Today we live in a time where building and delivering high quality software, fast and frequent is a necessity. Having assembled teams who have done this relatively well and having worked with teams who have not managed to do this so well, I have come to appreciate certain qualities of…

TL;DR they don’t. It’s been quite a while since I adopted RxJS and fell in love with the idea of Reactive Programming. It takes time and quite a bit of practice to really get to know reactive programming and learn to appreciate it. When you start playing with RxJS one…

Anyone who is an experienced application developer understands that if your application is not the typical todo app, you have at least a few states that are application wide (they conceptually exist regardless of how they are implemented/handled). There are lots of powerful ways to maintain states well (like routes…

In the first part of this series I spoke about what this whole thing means for us. In summary the three key focuses are: World-class product quality, fast delivery of smaller things and automating everything. In this post I will be going through how it is done. How we work…

F**k that. I fully appreciate the notion of not taking failure as a negative emotion and I have practiced that many a times. Failure happens and there is so much that you learn from it and almost every failure is a gain, not a loss. …
