    068 - Wardley Mapping

    While exploring the concept of business strategy, Simon Wardley came up with a mapping concept to visualize the space you are playing in. In this episode, Allan and Dave explore a subset of these ideas and discuss how we've found them helpful in software development. We cover the basic concepts of a Wardley map, then how these maps can help us understand the changing landscape and make better technology decisions.

    067 - Decision Delegation

    Fear is the mind-killer, leaving us convinced that we cannot trust others to make decisions. But being the bottleneck for decision making only slows everything down. Delegating to other people helps them grow and be more fulfilled while also freeing up leaders to do more. In this episode, your hosts discuss the importance of delegation and a framework we've used to help provide clarity on how people participate along the spectrum of delegation.

    066 - Job Searching

    Finding your next job can be a difficult task. You need to know what you're looking for and how to sell yourself in your application and interviews. In this episode, Dave and Allan share what they've learned about job searching. We discuss networking, what to do and look for in interviews, and things to consider when deciding if you want the job or not.

    065 - Urgency

    'We need to instill a sense of urgency.' This is something we've heard in a few variations at different companies. Is a sense of urgency even a good thing to have on your team, or is it just undue pressure and anxiety? In this episode, Dave and Allan find that they disagree strongly about the semantics of that specific word, but still find a lot of common ground on what we think it should mean for teams.

    064 - Podcast Reflections

    Sixty-four episodes is a significant milestone (in powers of two)! In commemoration, Dave and Allan reflect back on how this podcast got started and some of the changes we made along the way to keep it going. We also share a few details about how we record, edit and publish. Most of all, we hope that we are providing something of value to our listeners.

    063 - Craftsmanship vs. Engineering

    When one of the hardest things in our industry is naming things, it is easy for us to disagree on what words mean as language changes over time and space. The terms 'craftsmanship' and 'engineering' are some that we struggle with and fight over. In this episode, Dave and Allan discuss the concept of semantic drift, what these terms mean to us, and how these terms and our job titles affect how we are perceived. If a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, then we'd better understand what that thorny flower truly is.

    062 - Whole Team Solution Engineering

    A cross-functional team is one that has all the necessary people to build and ship a product without having to wait on people outside of the team. But having those people on the team isn't the whole story; how the team works together (or not) matters. In this episode, your hosts discuss the Product Discovery Double Diamond concept, using techniques like '5 Whys' to dig into problems, and letting teams own their problem space. These ideas have helped us move from mere outputs to outcomes and real impact.

    061 - AI and Modern Software Engineering Practices

    Practices co-evolve with activities. As we (as in industry) increasingly use AI tools, how will this change our existing practices and what new ones will emerge? In this episode, Allan and Dave discuss practices that we've found valuable and what our experiences have been like incorporating AI into our work thus far. We cover some tried-and-true practices that seem to pair well with AI and speculate about changes we might see in others.
