Minimum Viable Development Get stuff done, ship on time, and
stop fussing with analysis paralysis @donnfelker
Donn Felker » Fragmented Podcast w/ Kaushik Gopal » Teaching
#AndroidDev Caster.IO » #AndroidDev Digest (androiddevdigest.com) » AndroidJobs.IO » 4x Android Author » Consultant / Intl. Speaker
How this talk is organized 1. Soft Skills 2. Tactics
Paradigm Shift The majority of getting things done is mental
Minimum Viable Development
Using the minimum amount of effort & time to accomplish
a development task to move the business forward.
Isn't that what we all do anyway?
Perfectionism and maybe a little bit of FOMO
Perfectionism Example The Insurance company
Analysis Paralysis
#AndroidDev Examples
Should I use Fragments or custom views or something like
Flow and Mortar?
Should I re-write my entire app to use RX?
Should I use this new MVP FRAMEWORK?
how do you keep analysis paralysis at arms length?
Before you make any new dev decision, ask yourself this
-
Is this going to enable me to ship faster?
Does this enable the code to be maintainable?
But ... is shipping faster really the only goal?
An early stage startup with a short runway needs to
prove a market faster than an established Fortune 500 company.
The type of business determines how you should develop
Think like a business owner
Everything is an Experiment
Ok, Stop. Story Time
Everything is an Experiment
Let go of the emotional attachment to code. The code
is not your identity
"But, my Code is art, man..."
Your code is art. But its art that's sold to
someone else. Once it's done, let got of it.
Tactics to Ship On Time
Timeboxing
Example: A new, difficult, uncharted task - Give it 30
minutes to see how far you can get. Or 1 hour. Maybe 2. Then re-evaluate.
Location Oriented Development
Meetings are no longer than 15 minutes
Place all meetings at end or beginning of work day.
Makers Schedule, Managers Schedule - Paul Graham
Get Creative Think outside of the box
An Example
None
None
Use what works. Use what you know.
Android Libs that Help me move faster
Dagger Butterknife RxJava Retrofit Timber Realm
So, Should you use Retrolambda, RxJava, MVP and Flow and
Mortar?
It Depends. Just ask yourself ...
Does it enable me to ship faster with maintainable code?
Thank You
