Never in the annals of software engineering was so much owed by so many to so few lines of code

Comprehensiveness is the enemy of comprehensibility.

When you actually sit down to write some code, you learn things that you didn't get from thinking about them in modeling terms...there is a feedback process there that you can only really get at from executing some things and seeing what works

Continuous Integration is a software development practice where members of a team integrate their work frequently, usually each person integrates at least daily - leading to multiple integrations per day. Each integration is verified by an automated build (including test) to detect integration errors as quickly as possible. Many teams find that this approach leads to significantly reduced integration problems and allows a team to develop cohesive software more rapidly.

The biggest issue on software teams is making sure everyone understands what everyone else is doing.

If you're a technical lead, you need to be coding.

Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.
