Here’s a conclusion I’ve made building consumer products for many years: the speed at which a company innovates is limited by its iteration speed. I don’t even mean throughput here. I just mean the cycle time. Invoking Little’s law this is also related to the total inventory of features not being deployed yet. In a hypothetical scenario, clone two teams of identical engineers and split them up in two groups A and B.

It’s been almost 5 years since that fireside chat. My friend “Joe” and I were one of the last few remaining at our campsite fireside on our annual church camping trip. The embers were glowing and yes, there was a bit of whisky involved. I distinctly remember Val emerging from her nearby tent in her pajamas and explaining that although our conversation was “indeed fascinating”, she was tired, and to please keep it down.

Designers are not mere pixel pushers. If they improved communication and employed their skills more effectively through strategic design thinking, they could make a bigger impact with their work.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Rick Delgado. These days, just about everything and every organization collects data. Even refrigerators collect information on temperature, usage, etc. Employers do on just about anything they can; some are in fact requiring employees to wear health trackers that monitor heart rate and other metrics. From cars to medical devices, personal data is everywhere.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

Small teams frequently have to compete with bigger, more structured organizations who are capable of allocating more resources to project management, and software release management in particular. This means that small teams, or even individual developers, need to properly organize and execute their release process in order to keep up.

Here's a quote from that piece: Setting aside for the moment how we define “quality”. database managers have always had to concern themselves with standards, data cleaning, corrections, and manual versus automated approaches to data quality control.

A decade or so ago, when an IT organization (captive or company) hit rock bottom - bloated payroll, lost confidence and ruptured trust resulting from rampant defects, rocky deployments, functional mis-fits, and long delivery cycles - it would give anything a try, even that crazy Agile stuff. It didn't matter if it was incumbent management with their backs against the wall, or new management brought in to clean house, desperate times called for desperate measures.
