YAGNI

Software used to be something you sat down and wrote.
Line by line. 
Decision by decision.

The work lived in the hands of the person at the keyboard.

That world doesn’t really exist anymore. Everything is changing: who does the work, how fast it moves, what counts as “writing,” what still needs a human in the loop

Instincts and best practices are built on ideas that are getting invalidated faster than ever. So we have to go back and figure out what we're actually doing here. 

Welcome to YAGNI, Season 3: The Software Factory.

Thank you to this season’s sponsor Laravel Cloud. Laravel Cloud is expanding beyond PHP to host your Rails, Node, or Django apps. For early access to the best place to host your app, email haley@laravel.com and mention YAGNI

What is YAGNI?

You Ain't Gonna Need It, the podcast where we look at software practices and tools and ask: "do we need it?"

How fast it moves? What counts as writing? What still needs a human in the loop? Instincts and best practices are built on ideas that are getting invalidated faster than ever. So I guess we have to go back and figure out what it is we're actually doing here.
