An Agile Budget Keeps You From Being A Code Monkey

from Healthy Developer Hosted by Jayme Edwards

If you feel like a "code monkey" with pressure to work fast – you need an agile budget. It took me many years, but I finally figured out the reason why. Companies that try to build software like a manufacturing plant budget the wrong way. This creates pressure on workers, and produces boring products that barely keep a software company profitable. At companies that understand this, you'll be more creative and spend less time trying to estimate. If the leaders at your software company don't understand this, they may still have a (barely) profitable business, but they'll be wasting tons of money. In this episode, I share hard learned lessons about the software industry that every company should build their foundation upon. Agile budgeting is a key to healthy software development company culture – and careers!
