Episode 60: How Developers Fail

In my experience, both personally and with others I've worked with, more junior programmers are most concerned with how to build the thing. But as you gain experience, you find that often the thing you or your team built isn't actually the thing the customer wanted. And this kind of failure is both more difficult to detect and often more expensive to address after the fact.

This week I'm excited to introduce Jon Skeet, who works for Google and is renowned for his Stack Overflow reputation. Jon's going to share some of his knowledge about versioning software, which can certainly be tricky business. I'll let him take it from here.

This week we have our first returning guest, James Hickey. James was on the show earlier for episode 48 on how to accelerate your career. This week, he's back to talk about boundaries withing software systems. James is a software developer working remotely in eastern Canada. He's recently written a book about keeping your code clean called "Refactoring TypeScript" (https://leanpub.com/refactoringtypescript). He's also the author of an open-source .NET Core library called Coravel, which provides advanced capabilities to web applications. Welcome back, James!
