Many companies are looking to low-code and no-code platforms to build apps in the visual environment. They provide the opportunity for faster app development and reduce the dependence on highly skilled developers. Companies may hire less experienced or only minimally trained staff (I’ll call them citizen developers) to meet service gaps and to respond to skills shortages, ensuring their larger dev team can focus on more advanced projects.

Three phases of a controlling engineering manager

Every morning, I see the unfiltered thoughts of 1200+ engineering leaders as one of the community moderators in the Dev Interrupted Discord server. We start every day with a Daily Interruption topic about how to make agile work in real life; scaling teams, building culture, hiring, continuous improvement, metrics – fun stuff like that. 

Recently this Daily Interruption popped up and stopped me in my tracks:

The second and final episode of Dev Interrupted‘s two- part series with Senior Google Staff Engineers Hyrum Wright and Titus Winters has premiered.

If you haven’t listened to their first episode, I highly recommend checking it out. Both guests bring a deep understanding of software engineering to the show: Hyrum is semi-famous as the « Hyrum » of Hyrum’s Law; while Titus is responsible for managing 250 million lines of code and over 12,000 developers.

Stack ranking is natural human behavior 

I have a buddy from high school named Murph. His real name is Ben Felt but every legit teenage crew in Pitsford, New York in the 90s needed a Murph so Ben took one for the team.

He’s a quant. Like Taylor Mason from the show Billions.

Nadav Lev is far from your average VP of R&D

His first "job" writing code was in the elite Israeli military intelligence agency Unit 8200.

Between November 2008 and December 2014, I transitioned from senior software engineer to dev team lead to Director of Engineering to VP of Engineering at CloudLock. During that time we grew from one office with 5 devs to four offices with 75 devs. 

Let’s just say it was a crazy 6 years :-)

Getting promoted to dev team lead

I was 24 years old. A baby.

Three years into my software engineering career and loving it.

The daily stand-up is broken. 

No wonder. It was invented almost 30 years ago and we’re still running it the exact same way.

When daily stand-up meetings started in the early 90s, the software development process looked very different. Git didn’t exist. Jira didn’t exist. Collaboration tools didn’t really exist. DevOps didn’t exist. Automation tools didn’t exist. Analytics tools didn’t exist.
