Kind of. Conway's Law is that the software follows the communication pattern of the organization, which is usually radically different than the org chart.
I have been speaking to this for years, and always surprised at how many people know the symptoms, but don't realize it's a real phenomenon in the industry.
#Recommendation: A really great way to not ship the Org Chart and to "Shift Left" in the context of Cloud Migration, is investigate Azure Landing Zones (ALZ) - see the Ready Stage of the Cloud Adoption Framework - I've learnt so much about this recently! Really like this format folks!
Another great episode!! A book I recommend is The Phoenix Project, which has a great introductory foundation for understanding how to effectively ship projects; it's very insightful about the intersection between business and tech in a storytelling format.
Awesome nice one! To be fair, Scott, I would have been put off by the fonts as well! I had come across Ship the org chart in the past, but it's not something I have heard in a while, it's a great reminder of that phrase, though! From a people and process perspective, I think it is having that DACI (Driver, Approver, Contributors, Informed) model well defined - and then the product framework 'shifting left' - let the tooling do the work! I would love a conversion around - when is it good enough?! Perfection is the enemy of good, if you aim for perfection - nothing ever gets shipped, as your constantly moving that invisible goalpost! How do you decide the 'lets just get it shipped and YOLO' vs 'no we need to work a bit more on that'!
I like this format. You guys are always interesting to listen to and whilst I could spend hours doing that, I prefer these short, single-subject focused episodes. There's plenty of other ramble-banter podcasts out there so please try hard not to evolve into another!
Incredibly interesting episode! Thank guys 🙏 😊 I learned a name/expression I can put on the same phenomenon I have noticed. It goes beyond a single organization sometimes. When it comes to the web, I truly empathize with developers when the same website behaves differently depending on the application you use to access it. We may need another term to describe that global kind of interoperability 😊
Scott, amazing presentation. thank you for sharing knowledge. what license is this video under? can I use it for kaggle competition that has been announced today by gemini team exploring long context abilities of their gemini 1.5 model?
Another great episode. Love the balance you guys have with this. Tech tangents and gold. Now, this might sound weird, and feel free to ignore it, but in this video (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Z1yYcUFzH2A.html), I noticed a pinkish mark on Scott's right wrist, on the pinky side. I think I have something similar on both of my wrists. From time to time, people notice mine and ask me about it. Is this something a lot of coders get from keyboard rests and such? Mine aren't usually pink or red, but they're visible and look like a large, puffy callus.
I think laptops were hit extra hard by the CPU family cutoff since they tend to use older CPU generations. I have a Dell Precision with a 4k UHD touch screen and 32GB memory. It was bought in 2012 or so. But the CPU (i7 920 IIRC) is too old for Win11. It is still a decently specced PC, so sustainability-wise it feels wrong to just dispose of it. (I'll install Linux eventually, no worries)
If you were in a car from a legacy manufacturer they weren't android tablets! For example the instrument cluster runs a real time OS and the UI is developed specifically. The only place you can find android is in the multimedia unit but even there is specifical hardware running an hypervisor with a real time OS taking care of talking to the other auto parts and a separate android instance. They're not android tablets. And that's the main reason the aesthetics are not consistent. Of course a car is an integration of multiple systems, and many are sourced from specialized manufacturers. Auto companies don't manufacture 100% of the vehicle.
@shanselman would be interesting, if it fits, getting some insights and ideas on "how to do's" from Mark about the SysInternals times back in the day, yep im from these times 😀
