Nurturing Design in Your Software Engineering Culture

Strategic Tech

MARCH 16, 2021

There are a few qualities that differentiate average from high performing software engineering organisations. I believe that attitude towards the design of code and architecture is one of them. When interviewing software engineers, I always provide at-home coding tests which focus on design.

This is both frustrating for companies that would prefer making ML an ordinary, fuss-free value-generating function like software engineering, as well as exciting for vendors who see the opportunity to create buzz around a new category of enterprise software. Software Architecture. This approach is not novel.

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.

Organise your engineering teams around the work by reteaming

Abhishek Tiwari

JULY 20, 2019

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.

It seems unrealistic wanting the best of both world (speed and reliability) but the field of software engineering established during the past decade that speed and reliability can both be achieved. A good engineering organization moves at speed with high reliability. It doesn’t need to be a choice of one over the other.
