Building a solution from the start to be able to switch database can be a very smart move. In some cases it could be argued that too much software is built for re-usability and with layers of abstraction that are never actually used for anything. But in some cases it makes a lot of sense … Continue reading Building .Net Core API for easy database switch

Harmful management
Harmful management is not a very widely used term. I even considered coining the term "Iatrogenic management" but left it - at least for now - even though iatrogenic is a perfect term to describe the problem at hand. Iatrogenic is a term taken from health care and medicine. It refers to the adverse condition … Continue reading Harmful management
Ensuring code quality for API’s with Request Manager API Pattern
What problem does Request Manager API Pattern solve? Coding guidelines and code reviews are good ways to ensure code quality and enforce structure. But they also have their limitations.

And as I cannot really decide where to share the pictures that I take, as I have developed an … Continue reading Photography October 2019
Common goal and incentive structures in large companies
In small companies, keeping a common goal is simple. There is probably only one product and hence product goal equals company goal. Messing up incentives is hard (but of course not impossible) as people should be rewarded for making that single product more successful. For increasing sales, improving the product or making it more stable. … Continue reading Common goal and incentive structures in large companies
Reinventing Dell – book notes
Reinventing Dell is short. I read it on a business trip to Belfast from Copenhagen sitting in a crammed airplane with my Kindle. The planes was delayed, but even without that annoyance, I would have finished it in 2-4 hours. Short is good as the points are pretty clearly communicated. Throughout the book the story … Continue reading Reinventing Dell – book notes

Building software to solve a “business problem” can be daunting enough and leave all sorts of cracks in the relationship between IT and Business. But if those … Continue reading Software Events vs. Real Life Events
