In this week's episode Faye and James welcome two inspiring guests: Natalie Gray, head of marketing and partnerships at Codurance, and Ilker Akansel, a community strategy consultant. They delve into the importance of grassroots tech communities and how they contribute to a vibrant tech ecosystem.Key Insights include:· The Importance of Community: Ilker emphasises, “Technical communities provide support to all the moving parts within entrepreneurial ecosystems.” These communities foster collaboration and innovation, essential for growth in the tech sector.· Creating Safe Spaces: Natalie shares that grassroots communities offer a “safe space where you can practice, make mistakes, and learn your craft.” This is crucial for both newcomers and seasoned professionals looking to enhance their skills.· Intentionality in Community Building: Ilker highlights the need for a clear purpose in community initiatives, stating, “If you put the member journey at the centre of the community, you can't really fail.” This focus ensures that communities remain relevant and valuable to their members.· Regular Engagement: Natalie stresses the importance of consistency, saying, “As soon as you start skipping events, that's when cracks start to show.” Regular meetings help maintain engagement and commitment from members.Produced by Cambridge TV Hosted on Acast.

En este nuevo episodio, Kristian Muñoz e Ismael Séndros, ambos Software Craftspeople en Codurance, nos presentan diversas estrategias de testing, evaluándolas desde la perspectiva de negocio. Nos presentan lo que ellos denominan la pirámide de testing ampliada, ofreciendo una visión más profunda de las diferentes etapas de la pirámide de testing que todos conocemos. Explican cómo estas etapas se relacionan con las distintas necesidades de una organización, permitiendo maximizar el tiempo y los recursos económicos invertidos. Al final de la sesión, discuten ejemplos reales de grandes proyectos, liderados por empresas como la NASA y la Agencia Espacial Europea, que se han visto perjudicados por no contar con una estrategia de testing sólida.   Para más contenido relacionado al testing te recomendamos nuestra playlist de TDD.

Richard talks to Natalie Gray, Head of Marketing and Partnerships at Codurance. Natalie is a former colleague and an expert community builder, previously with Voxgig and now with software consultancy Codurance. In Codurance, Natalie and her colleagues are inherently linked to the Software Craftsmanship manifesto– a mindset to software engineering. Can your software scale with your business? Natalie explains that the Software Craftsmanship mission is to raise the bar in the software industry through professionalism and technical excellence. Ingrained in this mindset is the desire to always be and do better—to continuously push the limits in pursuit of excellence. The genesis of Codurance is in the Software Craftsmanship community founded by Sandro Mancuso and Mashooq Badar. With a community of over 6,000 developers in London alone, this is a living manifesto in a thriving community. With regard to community success, Natalie is a firm believer in the need for integrity in your community purpose. A lot of people want to focus on quality and are proud of what they do, so a space for them to share and come together without a commercial reason allows new tech ideas to be born. An important aspect of preventing things to feel commercially driven is in your approach to content – are you producing resources and content people need and want rather than just selling stuff? DevRel measuring gets touched on again, specifically on community, how do you know its sustainable? Natalie's advice is to talk to your community. Ask them, is this what you want? And watch out for the core groups, the committed returning members, their enthusiasm is the thing to measure, not the size of the attendance. All in all, this is a focused discussion on creating and supporting communities to ensure and recognise success and impacts.

“When I think about well-crafted software, it’s code that we are not scared to change. The code clearly specifies what it does. When we change one part of it, don’t break the other. You always feel that you are in control. You are controlling the code, not the other way around." Sandro Mancuso is the author of “The Software Craftsman” and co-founder of Codurance. In this episode, Sandro shared his great insights on how developers can become a software craftsman by adopting professionalism, pragmatism, and pride mindset to achieve higher levels of technical excellence. We started off with Sandro’s career journey, how he adopted the software craftsmanship mindset in his career and started the London Software Craftsmanship Community. We then dived deep into Software Craftsmanship, how it relates to agile, and the importance of a well-crafted software. We also discussed his latest work on Software Modernization, the principles behind a successful modernization, the business drivers, and common impediments. In the end, Sandro re-emphasized the importance of pragmatism and how we can improve our pragmatism in our career.

Sandro Mancuso started his consultancy business 6 years ago and is one of the pioneers of software craftsmanship in the UK. He learned software craftsmanship from Uncle Bob in Chicago and brought it to the UK and Europe. He has also written a book called The Software Craftsman. Sandro talks about how he met Uncle Bob and got things started in the UK and Europe. He talks about some of the difficulties he encountered, especially in the split between technical focused Agile and process-focused Agile. This split led to the formation of the craftsmanship movement. The core ideas of software craftsmanship are a professional attitude, personal responsibility, community, and professional attitude for clients. Software craftsmanship ideals are best implemented through introspection. Sandro gives some examples on how to get started. For people trying to adopt software craftsmanship without experience, the best resource is the nearby or online community since there has been an effort to keep it an ideology rather than concrete. Clean code books are a must-read for those interested in software craftsmanship. Sandro talks about some software craftsmanship ideas on how to organize teams and some of the first steps to becoming a software craftsman. For Sandro’s company, the first step would be the acquisition of technical skills, consultancy skills, and teamwork, but he acknowledges that every company has different criteria. The show concludes with Sandro talking about a book he has in the works.  Panelist Charles Max Wood Guest Sandro Mancuso ____________________________ > "The MaxCoders Guide to Finding Your Dream Developer Job" by Charles Max Wood is now available on Amazon.

I got a chance to join NSManchester for another meetup, all about server-side Swift. Then I discover typescript which always brings to memory words of Bob Gregory of Cazoo I heard on Codurance podcast https://codurance.com/podcasts/2019-12-02-serverless/ And at the end I am really trying my best not to name-shame one company. You want to know why and whether I succeeded? Tune in and enjoy!

I got a feedback from my last tech test. Instead of (just) complaining I decided to analyze it and see how I can grow from it. Then I signed up for another meetup group and I heard a great podcast from Codurance https://codurance.com/podcasts/2019-12-02-serverless/ but only listen to it after you finished listening to mine. Enjoy!

Em um mundo de transformação digital, tratar tecnologia como ativo estratégico para entregar resultados de negócio é fator crítico de sucesso.

DESCRIPTION Welcome to the I.T. Career Energizer Podcast. In this episode Phil Burgess has Sandro Mancuso as his guest. Sandro is an international and inspiring I.T. consultant, a speaker who is the co- founder of Codurance and the founder of The London Craftmanship Community. Sandro is the author of The Software Craftsman. It can be appreciated that Sandro Mancuso with 22 years experience in software gives sound advice to all who are looking to succeed in whatever field they work in. KEY TAKEAWAYS Phil Burgess starts the interview asking Sandro to tell us about his career. Sandro, who is Brazilian, started at the age of 11 years when his father bought him a TK85 2X. He discovered he could type games and codes which helped him decide that was the path he wanted to take at university.  He also wanted to come to London as he knew at that time it was the hub of I.T. software. He advices us to separate our career from our job and goes on to explain how to approach this. Phil asks Sandro to tell us about his worst I.T. experience, Sandro describes to us about working in the year 2007 and 2008 when all the apps were being planned he tells us how he was employed by a company who did not listen to advice and subsequently the system went down on numerous occasions. He reminds us that software is everywhere and that it is a discipline on its own. BEST MOMENTS Sandro was working with someone he admired greatly and wanted to impress him, he was given a task which he worked on as quickly as possible to achieve a good impression, when he took it to the person he admired that person destroyed the code and deleted it. The person he so admired gave him this advice “how it is done is as important as getting it done”. Phil asks for a parting piece of advice.  Sandro’s advice is” do not let anyone else control you career” He advises “Don’t blame companies if they do not create some space for you to learn, your career is your responsibility”   ABOUT THE HOST Phil Burgess, an I.T. consultant, mentor, and coach, is the creator and host of I.T.
