Eric talks about his experience with OS-9 programming and how he made the switch to mobile development. Chuck and Eric talk about their mutual experience working with smart boards. Eric transitions to talking about how IOS development has changed over the past 10 years. When a new operating system comes out, his go-to method for learning is to pick up a book. He reads the book cover to cover, but he only codes from the first third of it, which is the basic concepts.

He learned software craftsmanship from Uncle Bob in Chicago and brought it to the UK and Europe. He has also written a book called The Software Craftsman. Sandro talks about how he met Uncle Bob and got things started in the UK and Europe. He talks about some of the difficulties he encountered, especially in the split between technical focused Agile and process-focused Agile. This split led to the formation of the craftsmanship movement. The core ideas of software craftsmanship are a professional attitude, personal responsibility, community, and professional attitude for clients. Software craftsmanship ideals are best implemented through introspection. Sandro gives some examples on how to get started. For people trying to adopt software craftsmanship without experience, the best resource is the nearby or online community since there has been an effort to keep it an ideology rather than concrete. Clean code books are a must-read for those interested in software craftsmanship. Sandro talks about some software craftsmanship ideas on how to organize teams and some of the first steps to becoming a software craftsman. For Sandro’s company, the first step would be the acquisition of technical skills, consultancy skills, and teamwork, but he acknowledges that every company has different criteria. The show concludes with Sandro talking about a book he has in the works. Panelist

He starts the show by talking about the path he sees people following when they come through Thinkful, which includes weekly meetings with a mentor in the industry. Every person that uses Thinkful comes out prepared for an entry-level position or apprenticeship. Chris talks about the importance of having different levels of skill and experience in a team. He and Chuck discuss the different points at which people start caring about clean code, which is all based on a desire to improve their methods of doing things. He talks about different ways to approach refactoring and how clean code and working code go together. They discuss how the solid principles of clean coding play out in an object-oriented language like JavaScript and the shift in the identity of a frontend developer in the past 15 years. For Chris, clean code is code that can be easily changed, and that is the ultimate goal. Clean code can be achieved through design principles and judgment. He and Chuck discuss how to know the right amount each to apply. Chris believes it comes down to solving problems you actually have and making the system legible. At Thinkful, they focus on quality, keeping your work in progress low, and delivering early and often. He talks about how to balance people’s desire to get more features and the need to slow down for business reasons and how to recognize friction between the two. Chris talks about how he takes the lead in writing quality software. The show concludes with Chris talking about some of his current projects. Panelists
