M199: Unit tests are the Safety Net that you can't afford to not use 24.06.2022 5:38

Coding without unit tests similar to building a house without a safety net: you can do this, but your productivity will be extremely low. You will mostly be driven by fear. Can you afford this? Video is here: https://youtu.be/Y0Zx_sdVG48

M192: Find a way to structure your opinion after each interview of a new candidate 18.04.2022 5:45

When you interview each new candidate, your opinion will most likely be pretty subjective. I suggest you try to find a way to structure it with some generic approach, which you will apply to all interviews. This will help you not miss important information and always have a good explanation for your decisions. The video is here: https://youtu.be/o_S1aSLoh14

M191: When a bug report is not as simple as it can be, don't fix it 11.04.2022 5:06

The best bug report is the one that represents the simplest possible scenario where the bug shows up. Most bug reports are not like that. I suggest rejecting them and letting their authors simplify them. Blog post: https://www.yegor256.com/2022/03/29/bugs-occam-razor.html The video is here: https://youtu.be/UXu_Uejo0f0

M190: Make sure the bugs you report explain the simplest possible scenarios 04.04.2022 5:19

When you report a bug, try to make it as simple as it's possible. When you accept a bug, ask the reporter to make it as simple as possible. Somebody has to do this work of minimization of a bug. I suggest this work is done by reporters. Video is here: https://youtu.be/jiEJnLBowHc

M189: How would you decide who deserves to be authors of a published paper? 21.03.2022 8:00

When you write an academic paper or a patent together with your co-workers, who of them becomes your co-authors? All of them? Some of them? Who decides? In this video I'm asking for your help in defining the formula. The video is here: https://youtu.be/TF8MKOfo3gI

M188: I don't think ML will ever be able to write code 21.02.2022 12:58

AlphaCode recently announced that its ML model can write code as good as an average programmer. I don't think it's writing and I don't believe in this approach we will ever be able to get anything meaningful aside from pure marketing speculations.

M186: Make sure your CV has something nobody else has and you'll be fine 27.12.2021 7:02

"How do I become a software architect with a six-figure salary?" is the question I'm being asked very often. I can't say I know the answer but here is the strategy I would recommend to pursue: make sure your profile differs from all others somehow. The video is here: https://youtu.be/mJb-H-8npFk

M185: CTO has to write code and delegate management to PMs 20.12.2021 9:08

Chief Technical Officer (CTO) is usually the highest technical position, where usually is a person who doesn't really remember how to write software code. A better setup would be with a CTO who codes every day and delegates management to Project Managers. Video is here: https://youtu.be/b_w85hL2o04

M184: Keep your best programmers from maintenance mode 13.12.2021 4:40

Developing a software product and maintaining it are two different activities, even though both are very important. Developers and maintainers are people of different types and if you want to keep your best developers in the project, don't allow them to become maintainers.
