    EP50 - Efficiency - Balancing speed, quality, and tech debt

    We've been constantly seeking the next big thing in software development, always chasing innovation. However, despite our efforts, we seem to keep facing the same old challenges. Recently, Chris and I came across an article by Ray Carnes on Medium, where he mentioned not having seen a new software development problem in 30 years. This got us thinking - why does this cycle continue, and more importantly, how can we break free from it at last? Wanting to learn how to code or improve your coding skills?

    EP49 - Are there really any new software engineering problems?

    For decades, we've been riding the wave of innovation, chasing the next big tool, the next breakthrough in software development. And yet, here we are, still grappling with the same age old challenges. Chris and I came across an article from Ray Carnes on Medium. He titled it, I haven't seen a new software development problem in 30 years. And he's not wrong. It caused us to stop in our tracks and have a thought. And we wanted to share that with you. But the question is, why does this cycle persist? More importantly, how do we finally break free from it?
