  • Moldable Development: Guiding Technical Decisions without Reading Code

    Developers spend most of their time reading code. Moldable Development challenges reading as a means to gather information from the system, by creating custom tools that show the problem in a way that makes it comfortable to understand. The solution typically follows quickly afterward. Glamorous Toolkit is a moldable development environment designed to decrease the cost of custom tools.

  • Chaos Engineering and Observability with Visual Metaphors

    This article introduces a new actor for visualising chaos engineering and observability: metaphors. It provides the conceptual foundations of chaos engineering and observability, presents a state of art of visualisation techniques available in the market and shows how treemaps, gauge charts, geocentric and city metaphors can enrich the spectrum of the visual strategies to observe the chaos.

  • Training from the Back of the Room and Systems Thinking in Kanban Workshops: Q&A with Justyna Pindel
