New Blog Post: Deletability

Friends,

Thank you for signing up to my personal newsletter. This is the first one that I'm getting around to sending. For those that may have forgotten, this is the newsletter of Kelly Sutton. You may have signed up due to interest in the Cult of Less, or because I said something interesting about software development once. Either way, here you are. (No hard feelings if you're no longer interested.)

This week, I've put together a blog post on something related to software engineering. I'm calling it Deletability.

Deletability is a heuristic for how easy it is to delete code. This is a post I've been working on for the last 2 months, based on my own experiences trying to craft software that doesn't suck. I make the argument that the easier it is to delete the code, the better that code is.

Coming up:
  • I'm working on building a nuclear football for deploying code. I will do a writeup once that's done.
  • Currently working through Domain-Driven Design. Will put together a book review when I'm done.
Enjoy!
