It's 2023 and just like any year, your timeline is awash with good intentions and lists of things that you can do this year. You might even be writing a list - but what is the good of a list if you never look at it and it's too big to comprehend in the first place?
I use this episode to relaunch this channel as "Lovin' Legacy" - because I love legacy code and I'm not afraid to say it - and also to poke at the lists that the Agile Manifesto, John Romero and Gene Kim (and others) have made for us.
Can we make sense out of the true core of software development - can we focus on just a few things?
I hope we can.
I unpack or at least uncover my own acronym called QUEST, which is all about making the software and team sing from the same hymn sheet. Let's start 2023 together with a bang. Hope you like this episode and the rebrand - let me know in the comments!
