When Platform Engineering Devolves Into ANARCHY Modern Software Engineering 2025-04-30 | When your platform capabilities offer autonomy without alignment, your teams can quickly make technology decisions, but without guidance. In the short term, this allows teams to use familiar tech stacks to rapidly build services and deliver them to customers. However, in the long term, it creates a fragmented ecosystem full of inefficiencies, staffing challenges, and a maintenance mountain.Platform Engineering teams need alignment and autonomy in product and technology to succeed at scale. Alignment connects vision, strategy, and execution, while autonomy empowers teams to act independently. Increasing alignment means better decisions, and increasing autonomy means faster decisions.-Steve on X ➡️ https://x.com/SteveSmith_TechSteve on LinkedIn ➡️ linkedin.com/in/stevesmithtechSteve on bluesky ➡️ https://bsky.app/profile/stevesmithtech.bsky.socialModern Software Engineering on X ➡️ https://x.com/ModernSoftwareXModern Software Engineering on LinkedIn ➡️ linkedin.com/company/modern-software-engineeringModern Software Engineering on bluesky ➡️ https://bsky.app/profile/modernswe.bsky.social-⭐ PATREON:Join the Continuous Delivery community and access extra perks & content! ➡️ bit.ly/ContinuousDeliveryPatreon 🎥 Join Us On TikTok ➡️ tiktok.com/@modern.s.engineering-CHANNEL SPONSORS:Tuple is a remote ensemble and pair programming app for macOS and Windows, designed to make you feel like you're collaborating in person.

The Pros & Cons Of Pair Programming (With Examples) Modern Software Engineering 2025-02-05 | Pair programming is one of the most extreme, yet most valuable, practices in Extreme Programming (XP). In this episode Dave Farley breaks down the pros and cons of pair programming, sharing insights from over four decades of experience working in professional software teams. We explore why so many developers resist pair programming at first, only to love it once they’ve tried it. Does pair programming slow you down, or does it actually make teams more productive? What does the data say about remote pair programming? And how does pairing lead to better software, cleaner code, and stronger development teams? Whether you’re a seasoned software engineer or a new developer, this episode is packed with practical insights into how pairing improves code quality, developer collaboration, and team culture.In addition to Dave’s perspective, we show you a real-world pair programming session, demonstrating how two developers work together to refactor bad code, strategize solutions, and improve design. This is a hands-on pair programming tutorial that will give you a clear idea of how pairing actually works in practice, whether you code in Java, Python, C#, or any other language. Plus, we discuss the role of remote pair programming tools like Tuple, and why the best development teams use pairing to drive higher quality software engineering.
