Description

We invited my friend and colleague Albert Brand on to discuss speed vs quality in software development.

Some of the topics we cover this episode, in order:
☑️ The power of the right environment
☑️ Evolving software vs rebuilding it, and the not invented here syndrome
☑️ Trust is very complex
☑️ What does 100% unit test coverage mean?
☑️ The sweet spot of quality and speed

My favourite quotes from Albert Brand this episode:
– “Are you really going fast when it slows you down later?”
– “Isn’t speed just another quality?”

Enjoy!
