Getting Started is Easy

Getting Started with a new publication and with a new projects is easy. Sustaining it is hard.

The same is true with Software Development. You can create an application fairly easily. There are tons of tools out there that will help you do that.

Making it do something marginally useful is also not very difficult.

The real difficulty starts as you make progress and you want to make changes without breaking the features that already worked earlier.

It is much harder to keep adding new features at a pace you had at the beginning.

You might have code that is not well designed. You might have no tests to help you verify that everything works fine.

How can you get from a working project that is hard to maintain to one that is easy to maintain and it is still working?

In the Daily Standup I’ll bring you a short article every week referencing other, more interesting articles to help you make a little improvement to yourself and your Engineering team.
