#041 - Letting the tire hit the road ... how much software planning do you really need?


Listen Later

This week we talk with Thomas Gaigher about software planning ...

We discuss many things ranging from the Zen of Python, being pragmatic as a software developer, his pypyr open source project (a lightweight task runner implemented in pure Python), how to start a software project without getting stuck in analysis paralysis (both in a company or on your own), premature optimization, adaptability and much more ...

There are a lot of nuggets in this episode so make a coffee (or grab your favorite beverage), sit back and give it a listen.

To the person who asked about software planning on our Slack:

Thanks! We hope this helps you moving your project(s) forward.

Links mentioned:
- The Law of Leaky Abstractions
- Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names
- Agile Manifesto

Thomas' pypyr open-source taskrunner (not Piper lol!)

You can contact Thomas on our Slack (yaythomas).

Hope you enjoy this episode, and feel free to reach out to us on Slack or email us with any feedback or ideas for upcoming episodes.
