Adam Tornhill – Founder and CTO at CodeScene and author of several books including “Your Code as a Crime Scene” @codescene-softwareengineer6553 @adamtornhill2546
ABSTRACT
Many codebases contain code that is overly complicated and difficult to understand, and therefore expensive to change and evolve. Prioritizing technical debt is a difficult problem because modern systems can have millions of lines of code and multiple development teams – no one has the big picture. Moreover, there is always a trade-off between improving existing code and adding new features, so we need to use our time wisely.
What if we could harness the collective intelligence of all contributing programmers and make decisions based on information about how the organization actually works with the code?
In this presentation, you'll learn how to use readily available version control data to uncover the behavior and patterns of the development organization. This language-neutral approach lets you prioritize the parts of your system that will most benefit from improvements, allowing you to use data to balance short-term and long-term goals. The specific examples are drawn from real-world codebases like Android, the Linux kernel, .Net Core Runtime, and more.
This new perspective on software development will change the way you look at code.
In this lecture you will learn:
• To prioritize technical debt in large systems
• To balance the trade-off between improving existing code and adding new features
• To measure long-term trends in technical debt […]
