Software Is Bananas

Kent Beck has shared some good insights in his substack. If I have to start with something, this is probably it. This post takes a short and stingy look around real “aglileness” of software development. Short but quick deployments and closer feedback loops instead of long and drawn out processes. Because at the end of the day, there is one bug lingering only in production enviorment which is waiting to be revealed.

Software is bananas. Buy a banana and you’d better eat it. You’re not going to be happy with the experience in a month.

Interesting to see me using the “rotting food” metaphor in another context. I think I’m trying to sensitize people to the cost of delay. Somehow some folks just don’t feel it.
