We've been constantly seeking the next big thing in software development, always chasing innovation. However, despite our efforts, we seem to keep facing the same old challenges. Recently, Chris and I came across an article by Ray Carnes on Medium, where he mentioned not having seen a new software development problem in 30 years. This got us thinking - why does this cycle continue, and more importantly, how can we break free from it at last?

For decades, we've been riding the wave of innovation, chasing the next big tool, the next breakthrough in software development. And yet, here we are, still grappling with the same age old challenges. Chris and I came across an article from Ray Carnes on Medium. He titled it, I haven't seen a new software development problem in 30 years. And he's not wrong. It caused us to stop in our tracks and have a thought. And we wanted to share that with you. But the question is, why does this cycle persist? More importantly, how do we finally break free from it?

Today, we're diving into a topic that resonates with many of us in software development: the distinction between being agile and doing agile. Our conversation explores a fundamental difference between these two concepts. We uncover why simply doing agile or following the methodologies and things like holding meetings and doing ceremonies often fall short.

Welcome to this week's podcast, where we delve into the critical aspects of enhancing developer experience. Imagine eliminating slow build times, navigating through well-documented processes, and experiencing streamlined onboarding. Prioritizing developer experience isn't just beneficial; it's essential in today's market. We explore the importance of understanding developers' challenges to boost productivity, reduce tech debt, and spark innovation.
Time is a precious commodity in software development, and prioritizing it will make a difference. We explore the balance between developer autonomy and the necessary boundaries to maintain that order. Simplicity and clarity in the process and tools are critical in maintaining high productivity. Moreover, we'll examine why focusing on outcomes over processes is critical and how measuring the right metrics can lead to significant improvements.
Join us as we uncover strategies to enhance the developer's experience, drive better outcomes, and transform how you build software.

Imagine a state where you are completely absorbed in your task, pushing your skills to the limit, yet feeling totally in control and exhilarated. That's the power of deep work and flow state. And how often do you actually feel that way?
For most of us, it's hardly ever.
Emails, notifications, the open office layout, it's all ruining our ability to have focus. In this week's episode, Chris and I are going to dive deep into deep work and flow state. We're going to cover what it is, why it matters, and how you can use it to increase your overall productivity, whether you're an individual or an organization.

This episode explores the challenges and considerations of modernizing legacy applications, particularly those running on mainframes. Dan and Chris discuss the persistence of mainframes in various industries and the potential risks associated with the retirement of experienced technologists who understand these systems. They also examine the options for modernization, including rip and replace, building a wrapper around the legacy system, or gradually transitioning to new technologies.
Takeaways
- Legacy applications running on mainframes continue to play a critical role in many industries, and the retirement of experienced technologists poses a risk to organizations that rely on these systems.
- Modernizing legacy applications requires a deep understanding of the business domain and the complex business logic embedded in the code.
- Rip and replace approaches are costly and time-consuming, and may not always be the best solution. Building a wrapper around the legacy system or gradually transitioning to new technologies can be more practical.
- The cloud can offer scalability and accessibility benefits, but it is not a one-size-fits-all solution for legacy modernization.
- Strategies for modernization should focus on the fringes and edges of the system, gradually replacing components and leveraging existing API layers. Legacy system modernization requires a deep understanding of the domain knowledge and business rules embedded in the system.
- The complexity of legacy systems makes it challenging to fully comprehend their functionality and make informed decisions about modernization.
- AI can assist in certain aspects of legacy system modernization, but it is not a silver bullet and cannot replace human expertise.
- Courageous leaders are needed to take on the challenge of legacy system modernization and make strategic decisions based on ROI and business outcomes.
