Engineering Culture Performance Sustainability Technical Review 
Strategic Tech
MARCH 16, 2021
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. I highly recommend his writing on the topic.

Before joining CircleCI, my years of experience led me to believe that I was an engineer with a firm understanding of the technical aspects of the craft, as well as what is considered good practice. It might only partially implement a feature (protected by feature flags or just not user-accessible), get reviewed, and get merged.

Our tools provide a surprisingly deep level of insight, into your applications for your engineers. As a result, it makes things like chaos engineering far easier to build and adapt and grow. It’s in the DNA of our company to be thinking about performance, and monitoring, and resiliency. Why should you listen to me?

This is particularly hard on engineering teams, where we always have to balance multiple priorities: security, reliability, performance, UX, shipping new features, iterating on existing features, internal developer experience, maintainability/tech debt, quality, scaling, etc.

He describes “some surprising theories about software engineering”: I discuss these theories in terms of two fundamentally different development styles, the "cathedral" model of most of the commercial world versus the "bazaar" model of the Linux world. On the contrary, volunteers were motivated by seeing their contribution working right away.
