Welcome! This is my first post, so let me introduce myself. I manage a group of developers for a large website, where I initially started as a junior developer 10 years ago. I have decided it is time I share some of my thoughts, experiences and practices that I have gathered over these years. I know it is cliche, but I have a truly pragmatic approach to life, which flows into my general philosophy of work and software development. Not everything comes down to specs, documentation, and methodologies. In fact, the end result is what matters, hence being ‘effective’. In the end, effective development accomplishes goals, and gets projects out the door.
