Continuous Delivery Pipelines: How to Build Better Software Faster • Dave Farley • GOTO 2021

[@xD-saleem]

Big fan of this guy.

[@coderider3022]

Big fan of Dave and his channel should be on any good engineers go to channel.

My two favorite things. Nice!

[@miletacekovic]

Dave manages to bust another software development myth: "You cannot get both speed and quality!".

[@BryonLape]

Is there a rule in the Universe that states all Tech Conference videos must have horrible audio?

[@samwinstanley6820]

Yup, I agree, I gave up watching the content because the audio is unbearably bad.

[@pepineros4681]

Yes, this is a rule. Software people have an ingrained disdain of hardware and signal processing ;)

[@Holistic_Islam]

Are there any counterarguments against Dave Farley's ideas presented in this video? Or any limitations to his solutions?

[@krccmsitp2884]

Have a look at some more detailed videos where he also justifies his idea. kzbin.info

[@softwareminimalist]

Nope. The limit is physics.

[@boandersen3871]

How does this work with the manual test environment. Is there a dedicated tester (person) waiting for something to test?

[@cianmoriarty7345]

I wanted to like this video, but it was sitting at 486 upvotes 😬 Now it's a math coprocessor 😮

[@BryonLape]

I've worked several places that wanted to do this, but have never seen it work.

[@miletacekovic]

There is only one answer to your problem: Try harder!

[@FlaviusAspra]

Same here. That's why I became a CTO and made it happen, so that I and my team sees this in practice.

[@AModernCTO]

Could someone help me to understand what you meaning with "build installers" on 21 minute?

[@krccmsitp2884]

As I understand it that is any piece of software that installs what the build stage has produced as output. This could be, e.g., a simple installation script or a typical setup/installer program.

[@webdeveloperninja9220]

Solid

[@garciajero]

save the war stories for later ...

[@olegneumyvakin3595]

I've described a little better version of this approach here kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoOQnausarp4hMk (In Russian). I think Dave's speech is more for big teams, companies and services. If your team or service is small and you have enough autonomy than you can apply even more efficient approach without separate stage for manual testing. But the main Dave's idea is absolutely correct there is no trade off between quality and speed.

[@olegneumyvakin3595]

In my talk I'm highlighting the problem of splitting the task and the quality of the task. If you are looking on Dave's CD stages and asking the question "What is the slowest stage in this CD cycle?" than you figuring out that Acceptance and Manual Testing are slowest stages, because of iterations between developers and PM/QA on Acceptance and Manual Testing. And this problem we will still have after we've applied all technical and automatic stuff in our CI/CD pipelines. And this problem can be solved.

Good luck reaching a maintainable codebase without proper code reviews on PR-s if you have 1+ developer on a project.
