How To Deal With Unfriendly Technologies
451Not all problem solving is neat and tidy, we are often dealing with unfriendly tech and difficult, uncooperative software. Computer programming is only about elegant design and test driven development in a green-field development. So what do we do when faced with the grungier end of the spectrum. What does it take to do a better job of solving problems when the problems aren’t playing ball?
In this episode Dave Farley, author of best sellers “Continuous Delivery” and “Modern Software Engineering” uses his recent personal experience with some uncooperative software to talk about how to approach problem solving in these situations.
