We now have a generation of developers who’ve never experienced an alternative to blocking code reviews.

But pull requests aren’t anyone’s security blanket, and it will only take a new fashion to change this.

Thierry’s excellent presentation is a call to action for the trend setters.

His point was that estimates do not work. He battled with his current C-level to remove estimates for these reasons.

Instead they introduced product bets with estimated value.

Software development may be a foreign country for the business. To gain trust we need accountability.

To be on time 100% of the time we need to multiple the estimates by a factor of six.

Better to have no estimates than wrong estimates.

It is still guesses at the end of the day. But it is better to have some model than a perfect model.

People think software development is about writing code. It is not!

It is about:

Communication
Collaboration
Simplicity
Courage
Respect

I always enjoy hearing @tdpauw.bsky.social talk :)

This time he is talking about non-blocking code reviews.

He always provides great insight on technical topics and new ways to get better code quality :)

Published: A Tester's Growth-Path to Test Automation

At one client, the topic of how a growth path for Testers in Test Automation would look in their QA Community of Practice. That triggered me to ask that question in the wild. Here's the result.

No, people will sit idly because they are intrinsically lazy. McGregor wrote about this in the 70s...

That is, they indeed are if you treat them as if they were.

Sure!

I refer to the book "Pair Programming Illuminated" that references some papers.

The main paper is:

The Costs and Benefits of Pair Programming, 2001, Cockburn & Williams, also presented at XP2000 in Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy

but there are others.
