Highlights
- a group of mediocre programmers working with a structure designed to produce quality will produce better software than a group of fantastic programmers working in a system designed with other goals.
- Note: But a group of fantastic programmers without a specific system imposed on them will probably be better overall
- culture free of pressure to push code to production before it’s well-proven.
- Codebases that are documented, well-factored, and sufficiently commented – which is the result of a development cadence that allows generous time for these activities.
- If your team is producing defective code, consider that it may not be because they all suck at their jobs. It’s probably because the environment isn’t allowing them to produce quality software.
- Instead of spending tons of time and effort on hiring because you believe that you can “only hire the best”, direct some of that effort towards building a system that produces great results out of a wider spectrum of individual performance.
