“I had the absolute pleasure of working with Ben Ramsey on the platform engineering team at Skillshare. Ben consistently had a huge impact on the entire engineering organisation and showed great curiosity by jumping head-first into complex problem spaces. With Ben's expertise, our team delivered some seriously high-impact projects including the transcription and translation of Skillshare's entire catalogue of video content using event-driven architecture, micro services and lambdas. This was a huge win for accessibility at Skillshare! We also migrated the catalogue from one video streaming provider to another - saving the company hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. I can't recommend Ben highly enough, and would love to work with him again in the future.”

How to ruin a Developer's or UX's Designer's day. And save the product. Yes, let's explore and use your product. It's obvious...right? uh right? of course! Any child can follow along! Children can think like this until they are trained out of it. Obviously a skit. but how often has it happened in real life? If a person or company has a lot of hubris and doesn't think about and test edge-cases .. well .. at best one can get unexpected results. At worst - a catastrophic failure. ps. I don't know if he is talking to her, or a child off screen, or himself. I was first slightly offended. Then I realized made the skit even more amusing. Developers watching QA test the product. https://lnkd.in/eWZi8W22

So many developers get this wrong 🚨 They say that their manager / company doesn't give them time to tackle tech debt or to develop high quality code. But when asked to give estimates, they give two estimates: one for a quick and dirty implementation and one for a proper one, including tackling tech debt. This is a mistake. Tech debt, tests and code quality are your business as developers, and yours alone. There are no two estimates. There's only one, and it includes the time you need to do things right. Never give other estimates. #estimates #codequality #cleancode #softwaredevelopment #developerlife

Just wrapped up a heated debate with my team about testing strategies. After 10+ years in the trenches, you'd think we'd have this figured out, but nope! 😅 Here's my two cents on test types that have saved our bacon more times than I can count: Unit tests: The unsung heroes catching silly mistakes Integration tests: Because components should play nice Functional tests: Making sure the thing actually works Performance tests: Nobody likes a slowpoke app Security tests: Keeping the bad guys out (hopefully) Usability tests: Real users, real feedback Regression tests: Stopping bugs from coming back for revenge Acceptance tests: The "customer is always right" tests What's your testing lifesaver? Any types you swear by or think are overrated? Let's chat in the comments! #SoftwareEngineering #QualityMatters #LessonsLearned

The single biggest problem in software development is one of expectations - the two sides of it are: - We don’t expect the builder to know what they’re building. - We don’t expect the leader to know what their followers are doing. You solve these - you instantly put yourself at the head of the pack.
