I really liked A Philosophy of Software Design by John Ousterhout. The author is a professor of Computer Science at Stanford, but he has also spent 14 years developing commercial software. The author defines complexity as anything related to the structure of a software system that makes it hard to understand and modify.

Low-code/no-code visual programming tools promise to radically simplify and speed up application development by allowing business users to create new applications using drag and drop interfaces, reducing the workload on hard-to-find professional developers. So there’s a lot in the plus column, but there are reasons to be cautious, too.

It all has to be very reactive; you keep fiddling with the code until it gets traction. Under those conditions, it doesn’t make sense to cross all the t’s and dot the i’s as the life expectancy of the code is weeks or months. As a great example, Stand-ups always come to mind. We see the same kinda thing with unit testing.

I like to use Test-Driven Development (TDD) when coding. However, in some circumstances, TDD is more of a hinderance than a help. Writing tests only makes sense after the solution is viable. Last week, I came across examples of where I developed new functionality without using TDD.
