Clean Coders Podcast

Daniel Markham is a systems architect and self-taught programmer. He got to know the Agile team back in the day and hung with that crowd. Right now he is working on three books at home and some sample projects for CryptoCurrency. He talks about his history, how he got connected with Uncle Bob and the Clean Coders, and how he got into training teams on how to run good teams of programmers. He shares some of his methods for introducing Agile to a team, which is also covered in his book Info Ops. He talks about his method for organizing his work into a book. Daniel explains how to characterize a team that can use Agile through the metaphor of deck builders. He believes that everything falls into the category of either behavior, structures, and supplementals and that you need to have a desired behavior and tests in your mind in order to do proper coding. He shares some methods for beginning to think about issues, especially when moving things from one database or system to another. He believes that it is important to code the minimum amount you need to do the test and make the behavior happen so that you can walk away from your code. He clarifies that ‘walking away from it’ means to make your code so that you can move on from that project to a new one. Daniel talks about how he got into mentoring teams on the Agile method and some of his experiences from consulting. His latest project is on how typing influences programming.

Uncle Bob (Robert C. Martin) has been a coder since 1970, co-founder of cleancoders.com, founder of Uncle Bob Consulting LLC, Master Craftsman at 8th Light Inc, and author of the book Clean Agile. Bob and Chuck start by discussing whether or not there has been a decline in Agile in recent years. Bob does not believe that agile is declining, but rather that because the number of programmers grows so quickly, Agile has become diluted. Bob describes what it was like to be at Snowbird writing the Agile Manifesto. He describes it as one of those rare times where a meeting actually produces something. For Bob, Agile is extreme programming, and they talk about how he came up with the idea for Agile. He talks about the principles in Agile match the principles in extreme programming. They discuss some of the dangers of cherrypicking the Agile method. They talk about what kind of data comes out of agile practices and the importance of analyzing the data and responding properly. The essence of keeping the engineering under control is the essence of any team so that you can maintain and clean and improve the code. He and Chuck talk about other things that teams should be doing to maintain the quality, readability, and maintainability of their code. This includes things like communicating the structure of the code throughout the team, code reviews, and pair programming. They talk about the element of courage required to make consequential decisions at the last moment. The show concludes with Chuck and Bob discussing how to get a team started with Agile methods and Bob talking about his book Clean Agile.  Panelists
