welcome
Thank you for joining the MEAP for The Feedback-Driven Developer. This is a book about delivering code quickly, but it’s not about coding fast. It’s about maximising the value in what we are delivering, culling the wasted time, and ensuring what we do deliver is working and reliable. If you take on board the principles in this book and make them habitual, even if you are new to this industry, you will be able to deliver more value more quickly than many senior developers.
I believe that a system for continuous feedback is at the core of an effective development process. That’s because we use feedback to understand everything about what we are doing. Is it valuable? We need feedback. Does it still serve its purpose? More feedback. Does the code work? Again feedback. Am I going about it in the right way? Is it worth automating this thing? Feedback, feedback and more feedback. Feedback is at the core of understanding the why and how of what we are building and allows us to make constant course corrections to hone in on valuable software.
