Ensemble Programming and Industrial Logic
Tim Oppenuger, a programmer with 13 years of experience at Industrial Logic, explains the unique approach to programming at the company. The team follows a continuous deployment process and believes in working incrementally and iteratively. They practice techniques like test-driven development (TDD), programming in pairs or teams, and slicing work into thin increments. This collaborative approach, where code is always working and teams adjust and integrate well, gives them a significant speed advantage. Tim also discusses the growing adoption of ensemble programming and the importance of adapting to your audience's reading preferences when it comes to code readability.
