It's like technical debt - you pay now or pay later, and if you pay later, it's going to be more expensive." — Austin Chadwick"We tend to have multiple releases a day all the way to production. Most mobs will deliver to production at least twice a day - four hours of work and then deliver to prod." — Chris LucianResources MentionedMob Mentality Show - Podcast dedicated to mob programming practices and extreme programming techniquesKent Beck's Test-Driven Development Book - Foundational resource for understanding true TDD practices in embedded developmentAmy Edmondson's Teaming Book - Framework for understanding high uncertainty and high interdependence scenarios in technical teamsLiminal Thinking - Mental framework for breaking through belief-based barriers in agile transformation You can find Jeff at https://jeffgable.com.You can find Luca at https://luca.engineer.Want to join the agile Embedded Slack?
