Chad Fowler - How Small Can We Make This Problem

Robby has a candid chat with Chad Fowler, the General Partner & CTO at BlueYard Capital, about the importance of building software in small, manageable pieces to facilitate easy updates or replacements, the counterintuitive perspective on unit testing’s impact on maintainability, strategies for keeping software up-to-date by redeploying to new platforms, and so much more.

Code comments have always been worse than useless on average. It’s amazing how little innovation has gone into fixing this. Maybe LLMs and mainstreaming of languages with decent type systems will soon make them obsolete.

"Once you have one of these products that is messy inside, your processes adapt around it. Your product’s broken windows lead to broken windows in your process. It’s a vicious cycle."(@chadfowler in "The Passionate Programmer")

My bias is that all code should be open source. Anyone have arguments against this that still apply in 2023?
