Global Day of Coderetreat Toronto 2022

Earlier this month, we hosted Global Day of Coderetreat (GDCR) at our Toronto office. After a three-year hiatus, we wanted to re-awaken some of the community enthusiasm when we hosted the event for the first time back in 2019. This year we planned for a larger event which turned out to be a really good thing as we nearly doubled our attendance. And in case you were wodering, this is how we did it.

Art of Controlled Burn in Engineering Management

The idea of a Controlled Burn is simple; create a small fire that you fully control. The assumption is that were you to do nothing, a much larger disaster would occur. In agile, no team likes disruptions; rather, everyone prefers to work like well-oiled machines. This begs the question - can we apply a strategy that looks very similar to firefighters and utilizes controlled disruptions rather than waiting for a full-blown disaster to occur?

Learning Archetypes: An aid for setting intention at a Coderetreat

On the one hand, labels can hold us back. They come with expectations on what we can and can’t do, or what we know and don’t know. Those expectations can be self-inflicted or put on us by others. This is especially true of job titles. This is why at a Coderetreat, we say that we leave our job titles at the door. For similar reasons, we delete our code at the end of a Coderetreat pairing session. Pre-existing notions, assumptions, or expectations oftentimes hold us back from learning — consequently, we discard them when possible.

Don’t be a Monday Morning Quarterback when working with Legacy Projects

A Monday Morning Quarterback is someone who passes judgment and criticizes after the fact. And if you work in software development, you likely didn't have to wait for the return of NFL season to be exposed to one. While hindsight might be 20/20, as Vitaliy shares, it doesn't account for the unique circumstance of the moment. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't - whether you are watching the highlights from last night's game or reviewing the documentation from a legacy project.
