Working Code065: TDD In the Trenches with Scott StrozSponsorsAudible - get a free audiobook from Audible with no strings attached at https://workingcode.dev/audibleTesting code is like taking out insurance: until you need it, it can be hard to understand why it's so important; it can be hard to understand what everyone is raving about. And so, you continue writing your code without tests. And, everything is fine, until one day it isn't. And in that moment, you finally see for yourself what value automated testing could have brought to the table.On today's show, the crew talks to Scott Stroz abo...2022-03-0941 min

Required reading for data science
A question we frequently get asked is: what books should I read to be a better data scientist/machine learning engineer? This may not surprise you, but there isn’t just one answer — depending on the skills you have, your knowledge base, the point of your career that you’re in, and many other factors, there are many books you could read that will help you learn more. This month, we cover several ways to improve the skills you ne...2021-04-0843 min
Working Code017: Premature OptimizationThis week, the crew talks about "premature optimization". As Ben explained it to his wife, this is when you "solve problems that you don't have yet". But, what kind of problems are we talking about? Missing features? Missing methodologies? Missing performance characteristics? It seems that every aspect of the development life-cycle offers up potential pitfalls in which we may chase "perfection" needlessly when all we really needed was something that was "good enough." In the best case scenario, premature optimization is a waste of time. But, in the worst case scenario, premature optimization can kill a project before it e...2021-04-0753 min
The Stack Overflow PodcastHow long does good code last?This week's discussion was inspired by an article from Sandi Metz, which you can find here. It begins with a terrific line, defining the half-life of software as, "the amount of time required for half of an application's code to change so much that it becomes unrecognizable."This topic also connected to a post we ran on the Stack Overflow blog this week, Sacrificial Architecture: learning from abandoned systems. The author, Mohamad Aladdin, suggest that one should "think of your code quality as if it will run forever, but adapt to change as if your code will b...2021-03-0520 min
We Belong Here: Lessons from Unconventional Paths to Tech34. Jonan Scheffler: On the Value of Authentic Relationships in TechToday Lauren chats with Jonan Scheffler, who had over 40 jobs before entering the tech industry. He loved tech growing up but wasn't wildly intrigued or inspired by his CS classes and thus wasn’t interested in pursuing it as a career. He dabbled in various roles such as factory work, car sales, but eventually became a poker dealer on the Oregon coast. When he began searching for roles in tech, he googled who was being paid the most and decided he wanted to become a Ruby developer. He then took the massive leap of faith, moved his fam...2021-01-0433 min

Blissful Programmer05 Presentation mattersIn this episode we will talk about why code presentation matters.
The code you write should be the one you would love to work with in the future. Anyone can code by watching a video these days. The main differentiation between programmers is the way they make the code very easy to understand and follow through. Good programmer take time to present the code in a very easy to understand and work with manner.
This is not easy skill and it takes time, practice and lots of conceptual reading. But I would urge you...2020-10-0620 min
