DEVOPS READY

Code needs something to make sure it works as intended. Using asynchronous code reviews for that will slow the team down. Reviewing code as a group is a good tool for knowledge sharing, but do it on production code.

When we feel comfortable there is room to try new and uncomfortable things. Then we can take (calculated) risks, collaborate and create. Value real comfort zones.

DevOps and FullStack are orthogonal concepts. One is about technology and the other is about the software lifecycle.

The SOLID principles help us write loosely coupled code. We also know that the structure of the organization is reflected in the resulting code. So how can we translate SOLID to help with a loosely coupled organization?

Don't let frameworks interlace with the domain code. Keep them separate and working with the codebase won't require super powers.

Design the code so that as little as possible needs to change when the world changes.

The Westrum model for company culture distinguishes between pathological, bureaucratic and generative. To remember the model it is presented as ways to deal with a common restroom.

Systems thinking helps us understand why DevOps happens in the joining of dev and ops. It can not be bottled and sold separately.

Self contradictions are things with a built in logical conflict. A DevOps person is not possible, since DevOps is about collaboration and shared responsibility. It can not be contained by a person.

There is a scientifically better way to write software. It is all available in the DORA DevOps report and learning about it will save lives, for real.

The software industry has to dream bigger when it comes to excellence, and use research available to improve. We need to dare to imagine a world where writing code is fun and pain free. It is possible!

Software development today share problems with the first bigger software projects, but unnecessarily so. To take advantage of a new technology we must unlearn what we did to manage without it. Then we can learn the skills needed to fully utilize our tools.
