Your support this week is inspiring. Thank you all.

Thank you all for the overwhelming support for our big news this week. Your response today has been more than we had expected. We've been working hard to pull this together, and it's amazing to see so many positive comments. Welcome to our new presenters. Now the work begins 😎

Last but not least on our roster announcement... a chap that needs no introduction. Kent (@kentbeck.com).

I am super excited about the rebrand of the Continuous Delivery Channel, and particularly about the AMAZING new presenters who are joining me and @davefarley77.bsky.social!

If you've been a fan of the Continuous Delivery channel, you'll already know our next excellent presenter. Trisha (@trishagee.bsky.social).

Next up on our roster. With 20+ years of industry experience, leading digital transformation programmes. Steve (@stevesmithtech.bsky.social).

Introducing another of our excellent presenters... who you may already be familiar with if you're a software engineering YouTube fan. Emily (@emilybache.com).

You may know him for being an expert, writer, trainer... but perhaps you know him for public software failures being named after him. Kevlin (@kevlin.bsky.social).

Let's meet our speakers... starting with the one that's most familiar. Dave (@davefarley77.bsky.social)

This is huge for me! I'm so excited to be joining @davefarley77.bsky.social, @trishagee.bsky.social, @kevlin.bsky.social @stevesmithtech.bsky.social and @kentbeck.com on the Modern Software Engineering YouTube channel. Woohoo! I think we are all going to learn so much. youtube.com/shorts/eVQkE...

The end of the Continuous Delivery channel... and in its place... something NEW. youtu.be/ZakqUgMfF8I

I'm making a rather big announcement tomorrow night... it isn't something to miss if you've been a fan of the Continuous Delivery YouTube channel.

Want to know my top @intellijidea.com tips for saving your bacon when things go wrong? Tune in tomorrow

I went on @tuple.app's Distributed podcast, we talked about remote work, AI, the future of software engineering & more... it's available on YouTube here ➡️ youtu.be/-wcVrWHUBvA?...

Tomorrow night @trishagee.bsky.social is going over 5 key features in Intellij IDEA that could save you, and your software from harmful mistakes... Tune in tomorrow on the CD channel at 7pm (UK).

Common pitfalls in software development, you should really avoid. Here are my 5 key things to think about: • Think Defensively (anticipate problems) • Code Ownership (>shared ownership) • Process Ownership • Focus on Outcomes (not tools) • Embrace Change

Absolutely brilliant stuff! @davefarley77.bsky.social summarizes the challenges so well and succinctly AND gives great advice in the process. Thanks a lot!

The codebase is like the soil in which healthy products grow: it needs to be kept healthy. This is why tools like CodeScene are vital for business success with modern software - they help product people assess product decisions based on codebase health.

Last night I wanted to build a small but useful feature on top of an existing codebase. I knew what I wanted, roughly where to change things. A) Use an AI agent and spend an hour promoting and it will still get it wrong B) Just code it in 5-10 minutes and get it right first

My practical guide for user stories & requirements to build better software faster is available NOW. Watch HERE ➡️ youtu.be/MECG5MPy_cc

Continuous integration minimizes the risk of integration conflicts by working in small steps and integrating frequently, unlike feature branching. This promotes team collaboration and faster, higher-quality software development. This is why CI > Feature Branching.

What are the top software engineering innovations of the last 20 years? @davefarley77.bsky.social dives into the top 5 technologies shaping development in 2024 and how they’ve transformed the way we work.

Nice video on the real problems of agile development by Dan McGuiness youtu.be/cL5O-D-3ISA

I'm about to do a video on "IntelliJ IDEA features that save your bacon". Which features have saved you from disaster?

“There should be 2 tasks for a human to perform to deploy software into any environment: to pick the version and the environment, and press the ‘deploy’ button.” Continuous Delivery (2010), @davefarley77.bsky.social & @jezhumble.net.

Why do so many developers resist pair programming at first, only to love it once they’ve tried it? Does pair programming slow you down, or does it actually make teams more productive? What are the pros and cons of pair programming? (📽️ link to the video in my bio)

Panel: Where Is SW Development Going? A thoughtful conversation about where SD is headed and how software development could best benefit from LLMs and other AI advances. @davefarley77.bsky.social @martinfowler.com @trishagee.bsky.social @tastapod.com @hollycummins.com youtu.be/86-Dy5U2p5Y?...

What is something relatively new (technology, language, approach) you've come across that you think is actually really, really good?

10 warning signs that your software project might be headed off track... and some tips to fix them. AVAILABLE NOW (📽️ Link in my bio)

Where Is Software Development Going? Featuring legends @martinfowler.com , @hollycummins.com , @trishagee.bsky.social , @tastapod.com, and @davefarley77.bsky.social , this panel talked about the future of AI and Agile& more.

What skills can you think of that people THINK you need as a developer, that actually turn out to be non-important or even useless?

The tech industry changes fast, and it can be really difficult for developers to keep up with those changes. AI, in particular, is on everybody's mind right now. @trishagee.bsky.social offers her survival guide for staying relevant in tech ➡️ youtu.be/hxqNVbYqGXo

Tonight, @trishagee.bsky.social offers her 2025 SURVIVAL GUIDE for Staying Relevant in Tech. Join her at 7pm (UK) TONIGHT.

What would be your advice on how to stay relevant in the technology industry in 2025? 🤔 @trishagee.bsky.social is sharing her thoughts on the channel tomorrow...
