They explore the importance of short feedback loops, iterative learning, and adaptability in different phases of product development, as outlined in Beck's 3X model (Exploration, Expansion, Extraction).Kent introduces radical techniques like Test && Commit || Revert (TCR) and Limbo, which challenge traditional coding and collaboration practices by emphasizing tiny, safe iterations. The conversation ties in psychological safety, a key factor in high-performing teams, as outlined by Amy C. Edmondson.Kent envisions a future where software development scales in real-time, pushing teams to embrace faster experimentation, responsibility, and continuous learning in a rapidly evolving tech landscape.RECOMMENDED BOOKSKent Beck • Tidy First?Kent Beck & Cynthia Andres • Extreme Programming ExplainedAmy C.

Rather than using code coverage as just this almost dimensionless metric, use it as a signal to guide you." — Steve"By adhering very strictly to the simple rules of how to do BDD, by forcing yourself to the discipline of that strict adherence, it keeps you on track." — SteveResources MentionedJames Grenning's bookSteve's blog postEmbedded Online TalkIan Cooper's video You can find Jeff at https://jeffgable.com.You can find Luca at https://luca.engineer.Want to join the agile Embedded Slack?

When even The Federal Reserve takes note of your economic impact, you know you're a big deal. And that's just one of the many accomplishments attributed to Taylor Swift, whose 2023-2024 Eras tour has become the highest-grossing of all-time, and the first ever to rake in more than $1-billion in revenue, boosting local businesses across the country. But Swift isn't the only musician, athlete, or organization with an oversized impact on the economy.On this episode of Wheel of Risk, host Alix McCabe sits down once again with Dan North, the Senior Economist for North America at Allianz Trade, for a deep dive into the ripple effect that occurs whenever a famous musical act, high-stakes playoff game, or big business conference comes to town. They explore how — ticket sales aside — these marquee events also generate spending on everything from lodging and transportation to restaurants, retailers, and much more. They also discuss what local businesses can do to ‘get on the bandwagon' and take advantage of all those juicy opportunities when they do arise.

Higher gas prices. Limited air travel options. Packed cruise ships. Hotel rooms and campsites booked up months in advance. Yes, it's that time of year again — summer vacation season! And that means a bevy of both risks and opportunities for businesses and consumers alike. Anyone else get thirsty at the mention of a ‘bevy'? On this episode of Wheel of Risk, host Alix McCabe is joined once again by series stalwart and Senior Economist for North America at Allianz Trade, Dan North, to dive into the economic ups and downs associated with summer travel. They'll explore which types of business and which industries tend to see a seasonal spike in spending, and what companies can do to cash in on those juicy, tourist dollars. They'll also explain why some goods and services tend to get more expensive over the summer, and how individual travelers can maximize their time and their money. Listen until the very end for a special ‘Hot or Not' segment, where Dan shares his take on recent summer travel trends.
It's a term that's seen a lot of use and prompted plenty of anxiety over the past few years: recession. Ever since the start of the pandemic, there's been a barrage of media coverage about the state of the economy and where it's headed. But it turns out, recessions may not be the economic bogeymen they're made out to be… they're simply part of a boom-bust cycle that dates back hundreds of years.On this episode of Wheel of Risk, host Alix McCabe is joined by series stalwart Dan North, the Senior Economist for North America at Allianz Trade, for a deep dive into the cyclical nature of the U.S. economic system. One part history lesson, one part economics lesson, with a pinch of prognostication on the side, this podcast is essential listening for any business owner or manager who's concerned about the toll that tough economic times can take on their organization's bottom line.We'd also love to learn more about you and what you'd like to hear on future episodes, so please take two minutes to fill out this survey.
Dan North, Senior Economist for Allianz Trade North America, joins host Barry Bobrow for this informative discussion on a wide range of topics. He shares his views on Fed Policy and the potential for a recession, as well as offering commentary on the health of the American consumer and thoughts on the economic impact of current U.S. political gridlock.
Have you ever noticed that there tends to be a spike in retail bankruptcies every January? It's no coincidence. It's because the preceding period from Black Friday to Christmas is among the most critical times of the entire year for many retailers, the suppliers with which they do business, and the U.S. economy in general.On this special seasonal episode of Wheel of Risk, host Alix McCabe is again joined by regular contributor Dan North, Allianz Trade's Senior Economist for North America, for a timely deep dive into the importance of the holiday shopping season. Together, they examine the specific risk factors facing seasonal retailers, and discuss which economic conditions, like inflation, food costs, and gas prices, may affect or help predict how much money shoppers are going to spend. Dan will also share his forecast for the 2023 holiday shopping season in particular to help anyone with ties to the retail sector know what to expect.
How can you confidently continue to do business with companies that could lose funding from their banks? That's a question many organizations have been grappling with since the historic situation in the U.S.financial sector. The much-publicized failure of Silicon Valley Bank was actually one of three bank collapses in March of 2023, and the fallout could continue to pose a challenge for some time to come.On this season premiere episode of Wheel of Risk, host Alix McCabe sits down with Justin Seedorf, Southwest Regional Vice President at Allianz Trade Americas, for a comprehensive look at the cause and ramifications of the situation at SVB. They'll also hear from Dan North, Allianz Trade's Senior Economist for North America, who breaks down the long-term outlook for banks, their customers, and the economy in general, as they contend with the new regulatory environment in which they find themselves.

Fredrik snackar med Lars Albertsson om data engineering - att hitta och agera på möjligheter i sin data, att förändra processer och arbetssätt, och vara med på att man kanske behöver ändra mycket fler saker för att få full effekt av en förändring. Lars går på djupet både i nyttan av att använda sin data på bra sätt, och i varför det är så svårt och så många projekt inte ger värst stor utdelning. Tidningars förhållningssätt är värdefullt i sammanhanget - gör något som är nyttigt för någon nu. Få ut värde tidigt. Gör inte som Lego. Drivs av use case. Följ värdeströmmarna och organisera längs med dem istället för att hamna på tvären och dämma upp dem. Lars tar också upp hur man sprider tillgången på data på ett bra sätt, och inte minst vikten av att ta ansvar för sin data och hur man hanterar den. Alla sätt att sprida data är definitivt inte bra.

It's one of those scenarios almost any business owner can relate to: one of your critical customers -- who accounts for a big chunk of your revenue -- is falling further and further behind on their payments, then stops meeting their deadlines altogether. What can you do, other than panic? On this series premiere episode of Wheel of Risk, presented by Allianz Trade, join host Alix McCabe as she sits down with Tim Nemec, the Chief Financial Officer of M. Lipsitz & Co. LTD, to discuss just such a situation. They'll also hear from Allianz Trade's Senior Economist for North America, Dan North, as they explore the surprisingly high-risk world of scrap metal recycling, where fluctuating commodity prices can be the difference between feast and famine. Listen to the very end for Dan's expert analysis on the current economic situation, including the looming likelihood of recession, and for Tim's ‘parting gift' to listeners; some important advice to help other businesses avoid the same snags his company has faced.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Today, we decided we'd have a chat about the 8 principles or tenets for a high performance serverless first team. 1. 'Chase a business outcome or a KPI' A team should know what business KPI they're working towards. You should be able to tap a person on the shoulder and have them tell you what they're working on. And what business impact the work they're doing is going to have. If the team says 'I don't know', then you run a Northstar workshop. After the Northstar workshop if nobody can think of a KPI then the next step is to ask if the team should be doing this work. It's not that they are a bad team. They are being asked to do the wrong stuff. 2. 'Be secure by design' Don't do security afterwards. Bake it in from the start. It's everyone's job. It's such a difficult thing to retrofit. Use threat models and get it done early. Try to solve for what you can and what you know. Bake it into all your engineering practices. And bake it into your pipelines. Shift it all left and help to enable teams to be more secure. Security has a risk profile, if you don't do it right. And it can be an existential risk for the businesses if you don't have a secure solution. 3. 'Keep a high throughput of work' That is borrowed from the DORA metrics in the 'Accelerate' book by Nicole Forsgren. This principle looks at high throughput, which is deployment frequency and lead time. For serverless teams, it is key to make changes fast and frequent. And always be learning and driving observability. As Charity Majors says, "speed is stability". The more frequently you do something, the more you deploy to production. You're actually improving your stability. You smooth out the pathways and the error conditions. And you bake it into your pipelines. Which means that you automate a lot of the stuff that could go wrong. 4. 'Reliably run, high stability system' That's the other two DORA metrics of throughput and stability. A lot of discussions with test teams, QA and software engineers drive the need for investment in world class quality and testing capabilities/practices. If you're not stable, where's the gap? What scenarios and behaviours have you not covered? It drives the right evolution. When you look at three and four, you can't achieve any of them if you've got things in the middle. Or handoffs, or if you are dumping things over walls. It's about promoting ownership. To get elite scores, you need to know what you're doing and embrace that approach. 5. 'Rent or reuse with build as a final option' How do you do that? Serverless! With Serverless and SaaS and our background you're used to going straight to the workspace. And with the FORESEE diagram, we find out what we are doing and it is coding. It's a mindset thing. It's back to knowing your business purpose. And then knowing your business KPIs. If you can achieve business outcomes without doing code you are at your most optimal. If you can leverage a SaaS offering that does what you need, that's probably the next thing. And finally you need to build following a serverless first mindset and approach. Using all the serviceful offerings and managed services. 6. 'Continuously optimise the total cost' This is the best question to ask any team. Good teams will tell you how much their cloud costs are. But loads of teams have no idea. This is a great measure of a good team. They have a cost in mind. A good team will tell you the run cost. And a great team will tell you the total cost. But really good teams will get into a worst case development conversation about how much features cost. And how much revenue they're bringing in. In other words, how impactful they are to the business. 7. 'Build event driven via strong API's' This sounds very easy. But from talking to Sam Dengler, nobody is doing this properly. We've been talking about this for 20 years. Proper integration is still a mystery to most people. It is about making sure you've got the right things in the right places. But also at the right size. And having things that are composable. It's about breaking things up into their smallest constituent parts. And change things as frequently as possible. I find that this one takes a lot of evolution and yields through different levels of complexity. And it takes time. You should always be thinking about it. 8. 'Build solutions that fit in their heads'. This principle is borrowed from Dan North. In other words, don't build crazy systems that are too complicated. This has a nice nod towards Team Topologies and setting proper boundaries. We've seen teams become victims to crazy architectures. Where there's too much to fit in your head and the cognitive load breaks people. When we are getting teams going my manta is 'just enough design'. Some teams want to design everything up front and go into huge amounts of detail. But it is better to keep your world small. Focus on what you're doing today.

I denne episode har Ole og Katrine en gæst i studiet, nemlig Aino Vonge Corry, forfatteren til “Retrospective Antipatterns”. Aino er retrospective-NØRD, hvilket fører til en triple-nørde-faktor i studiet. For retrospectivet er hjertet i Agile. Eller… den praksis at lære af erfaringer og kontinuerligt forbedre sit flow og sine processer. For alt for mange retrospectives bliver mekaniske og kedelige. Et retrospective fungerer kun, hvis det vitterligt er en arena for læring. Men hvad gør man for at få det til at ske? Hvordan designer man? Hvordan faciliterer man menneskers forskellighed? Hvordan bringer man gruppen frem til saftige beslutninger? Og ikke mindst: hvad gør man med det allervigtigste tidsrum, nemlig tiden MELLEM retrospectives, hvor handlinger skal omsættes til adfærd?
Do the SOLID principles still make sense? Carl and Richard talk to Dan North about SOLID, starting with a five-minute PubConf talk that Dan did about how SOLID was wrong. Meant to be humorous (it was PubConf after all), the SOLID fans took exception, and actually led to Dan exploring how SOLID could be reinterpreted... as CUPID. With a lot of back story and laughs, Dan digs into his thinking around making sustainable, quality software with the acronym CUPID.

An update on the economic impact of COVID-19 from Euler Hermes North America Senior Economist Dan North.
Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) is a term that was coined by Dan North in 2006. It came about as a response to a very specific problem – teaching developers how to think about testing their code. It incorporates the ubiquitous language idea from Eric Evan’s book Domain-Driven Design, and this evolved into a technique used by the whole team to collaboratively specify how the finished system should behave. While both approaches focus on collaboration, DDD focuses on a shared model for building software and BDD focusses on specifying the behaviour of the system. So what can we learn from both our techniques? Join us in this session were Seb Rose, Steve Tooke and Matt Wynne will discuss with us how we can improve modelling with BDD. We will bust popular BDD myths and talk about their favourite collaboration techniques.

More this week on ways to fail with agile by making unilateral assumptions - this week's tip is to believe you are right and everyone else is wrong. In fact, even the underlying assumption that there is a single right answer should get you a long way to fracturing your team and ensuring discord. Squirrel tells a story of someone particularly skilled at explaining why he knows the One True Agile Way and Jeffrey recalls that Mark Twain quote about the problem being what you know that ain't so (and one thing that ain't so is that the quote is from Mark Twain!)

Guest Bio: Dan North is the originator of Behaviour-Driven Development and Deliberate Discovery. He has been coaching, coding, and consulting for over 25 years and uses his knowledge to help CIOs, businesses, and software teams to deliver quickly and successfully. Dan is also a frequent speaker at conferences and has contributed to a number of books, including 97 Things Every Programmer Should Know. Episode Description: In this episode, Dan shares his excitement on how wide open the field of IT remains, and that it continues to be powered by a strong sense of innovation and creativity. He also talks with Phil about the benefits of choosing your own path, the value of diversity, and the importance of empathy. Key Takeaways: (1.22) Phil starts things off asking Dan to tell us more about himself and what he’s working on. Dan talks about how’s been working independently for almost six years now and that one of the downsides of being independent is having to run the actual business as well as do the work and that it takes up time that he would like to spend on book-writing. He adds that he also recently became a father and has less disposable time than ever before “and I couldn’t be happier about it.” (4.19) Phil then asks Dan to share a unique career tip, to which Dan responds first with the fact that IT as an industry is barely into its second generation and that this can be immensely freeing because it means the industry hasn’t become stuck in a rut of making people do things a certain way. He says that because of this, even people who are new to the business have just as much a chance of making their ideas successful as people who have been in the business for many years. (8.09) Dan then brings things back around by saying that the best tip he can think to give is for people just starting out in the industry to not “institutionalize themselves” and keep questioning and thinking of better ways to do things because everyone is just “making this up.” (9.02) Dan continues this line of thought by saying that even if he had been asked as recently as ten years ago, he could not have possibly predicted where we would be today in terms of technology and what would be “hot and exciting.” He also says he can’t wait to see what keyboards finally get replaced with. (10.41) Phil asks Dan about his worst IT career moment, and Dan tells a story about the second “real” job he ever had, where he was the senior software engineer for a database marketing business. He describes that there was one single database that essentially did everything for the company and that he, by typing something in the wrong terminal, accidentally shut down, along with the entire server. Dan says that rather than punish or fire him, that his boss instead told him that he was going to learn about database restores, and they manually restored the database all night. (15.59) Phil moves on to asking about career successes, and Dan replies that he actually has a hard time thinking of what’s been the highlight of his career because he’s still learning and growing and that he has not had a very straightforward career path. Dan continues that rather he’s always just gone after opportunities as they appeared or based on what interested him and that even things he’s proud of, such as the first time he was a keynote speaker at a conference, happened essentially by accident. He emphasizes not getting too hung up on having a rigid career plan, as it can lead to you missing out on interesting experiences and opportunities. (19.04) When Phil asks what excites Dan most about the future of IT, he reiterates that what excites him the most is that he has no idea what the future of IT will look like. Apart from that, he says that the strong shift towards more diversity in the field of IT excites him very much because it means opening up a much larger talent pool of different viewpoints, life experiences, and ways of thinking. (22.41) On the topic of the best career advice that he’d ever received, Dan responds that it was actually advice from a friend in the context of relationship problems he was having and that it was to “never settle for second best.” Dan adds that it has translated into every part of his life, such as looking at jobs and asking himself if he’s just taking a job because it’s there and settling. (24.35) On that note, Phil asks Dan about his current career objectives, to which Dan says that mostly he’s just trying to find interesting people and interesting challenges before adding that he’s tinkering with an idea for finding a better way to locate people for jobs that are good at working on teams in a way that gets people excited and motivated and can grow a team. Phil notes that people with these qualities are hard to find but easy to spot. (28.16) Upon being asked about the non-technical skill that he has found the most useful, Dan mentions listening as a “powerful non-technical skill,” before adding that he also thinks that sharing information and empathy are both incredibly important as well. (31.04) Lastly, Phil asks Dan if he has any final words of advice for someone starting a career in IT. Dan advises that someone should always do the best they can at whatever job they happen to be doing. He says that even if it feels like a pointless task if you always do your best someone is going to recognize that. Best Moments: (6.51) Dan: “So my big unique career tip would be to just be aware that we’re making this up. This isn’t just Imposter Syndrome...it’s literally, the things we’re doing, no one knew about earlier.” (8.09) Dan: “Don’t institutionalize yourself, we are making this up.” (8.12) Phil: “I think any new career or technology is gonna go through those learning pains as well. If nobody’s been there and done it before, it’s all new, by definition.” (18.03) Dan: “I’d say the only deliberate career move I’ve made was going independent just five and a half years ago...and I had no idea what I was gonna do or where it was gonna go...and I’m still not entirely sure what I want to be when I grow up. But I’m having some adventures, and I’m working with some really interesting organizations.” (30.32) Dan: “As a developer, understanding who you’re building software for is massive. As a manager, understanding that if you have a struggling team, you don’t have a struggling team you have a system of work that presents as a struggling team, so you need to go fix the system of work. It’s understanding the interconnectedness of things.” (31.04) Dan: “Whatever you’re doing, do it the best that you can, even if it’s a thing that you think sucks, even if you don’t see the point of it.” Contact Dan North LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dannorth/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/tastapod @tastapod Website: https://dannorth.net/ Contributor to Book: https://www.amazon.com/Things-Every-Programmer-Should-Know/dp/0596809484

This month on the Cucumber Podcast, we speak about The Screenplay Pattern. As John Ferguson describes it on his [site](http://serenity-bdd.info/docs/articles/screenplay-tutorial.html), "the Screenplay Pattern is a powerful and elegant approach to designing and implementing automated tests, providing a number of improvements over more traditional approaches such as the Page Objects model." The conversation covers why you should consider following the Screenplay Pattern and its potential drawbacks. The conversation closes with our guests providing a single tip for folks looking to try out the Screenplay Pattern on their own. Joining your host Aslak Hellesøy are John Smart, Jan Molak, Angie Jones, Nat Pryce, Matt Wynne and Steve Tooke. ### Shownotes: CukenFest London, April 19th-20th - Join us for our annual conference focused on helping you build stronger ties between business and IT.

The history of testers and developers working together is a bumpy road. Throughout the evolution of software development, testers have struggled to be treated as equals and developers have lacked the understanding of why they should care. Yet some teams do it well - both roles have a good experience and the resulting software benefits from the different perspectives. In this podcast, Franziska and Maaret speak to Matt Wynne to share some tips on how to improve this in your team. Show notes: CukenFest London, April 19th-20th.

Can Agile scale to thousands of people? While at NDC London, Carl and Richard sat down with Dan North (and a bottle of scotch) and had a deep conversation about the limits of agile and how we can get beyond that limit. Agile naturally lends itself to feature teams - 5-10 people who have a variety of skills that can get a feature out the door. But to build more substantial software, you need more people, typically broken into more teams... and that generates the scrum-of-scrums, etc. Dan talks about organizing teams differently to keep productivity high and the quality where it needs to be - scale agile!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/net-rocks/donations

But to build more substantial software, you need more people, typically broken into more teams... and that generates the scrum-of-scrums, etc. Dan talks about organizing teams differently to keep productivity high and the quality where it needs to be - scale agile!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/net-rocks/donations

How do you do agile faster? Carl and Richard talk to Dan North about accelerating agile - but Dan has changed the name to Software, Faster. And even that is controversial, as Dan talks about focusing on delivering business needs, which may or may not involve code. The conversation also calls back to the Agile Manifesto and its abuse - it's not code with no documentation, its code over documentation! There's a great digression about the BBC giving away a million tiny computers to children to help create a new generation of makers... it's a fun time to be in computing! And as Dan says, the only code that has no bugs at all is no code at all.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/net-rocks/donations

While at the Better Software show in Orlando during the Road Trip, Carl and Richard talked to Dan North about how development teams can manage uncertainty. Dan talks about how software planning can change to being more discovery based, knowing what is unknown. That process gets people talking and learning from each other and ultimately creates excellent plans.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/net-rocks/donations
Nat Pryce is an early adaptor of eXtreme Programming and a contributor to several open source libraries and tools supporting Test-Driven Development, like jMock. In this episode we discuss several topics from the book 'Growing Object-Oriented Software, Guided by Tests' that he wrote together with Steve Freeman. We talk about the 'Londen-style' of Test-Driven Development, using mock objects to drive your design, listening to your tests and dependency injection. Nat's personal blog 'Mistaeks I Hav Made' is on http://www.natpryce.com/ and you can follow him on twitter via @natpryce. This interview is recorded on June 14th at the Software Practice Advancement conference (spa2011) in London. Interview by @freekl and @arnetim. Audio post-production by @Mendelt. Links for this podcast: The roots of the 'Londen-style' of Test-Driven Development can be traced back to the eXtreme Tuesday Club (XTC). A weekly London (pub) meeting that started more than 10 years ago. On his blog Nat visualizes different kinds of tests that drive the design of a software system. In the podcast we discuss the blogpost 'Whose domain is it anyway?' of Dan North. Nat completed his PhD thesis in 2000: 'Component Interaction in Distributed Systems'. A lot of his thoughts on object-orientation and messaging between objects and peers that is described in the book, can be traced back to his early research. In order to improve the testability of your software, Steve and Nat propose to apply the Ports and adapter architecture from Alistair Cockburn. You can read more on this subject on the wiki of Alistair. Use Hamcrest Matchers to improve the readability of your tests: learn more from this tutorial. While the use of Dependency Injection is widely spread in the software engineering community, Nat considers applying this style harmful. On his blog you can read more of his thoughts on this subject. In 2004 Steven and Nat published the article 'Mock Roles, not Objects' in which they introduces jMock. MultithreadedTC: a framework that can be used to test concurrent Java applications.
Another set of stories from Oredev, this time around development practices. The first interview is with Dan North, where he discusses how development teams can move beyond just being able to ship software into something he calls hyper-productivity. He talks about teams that ship software twenty times a day! Next up, Jean Tabaka talks about how RallyDev uses Agile practices to make the entire company Agile. At RallyDev every person is involved in planning out the vision of the company quarter to quarter, from developer to executive. Finally, Gary Short digs into the challenges of technical debt - the idea that shortcuts in code increase the cost of development in the long term. Sometimes debt make sense, getting more features shipped in less time. But eventually the debt has to be repaid or the project goes bankrupt, unable to ship new features and ultimately cancelled.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/net-rocks/donations
