019 How To Stop Overengineering Without Sacrificing Quality In Your Products with Ryan Gedwill Apr 14, 2020

Show notes

Today, Ryan Gedwill and I are discussing what happens when we over engineer our features and products rather than rely on what others have already built. Ryan shows us how to do the right type of research to ensure that your team is in-the-know about what possible code already exists for you to build upon, rather than completely reinvent the wheel. We want to save you time, money, and sanity in today’s episode, so if you’re someone who’s caught yourself or a team-member over engineering something and regretting it, this episode is definitely for you.
