In my experience, ownership of services is usually defined to ensure that in the engineering organization it's clear who will react as the first responder when there are security patches, production incidents to deal with and also when

Some cases like that will definitely slip through. There is a balance between the governments doing strict checks and building a bureaucratic process and providing quick cash injection into the whole economy. It's one of the learnings

Thanks for the feature branch book recommendation. Overall, feature branches work well as an approach for relatively modern systems. I once worked on a distributed, multi-process system from the 90s that powered more than 40 factories acros

A problem with such products offered by GitHub is the fact that they're connected to a single repo. This is maybe suitable for monorepo situations or simple open-source libraries. However, teams work differently and need to manage back

I agree on the ownership and proactivity being key here. Look for possibilities to show and practice leadership skills within the current company setup and role. This can be as simple as taking one story end-to-end to production from requir

I agree languages are the culprit. Too often we just develop in a new language for fun or just to fill a CV with new buzzwords. Sometimes it leads to innovation. In most cases it's pure bloat. Recently overheard a conversation going th

Agreed, it's definitely the way to go. Hope the project will continue to evolve. Both Aragon [0] and Storj [1] are making active use of them, if you look for example usage. [0] https://github.com/aragon/aragon-netw
