(Part 1/2) Remote Work - An Engineer’s Perspective (feat. Jason Crum)

In this podcast episode, Krish interviews Jason Crum, a Senior Enterprise Architect, about remote work from an engineer's perspective. They discuss various aspects of remote work, including pre-pandemic, during pandemic, and post-pandemic experiences, preferences for remote or in-office work, benefits and challenges of remote work, limitations of remote work, social interaction, pairing in remote work, implementing remote work in startups, team dynamics, and challenges of non-engineers in remote teams.

Takeaways

  • Remote work offers flexibility and the ability to manage time effectively.
  • Remote work can limit social interaction and the ability to collaborate in person.
  • Pairing in remote work can be challenging but can also be beneficial for certain tasks.
  • Implementing remote work in startups requires considering team dynamics and ensuring everyone is either remote or in-office.
  • Non-engineers in remote teams may face unique challenges.

Myths of Software Development (Part 3/3)

(Part 3/3) When it comes to Software Development(much like everything else), there are myths. And while technologies and stacks have changed frequently, I've hardly seen many of these myths go away (not for good, at least). In this 3-part series (yes, it took me that many!), I try to break those myths. #projectmanagement Manage your projects on https://snowpal.com. Keep it simple.

It’s important that you develop across stacks (wide and deep)

It’s important that you develop across stacks (wide and deep)

By wide, I mean Polyglot development. By deep, I mean Full stack development. In today's day and age, it is all the more important that you don't end up being a single-language developer. It's a bit too risky. #projectmanagement Manage your projects on https://snowpal.com. Keep it simple.

If your requirements aren't complete, there is a problem. Sounds obvious? It sure is but, unfortunately, this is one of those recurring issues in Software Development that happens all too often and before you know it, your team is developing software to a specification that is not even close to being complete. #projectmanagement Manage your projects on https://snowpal.com.
