-
032 - Design- and Style-Guides
We talk about guides and rules for programmers in the scope of their code style and object style. With the help of book author Matthias Noback we realize that there is more possible with static analysis than one might think. And there is definitely a use for a catalogue of stereotypes of classes....
-
031 - GraphQL, the future of APIs?
In this episode, we discussed with Nik Graf about GraphQL and why he thinks it is a future-proof way to create APIs for client applications. We tried to distill the main advantages over classical REST, and figured out scenarios when it shines, but also took a look at possible drawbacks. TL/DR:...

010 - Keeping up to date with our knowledge of software developers
In a smaller than usual group we discuss with Gottfried Szing how we keep on the pulse of our craft and industry. This discussion leads us from Twitter feeds over local communities to the dislike of conferences as advertisements in disguise.

-
007: Testing the tests and the universal-hexagonal-vertical-ports-and-adapters-layered architecture
2019 gets even stronger with a lot to discuss. First we ask how much testing do our tests need. Is it a smell if we feel we should test our tests? Then we do a run-down on common architectures. What are the benefits and drawbacks? How do they relate to each other? And can someone survive never...

005: Code Quality and introducing TDD in a (legacy) project
We started this episode discussing about readability of code. What actually is readability? It seems, that next to names, there are other important things to consider, like visual structure. In the second part we talked about how to get started with Test Driven Development (TDD) in a project were...
-
004: Duplication, Duplication, and dependencies - mixed with schools of development
How bad is duplication on different levels? When should we prefer having some code in our codebase over taking the dependency to a library? Is all duplication equal? In the first topic of this episode we discuss several aspects of duplication in a code base and the impact on stability,...
-
003: Is BDD worth the overhead, and should I prefer being a specialist or a generalist?
In this episode, we were discussing the (i) additional cost of following BDD. We concluded that the core of BDD is the understanding of what needs to be done and as such, it can be compared to TDD or ATDD. Maybe there is no additional cost, rather a cost of not doing it. During the second part…

002: Learning as a Software Engineer and Fred Brook's accidental and essential complexity
In this episode, we tackled two topics: (i) How we meet the requirements of constantly learning new technologies and what approaches we use to drive this efficiently. In addition, we try to find a common understanding, at which point in time something can be considered as known or learned. After...
