Web Application Development & Coaching
Don’t tear something down until you understand why it was built. How ADRs, the strangler fig pattern, and characterization tests apply Chesterton’s Fence to safe refactoring in Agile teams.
The simplest explanation is usually the right one. How YAGNI, trunk-based development, and evolutionary architecture apply Occam’s Razor to keep software teams moving fast.
The less you know, the more confident you tend to be. How pair programming, retrospectives, and Continuous Delivery feedback loops counteract the Dunning-Kruger Effect in software teams.
When a measure becomes a target, it stops being a good measure. How DORA metrics, OKRs, and LEAN flow metrics help teams measure what actually matters without corrupting the measurement.
More options mean slower decisions. How convention over configuration, LEAN UX, and opinionated Agile frameworks apply Hick’s Law to build software that moves faster.
People get promoted until they reach a job they’re bad at. How dual career ladders, servant leadership, and Agile team structures prevent the Peter Principle from hollowing out your engineering organization.
Roughly 80 percent of results come from 20 percent of effort. How LEAN value stream mapping, Agile backlog prioritization, and MVP thinking apply the Pareto Principle to software delivery.
Never attribute to malice what is adequately explained by carelessness. How blameless postmortems, code review culture, and Agile retrospectives apply this principle to build better teams.
Everything takes longer than you expect, even when you account for Hofstadter’s Law. This is how Agile planning, story points, and Continuous Delivery feedback loops make estimation manageable.
Work expands to fill the time you give it. Here’s how Agile time-boxing, LEAN WIP limits, and Continuous Delivery small batches directly counter Parkinson’s Law in software teams.
