The Seven Areas Of Software Management
- Ian Nowland
#Leadership #Management
tl;dr: (1) Engineering: How are things being built? (2) Execution: How are things getting built on time and within budget? (3) Operations: Is the built thing going to keep running? (4) People: Are people motivated taking part in what is being built? (5) Product: Are customers satisfied by what is being built? (6) Partners: Do all my partners understand and agree with all the above? (7) Company: How do I get the company to align with all these answers?

Agility ≠ Speed
- Kevlin Henney
#Leadership #Management
tl;dr: Agile is not achieving a sustainable speed in an optimal direction; "it is being able to change both speed and direction, and to do so easily. It is the second derivative of position with respect to time, not just the first: agility relates both to velocity and to the ability to change it, revising direction and pace as circumstances demand."

- Mark Porter
#Leadership #Management #CTO
tl;dr: Q&A, including what traits, skills, and habits should an engineering team focus on: (1) Conway's Law: make sure your org and code are structured to represent the product you want to delight customers with. (2) Dunbar's Law: humans can maintain a certain number of social connections, so keep teams & interactions within this number. (3) Have small groups where they know what they’re doing, are allowed to make decisions about it, and have a connection to the customer.

Good Efforts Preserve Bad Systems
- Milosz Danczak
#Management
tl;dr: "Incentives are never perfect because management always has a limited understanding of the system it manages." Therefore, unrewarded work is often carried out to keep the system in place. However, Milosz argues, this results in management avoiding or ignoring issues and, in order, for change to happen, we must be open to failure on a personal level and culturally, as a company, for these issues to be tackled.

#DNS
tl;dr: "I built a site where you can do experiments with DNS called Mess With DNS. It has examples of experiments you can try, and you’ve very encouraged to come up with your own experiments. In this post I’ll talk about why I made this, how it works, and give you probably more details than you want to know about how I built it (design, testing, security, writing an authoritative nameserver, live streaming updates, etc)."
