Software development is not an established discipline where there is a clear technique used to solve any given problem. In fact, there are near infinite ways to solve every software engineering challenging. The costs of entropy in software systems cannot be over-emphasised. This is natural, yet this is also a big problem.

There are a few qualities that differentiate average from high performing software engineering organisations. In my experience, the culture is better and the results are better in orgs where engineers and architects obsess over the design of code and architecture. They prefer to work in isolation and just deliver.

To ensure the safety of their customers, employees, and business data, organizations must have a strategy to protect against zero-day vulnerabilities. Zero day refers to security vulnerabilities that are discovered in software when teams had “zero days” to work on an update or a patch to remediate the issue and, hence, are already at risk.

When things fail, it is hard to tell what it is exactly that is failing (or sometimes even if there is a failure at all).
