A New Model for Software Development
no recording on file
summary
Describes a proposed model to keep senior developers coding while advancing careers, by using structured long-term mentoring and treating development teams as ongoing assets rather than disposable costs. Names the problem as large numbers of inexperienced hires plus a promotion pattern that moves experienced engineers into hands-off management, creating a skills shortage. Suggests an alternative organisational and business approach called the software development “practice” to give developers more control and enable this model.
