You scaled really fast and now it feels like everything is broken. How do you differentiate between symptoms and root causes? Objective pattern matching can help. If you're holding regular retros and documenting issues, what are the blockers that come up over and over?

Tired of endless testing debates?

Here's a pragmatic frontend testing approach from Rob Komaromi that actually works:
🔧 Vitest + Testing Library for components
🚀 Cypress for business-critical flows
📁 Co-located tests for maintainability
🔍 Manual QA for edge case discovery

Focus on user value, not testing taxonomy.

🚨Too many cooks in the codebase! Adding more developers to solve velocity problems? You might be scaling your bottlenecks, not your productivity. Here's what actually slows teams down (and what to fix first). https://link.testdouble.com/859d61

Scaling engineering without scaling problems. It's common to equate scaling the product with churning out features.

Instead take time to understand the human element behind blockers. Iterative improvements compound instead of problems for better technical and business outcomes. https://link.testdouble.com/1c83b5

@CodingItWrong Manifestos by Josh are okay! @chickenwing

Get up to speed freaky fast. Solve hard problems. Pragmatic approaches to real work. Leave teams better than we found them.

Seem more worthwhile than the plethora of butts in seats or slide shows extremes? We should talk.

As an industry, there's a pervasive assumption that expert developers don't mistakes. Gabriel Côté-Carrier has an uncomfortable truth to share with you: Developers are only human and they will make mistakes. Ignoring that possibility means that any mistake made is a frowned-upon high-intensity event.

There's a better way.

We can invest in systems to manage the inevitable mistakes without having to do it all.

Let's update your software systems bit by bit—no need to throw everything out and start from scratch.

Give us a holler if you want to talk more about what that means for you, your team, and your codebase.

Your experienced developers are probably using AI coding tools wrong. They're giving broad problems instead of specific instructions. The fix? Treat AI like a precise tool, not a creative partner. One dev went from frustrated to '80% success rate' with this shift. https://link.testdouble.com/06b21d
