One thing I think is forgotten or neglected, particularly when you are a startup, is to learn your tools. If there are too many, cut down on them or isolate it’s code impact. Having too many tools/frameworks around increases the level of cognitive load and how to use them thoroughly. I’ve seen too many times where there are several different tools solving the same general problem interfere with each other because the coders don’t know that one would be enough.
- raghava 7y agoYup. This is certainly one problem that we are dealing with. JIRA - so that non-tech folks can be on-board. Documentation is virtually non-existent - even though there's wiki on git. git for DVCS, but done in a haphazard way. Bug tracking on JIRA, as tasks. Operations/customer success/top management still depending on excel sheets for reports. End result: cognitive load on apt way of tools usage is very high, and also puts a high barrier of entry and adoption in the right way.
