The Engineering Room with Dave Farley

Jez Humble joins Dave Farley in the podcast episode where they discuss writing the award-winning book 'Continuous Delivery' - Jez' goal was to stop people wasting time by doing the wrong things, and showing people a better way of working so they don't have to spend their evenings and weekends to release new software! Dave and Jez share views on a divided SW industry, the real identity of a software developer, what mistakes they made, the importance of building teams with trust, the origins of TDD and Blue-Green deployment, current software engineering trends AND MORE.xxEqual Experts is a product software development consultancy with a network of over 1,000 experienced technology consultants globally.

Today's Guest Frank Yu is an engineering leader at Coinbase, focusing on distributed low latency trading platforms. In some ways the development in ultra-low-latency trading systems is analogous to Formula 1 Car racing. These people push the boundaries of what is possible in software, and sometimes hardware, to squeeze out every last ounce of performance. Code for trading though is not esoteric, or unnecessarily complex, and ideas that are explored in this, sometimes, cutting-edge domain become more widely used in the wider industry, event based systems is one such transfer that springs to mind. So if you want to learn how to build a trading algorithm, take advantage of event streaming to create a world-class reactive system the Dave Farley's guest in the Engineering Room, Frank Yu, explains, and Dave and Frank explore more broadly what this kind thinking and design means for software engineering more broadly.xx⭐ PATREON: Join the Continuous Delivery community and access extra perks & content!

In this episode of the Engineering Room, Dave Farley and Kent Beck have a wide-ranging discussion about the return of waterfall development in software, TDD, Software Design and lots of other things along the way. Kent Beck is the first signatory of the Agile Manifesto. He is the author of the industry-changing book "Extreme Programming Explained". Kent popularised Continuous Integration and TDD and wrote the first version of xUnit, the unit testing framework that has informed the design of unit testing frameworks ever since. It is hard to imagine people who aren't familiar with Kent Beck's work, but even if that is the case, his work has had an impact on how you think about, and practice software development and software engineering.xx⭐ PATREON: Join the Continuous Delivery community and access extra perks & content! ➡️ https://bit.ly/ContinuousDeliveryPatreon🔗 "TCR (Test && Commit || Revert)", Kent Beck: ➡️    • TCR test && commit || revert -- Rope ...   🔗 "Tidy First", Kent Beck: ➡️ https://tidyfirst.substack.com 🔗 Small Steps - "Explore, Expand, Extract", Kent Beck: ➡️    • Video  📖 Dave’s NEW BOOK "Modern Software Engineering" is available as paperback, or kindle here ➡️ https://amzn.to/3DwdwT3 and NOW as an AUDIOBOOK available on iTunes, Amazon and Audible. 📖 The original, award-winning "Continuous Delivery" book by Dave Farley and Jez Humble ➡️ https://amzn.to/2WxRYmx 📖 "Continuous Delivery Pipelines" by Dave Farley Paperback ➡️ https://amzn.to/3gIULlA ebook version ➡️ https://leanpub.com/cd-pipelines 📖 "Test Driven Development: By Example (The Addison-Wesley Signature Series), Kent Beck" ➡️ https://amzn.to/2NcqgGh 📖 "Extreme Programming Explained: Embrace Change", Kent Beck ➡️ https://amzn.to/3K5fhg6 📖 "Implementation Patterns (Addison-Wesley Signature Series (Beck))", Kent Beck ➡️ https://amzn.to/3K4VWvz 📖 "Smalltalk Best Practice Patterns", Kent Beck ➡️ https://amzn.to/3JKyfYgEqual Experts is a product software development consultancy with a network of over 1,000 experienced technology consultants globally. ➡️ https://bit.ly/3ASy8n0

Matthew Skelton is co-author of "Team Topologies: organizing business and technology teams for fast flow". He is Head of Consulting at Conflux and specialises in Continuous Delivery, operability, and organisation dynamics for modern software systems. In this conversation with Dave, he talks about the ecosystem necessary to build and nurture software, and the wide range of topics that impact on the effectiveness, and performance of development teams. The approach that his book "Team Topologies" describes is to use team structure as a tool, guided by the idea of managing the cognitive load of the team. This talk ranges from how to deal with the complex adaptive system that we inhabit when undertaking software development, to the structure of software development being more like an ant colony than an organised, predictable hierarchy.xx⭐ PATREON: Join the Continuous Delivery community and access extra perks & content!📕 "Team Topologies" by Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais ➡️ https://amzn.to/2Y0NdSO🔖 Matthew Skelton on "Why are Deployment Pipelines Important" ➡️ http://bit.ly/3UhrNLG📖 The original, award-winning "Continuous Delivery" book by Dave Farley and Jez Humble ➡️ https://amzn.to/2WxRYmx🔖 Get my FREE guide "How to Organise SW Teams" when you join the CD Mail List ➡️ https://www.subscribepage.com/organis...Equal Experts is a product software development consultancy with a network of over 1,000 experienced technology consultants globally.

Bryan Finster, an engineer known for rolling out Continuous Delivery (CD) to over 18,500 developers at Walmart, shares his insights on scaling CD practices in defense organizations. He humorously likens understanding CD to flying cars—hard to believe without experience. Bryan discusses the profound impact of CD on team morale, the importance of executive support, and strategies to win over bureaucracy. He also addresses the necessity of practical training and maintaining momentum, while promoting his parody site to critique industry practices.
