Laying bricks scales somewhat linearly. If one guy takes 4 weeks to build a house then you can add three more for a total of four people and expect the work to be done in 1 week. This works across a lot of different tasks and areas, but of course not infinitely. If we keep … Continue reading Linearly scalable work

Photography October 2020
October was quite a "productive" month in terms of photography. Productive is of course the wrong word to use as photography is more about the process and creative aspect than productivity. But at the end of the month October did yield quite a lot of good images. As I recently bought an old motorcycle and … Continue reading Photography October 2020
Photography April 2020
This past month has been a lot more productive in terms of photography than probably the last half or full year. "Productive" is actually a very "bad" word for it. I do not take photos to be productive or with some other higher goal. I do so because I enjoy the process. It forces me … Continue reading Photography April 2020
Dedicated or Shared Scrum Master
When implementing the agile way of working, companies are left with a decision on whether to have dedicated scrum master or let the role be handled by one of the existing resources in the team.

Building .Net Core API for easy database switch
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 to make sure that you build your solution in a way that would afford you a good number of options going forward.
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.
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. When time is in short demand and the lead developer/architect have no chance of keeping up with the new code being developed, the architecture, structure and … Continue reading Ensuring code quality for API’s with Request Manager API Pattern
