Fredrik snackar om långdistansmjukvaruutveckling - att bygga saker över längre tid på ett bra sätt, och hur och varför han tänker väldigt mycket på löpning i sammanhanget. Det blir rutiner, löpning, agil utveckling, tidsuppskattning, deadlines, och varför sprint är ett värdelöst ord när man snackar mjukvaruutveckling. Avsnittet är på sätt och vis en deluxeförlängd regissörsversion av Fredriks lucka i Asdfs julkalender. Ett stort tack till Cloudnet som sponsrar vår VPS! Har du kommentarer, frågor eller tips?

Fredrik snackar om året som gått. Det blir genomgång av Kodsnacksåret, och av kodåret på arbetstid - ett år där en snårig Reactkomponent satt tonen och gett saker att fundera på. Fredrik funderar också lite kring fokus och sociala medier - man har - trots allt - ingen skyldighet att ta in och uppröras över vad alla andra upprörs över för stunden. Därefter blir det ett kort tangentbordssnack, och sist men inte minst årets sista fundering kring AI-bubblan och hur olika den tycks se ut för olika personer. Dessutom en liten titt mot 2025, och en lyssnarundersökning för den som vill tala om för oss vad hen tycker om podden! Ett stort tack till Cloudnet som sponsrar vår VPS!

Fredrik talks to Dejan Milicic about software development - understanding, methods, and stories. We start by talking about encapsulation of knowledge and the essential software in organizations. Almost every organization should - it can be argued - be developing software that solves their unique problems, and yet so many outsource so much of their knowledge encapsulation. Oh, and we can never completely encapsulate our knowledge in code either, so all the more reason to keep people who actually know what the code does and why around. Dejan tells us about his way to Ravendb and a developer relations role - and how you can craft your own job, stepping suitably outside of your comfort zone along the way. We also talk about shortening attention spans, daring to dig down a bit and find out about the context of things. Like the second sentence of some oft-repeated quote. Prohibit bad things, but help automate doing good things and avoid doing the bad things completely. Dejan shares some database backstories - why would someone want to build one more database? Specifically, what lead to the creation of Ravendb? And the very strong opinions which have been built into it. Avoiding falling into marketing-driven development. After that, we drift into talking about processes and how we work. Every organization is unique - which strongly speaks against adapting the “best practices” and methodologies of others. Or keeping things completely the same for too long. Innovation is also about doing what other people are not doing. Why is concurrency still hard? The free lunch has been over for twenty years! Functional programming and immutability offer ways forward, why aren’t these concepts spreading even more and faster? We get right back to understanding more context when Dejan discusses how few of us seem to have understood, just for example, the L in SOLID. Dive deeper, read more, and you will find new things and come up with new ideas. Finally, Dejan would like to see software development becoming just a little bit more mathematical. So that things can be established, verified and built on in a different way. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS! Comments, questions or tips?

Fredrik snackar med Markus Backman och Christian Edström Boveng om Andromeda - Swedbanks mikrotjänsbaserade utvecklingsplattform. Vägen till Andromeda - hur och varför bestämde man sig för att bygga plattformen, och varför köpte man inte in något färdigt? Jo, för att man har sina styrkor och sina unika egenskaper som företag. Vi får veta varför mikrotjänster är ett mycket enklare beslut i en stor organisation med massor av team. En plattform är så mycket mer än teknik, jobbet att förändra organisation och kultur är kanske både större och viktigare. Vi pratar om nyttan med bra och roliga namn för att berätta historien om ens projekt, och om att få med folk på tåget - genom att bygga något som fungerade istället för att diskutera och kommunicera först. Markus och Christian berättar också om hur både teknik och rutiner uppmuntrar utvecklare att använda plattformen och arbeta på nya sätt. Andromeda hjälper en att automatiskt följa regler och riktlinjer, och lyckas automatisera bort hela och regelbundna möten. Man har till och med byggt ett helt system som diskret uppmuntrar och knuffar alla team mot att driftsätta kod oftare och oftare. Vi tar givetvis också upp frågan på allas läppar: Vad gör man när ens raket blir klassad som icke certifierad kontorsutrustning? Ett stort tack till Cloudnet som sponsrar vår VPS!

Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2024, Fredrik talks to Ingrid af Sandeberg about AI and people’s perception of it. While it’s very powerful to be able to interact with models through natural language, that interface in itself hides a lot of what’s actually going on.

Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2024, Fredrik talks to Kent Beck and Beth Andres-Beck about development practices, code reviews, and more. Unfortunately, sound quality is a lot worse than it should be. We apologize, and invite any sound processing wizards out there to get in touch if they have solid ways of improving it. Has there actually been a backlash - a move toward more rigid processes? And what can we do about that? The development process is a shadow cast by the power structure, and in big organizations, you need someone who’s job it is to read all the documents. Also: improving code reviews, and how breaking the build can land you in a room with exactly the right people.

Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2024, Fredrik talks to IT security expert David Jacoby about his way into IT security. What was it like to get interested in computer security early on, and to try start working with it before there really was an awareness of even the need for more security information? And when did the switch happen from annoying but harmless viruses and malware to the modern information stealing and blackmailing? Finally, a horror movie tip.

Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2024, Fredrik talks to Corin Ism about the power of developers to change the world for the better. Much of what we do is building virtual worlds - virtual nations if you will - and creating and enforcing their rules and power structures. We should take that power and responsibility seriously and think about what we build. If you think about the interfaces you build as essentially being the law in the system, will that change how you build them? We can easily fall into thinking about “the algorithm” as if it was some sort of rain god we pray to but can’t control - but we can and should use our control in everything we build. We think of things like evil puppet masters when we think of control, but everything we build controls in some way, and pretending we can abdicate control doesn’t help anyone. Corin talks about how to think positively in terms of making user of our power, how to see the possibilities, and where to look for inspiration. Oh, and don’t fall into the trap of thinking that what we have right now is set in stone and can’t and never should change. Let’s keep iterating! Finally, we talk a bit of disconnecting from the internet to do deeper and more focused work.
