"How do I become a software architect with a six-figure salary?" is the question I'm being asked very often. I can't say I know the answer but here is the strategy I would recommend to pursue: make sure your profile differs from all others somehow. The video is here: https://youtu.be/mJb-H-8npFk

M185: CTO has to write code and delegate management to PMs Dec 20, 2021

Show notes

Chief Technical Officer (CTO) is usually the highest technical position, where usually is a person who doesn't really remember how to write software code. A better setup would be with a CTO who codes every day and delegates management to Project Managers. Video is here: https://youtu.be/b_w85hL2o04

M184: Keep your best programmers from maintenance mode Dec 13, 2021

Show notes

Developing a software product and maintaining it are two different activities, even though both are very important. Developers and maintainers are people of different types and if you want to keep your best developers in the project, don't allow them to become maintainers.

M183: Start making a software product from configuring its build pipeline Nov 29, 2021

Show notes

Some of us think that the functionality of a product comes first, while the build pipeline (testing, coverage control, static analysis, style checking, deployment) goes next. Moreover, some of us believe that functionality is the foundation of a house, while the build is more like a decoration. I strongly disagree. Video is here: https://youtu.be/TcD6jJKaLcg

M182: Open source products are made by young and hungry Nov 22, 2021

Show notes

When you are young and hungry for attention, you make open source products. They give you appreciation and recognition faster than anything else. When you grow up and become known for the products you created earlier, you lose interest in open source and give space to next-generation attention seekers. Thus, let's appreciate their work to keep new products coming. The video is here: https://youtu.be/eyx69afklkY

M181: How do you manage under-performers? You ignore them. Nov 15, 2021

Show notes

What do you do with those who don't deliver almost anything except promises? Do you try to motivate them, discipline, organize, find better tasks for them? I suggest a better strategy: just ignore them. This is how you will save your time and energy for those who deserve your attention. This is how you help your team achieve better results.

M180: Pre-commit Hook is a wrong idea Oct 25, 2021

Show notes

Many programmers love to use pre-commit hooks to run the build and test the code before it gets to the repository. I believe it's a bad idea for two reasons.
