The 2010s were a turning-point in the history of software engineering. or “How do software architecture, domains, Conway’s Law, Team Topologies, and value streams all fit together?”. In this article I’ve been referring to what Emily Peterson refers to as Development Value Streams.

mainly because of mundane reasons related to software engineering. The infrastructure should allow them to exercise their freedom as data scientists but it should provide enough guardrails and scaffolding, so they don’t have to worry about software architecture too much.

This means that, to have a history of how an application was developed, you have to look at more than the source code. Collaboration between AI developers and operations teams will lead to growing pains on both sides, especially since many data scientists and AI researchers have had limited exposure to, or knowledge of, software engineering.

More than a fifth of the respondents work in the software industry—skewing results toward the concerns of software companies, and helping explain the preponderance of those with software engineering roles. As noted earlier, the majority of survey respondents are software engineers.

It seems to us that the results of our survey offer a point-in-time snapshot of the latest trends in cloud, microservices, distributed application development, and other emergent areas. More than one-third have adopted site reliability engineering (SRE); slightly less have developed production AI services.

The Intangible Result Perhaps even more beneficial than the performance gains has been the improvement in our development velocity in this system. We can now develop, validate, and release changes in minutes which might have before taken days or weeks?—?and and we can do so with significantly increased release quality.

I’ve been disappointed for a long time with the way in which companies organise software development teams. I remember as a young, naive software developer, I assumed there would be structured processes and patterns similar to those used for designing a software architecture. A clear warning sign.

According to this report, the primary cause of this failure was that one piece of ground software supplied by Lockheed Martin produced results in a United States customary unit, while a second system, supplied by NASA, expected those results to be in SI units. An erroneous trajectory was computed using this incorrect data.

The engineering organisation described may not work for you because of a team of 8-10 people is still a very big overhead. In this model, software architecture and code ownership is a reflection of the organisational model. Is it possible to draw inspiration from outside of software engineering? Probably yes.

Architecture modernization initiatives are strategic efforts involving many teams, usually for many months or years. They often compete with product/feature development work, resulting in them falling flat and failing to deliver the promised business benefits that triggered them.

In the software system, we need to decide the business transaction boundaries aka DDD Aggregates. The developers decide that a single 10 minute Slot is their Aggregate boundary. They don’t understand software, they. just see incompetent developers waffling about tech. But there is a problem?—?

The Chocolate Sauce Heuristic for Software Design There are a few lessons about software development we can learn from this story, but I want to focus on design. This was either the hidden treasure I desperately sought, or full-on psychosis had finally took residence within my fragile mind. It’s used for desserts?

Sometimes, this can be achieved with relatively minimal disruption, like when the products are highly distinct and can be developed fully in-parallel. Since then, Google Maps has become the foundation for many other innovations after being opened up to developers via APIs. This is often not the case, however.

However, this “golden road” has developed deep cracks and is badly in need of maintenance. But many jobs require skills that frequently aren’t taught in traditional CS departments, such as cloud development, Kubernetes, and microservices. There is a crisis in technical education. Tuition has risen at a rate 50% greater than inflation.
