    056 - Fast Feedback for Humans

    Humans need feedback in order to do their jobs well. Unfortunately, because feedback can often feel negative, it can be difficult to both give and receive feedback. In this episode, Dave and Allan discuss the importance of feedback and share some concepts which have helped us improve. Hopefully some of the ideas will help you to either give better feedback or open yourself to receiving it.

    055 - API Categorization

    Knowing your audience is good advice for APIs, not just public speaking or selling your ideas. Providing separate APIs for different purposes can make each one much easier to manage, especially when it comes time to roll out updates. In this episode, your hosts discuss how we like to categorize our APIs, how we deal with versioning, and why you might want to follow these patterns too.

    054 - Expertise and Collaboration

    Utilizing the skill acquisition models from our previous episode, we can begin to explore how our level of expertise affects us when collaborating with others. Dave and Allan share the 'Dreyfus Squared' concept from Dan North and then expound on it to explore the troubles that novice developers can have and why experts may not be the best at teaching them.

    053 - Skill Acquisition Models

    Learning and developing skills is vital in the software industry. But evaluating where you are at and how to take the next step can be difficult. In this episode, your hosts share two models for skill acquisition: Shuhari and the Dreyfus Model. These two models help us understand how we go from novice developers where following the rules is paramount to seasoned veterans that work by intuition and experience.

    052 - SOLID Principles

    Coupling and cohesion are fundamental design considerations, but when sitting down to build a system we often find we need additional guidance. SOLID is a mnemonic for five important principles which help us lower our coupling and improve cohesion, improving our software architectures. In this episode, Dave and Allan discuss each of these principles and how they support and reinforce each other.

    051 - Kanban

    Kanban boards have appeared and settled in to the software development world over the last decade or so. And yet, many people use them daily without ever having been exposed to the Lean concepts behind them. In this episode, we discuss the importance of making work visible so that you can have a useful sign board. We also talk about the Lean concepts that make Kanban powerful and some ideas to set up an effective board.

    050 - Lean Software Development

    Lean teaches us that there are two distinct types of efficiency: resource (being busy) and flow (delivering value). Unfortunately, many organizations are so focused on staying busy that they don't have any capacity to improve flow. In this episode, we discuss how Lean can be applied to software development. We discuss the three related laws from queueing theory, why flow is so important, the Efficiency Matrix, and some practices that can help keep flow high.

    049 - Software Costs

    How much does software cost? How do you know if you can afford to build what you want to build? In this episode, Dave and Allan discuss how to figure out your fully burdened cost and then use that rate as a way to judge costs. Not just money, but money over time, which becomes critical in a product mindset where we have to maintain and enhance what we build. Your hosts also discuss making bets, build vs. buy, expensive meetings, eliminating waste, and capital expenditures.
