network flapping, buggy software. This still technically runs but it’s on its way out. There’s just a lot of lack of diligence, is what I’d call it, in our services. It’s not good software. There are other types of failures that you should be thinking about. Things break.
