Greg Young - The art of destroying software


You should read the original waterfall pater.
it describes agile
paper describes waterfall on the first page
then goes on to say it does not work
"waterfall is the optimal way, but it does not work"




Paper: Big Ball of Mud
"this is inevitable"
"this is optimal"
you need to create small pockets




Optimise from the beginning to delete code




Erlang
combination of small programs
never change code, only rewrite




refactor
= change code keep tests
= change tests keep code


refucktor
= change code and tests




rule of thumb
microservice < 1 week of rewrite
otherwise: flag = high risk area of code




technical debt is not bad
debt is not bad
if technical debt starts acumulating, delete it


"microservices" done right

NO 18 month prohect
try a 1week project
- better estimation
- better velocity


1970 write small maneagable




philosophy
- unix
- erlang
- actors
- microservices
- soa




go learn Erlang




cowboy/fireman hat
"wear the hat when working on prod issues"
someone comes along to ask you something




challenged teams
every time you add an abstraction
create an options-pricing model on that abstraction
and forecast the probability that someone actually needs it
and i want you to measure yourself
and then compare to the null-hypothesis
not much better than dartboard




Q&A
small amount of state for each program


can be in same database


avoid integration through data when possible
trade-off:
- nasty coupling
- performance


weak schema
hybrid schema
-> some required fields + weak
