Kodsnack in English

Fredrik talks to Dejan Milicic about software development - understanding, methods, and stories.

We start by talking about encapsulation of knowledge and the essential software in organizations. Almost every organization should - it can be argued - be developing software that solves their unique problems, and yet so many outsource so much of their knowledge encapsulation. Oh, and we can never completely encapsulate our knowledge in code either, so all the more reason to keep people who actually know what the code does and why around.

Dejan tells us about his way to Ravendb and a developer relations role - and how you can craft your own job, stepping suitably outside of your comfort zone along the way.

We also talk about shortening attention spans, daring to dig down a bit and find out about the context of things. Like the second sentence of some oft-repeated quote. Prohibit bad things, but help automate doing good things and avoid doing the bad things completely.

Dejan shares some database backstories - why would someone want to build one more database? Specifically, what lead to the creation of Ravendb? And the very strong opinions which have been built into it. Avoiding falling into marketing-driven development.

After that, we drift into talking about processes and how we work. Every organization is unique - which strongly speaks against adapting the “best practices” and methodologies of others. Or keeping things completely the same for too long. Innovation is also about doing what other people are not doing.

Why is concurrency still hard? The free lunch has been over for twenty years! Functional programming and immutability offer ways forward, why aren’t these concepts spreading even more and faster? We get right back to understanding more context when Dejan discusses how few of us seem to have understood, just for example, the L in SOLID. Dive deeper, read more, and you will find new things and come up with new ideas.

Finally, Dejan would like to see software development becoming just a little bit more mathematical. So that things can be established, verified and built on in a different way.

Fredrik talks to Jon Sterling about user interfaces old and new. Jon has created Aquaui - a Mac user interface library which is a small love letter to the Aqua user interface style for Mac OS X. Based on that, we discuss understandable and consistent user interfaces, how there seems to be little evolution and improvement, wish for brave new ideas, and a lot more.

Oh, and we also discuss living with old technology, like a seventh-generation Ipod. Plus liability laundering and the problems of building the whole house of out fire alarms.

Kodsnack 626 - The great flattening of everything, with Jon Sterling

Fredrik talks to Barry O’Reilly about software architecture.

Barry has spent a lot of time and energy connecting software architecture to actual code and development work, and finding good ways of actually training new generations of software architects.

Architecture is a level above programming, it is a different skill, and it needs to be properly taught so that more people can think and make active decisions about it. Oh, and architecture happens at a group level. You can’t really do it alone.

Barry’s quest led him to complexity science, a PhD to actually prove his ideas hold up, and two books. The idea that you have to understand what goes on in the code in order to do good architecture is more controversial than one might think.

Kodsnack 631 - Comfortable in uncertainty, with Barry O'Reilly

Fredrik talks to Gitte Klitgaard about managers, diversity, and communication. We discuss how and why management has almost become a bad word. But we need management, and good management. What do you need out of managers when you have autonomous teams?

Conflict handling - we need small conflicts, and learn to handle them so they don’t become big conflicts.

Psychological safety and how to build it within and between your teams.

Building diverse teams, which kinds of managers we need, making good things visible, communicating and building psychological safety, diversity in thinking …

… and of course: a quick note on the evolution of LEGO instructions.

Recorded during Øredev 2024.

Jono Bacon
 

Internetdagarna är över! Vi lämnade Stockholm Waterfront med ett par intervjuer, reflektioner och en hel del idéer och uppslag för vad vi vill göra med podcasten framöver.

Först ut är vår intervju med Jono Bacon. Jono är Community Manager på Canonical, företaget som ligger bakom Linux-distributionen Ubuntu. Han var på Internetdagarna för att hålla en keynote med teman Community, så våra frågor började där. Han är dock även programmerare, musiker och en allmänt trevlig snubbe, så vi hinner avverka allt möjligt från hemmakontor till mobilprogrammering.

Jono har även sin egen podcast som vi rekommenderar till alla som är intresserade av öppen källkod eller bara vill höra mer av Jono. Vi låter det här citatet från vår intervju tjäna som ett smakprov eller varning!

“Some people are just assholes. Some people are just grade-A, copper-bottom, 24 carat gold assholes out there!”

We chat with Stefan Karpinski, creator of the Julia programming language, live on stage during Øredev 2014. Topics include deciding to build a new language, the interesting unsolved problems of numerical computing, concurrency solutions, developing with and on LLVM, handling deprecation nicely, things (possibly) in the future for Julia and why Swift is exciting for Julia and other languages.

Kodsnack 80 - Where numbers don't have to be special anymore

We chat with James Mickens, researcher and most likely funniest man at Microsoft, live on stage during Øredev 2014. Topics include C development, the purity of incrementation, death by specifications, scandinavian death metal and its font choices and also British football, distributed systems and the problems you encounter dealing with them. The downsides of being stuck alone in a set of universes is that Stack overflow can’t help you. And how should we fix the Javascript and web browser technology world?

Comments on the internet? No.

We chat with Rob Ashton, freelance developer, speaker and recent discoverer of how to learn things properly, live on stage during Øredev 2014. Topics include learning, the plateaus of learning and how to actually do things right to keep evolving and learning. The problems of frameworks wanting to make X easy. Perhaps we should learn about programming in general instead of learning the next big framework in the hope that it will solve our problems without us needing to understand them?
