Sledgeworx has completed our first Getting into Software interview with Craig Freeman. We discuss how Craig got into software, his career and the pros and cons of being a software engineer.
I have been reading ‘Software Estimation’ by Steve McConnell which is about estimating software projects. I got interested in the subject a few months ago, because my interns were asking questions about how to estimate stories in Agile ceremonies. The company I work at does not have any estimating theory. Its a shoot from the hip, ‘wild ass guess’ environment. I didn’t really have a good answer for the interns.
A couple surprises are that research has shown software engineers typically underestimate tasks to the tune of about 30% of the actual time and that the range of estimation accuracy is around 1.2-16x.
Sledgeworx is happy to announce the release of the Code Review Handbook. The Code Review Handbook contains everything I know about Pull request reviews and reviewing code.
