131: Evolving Software with João Rosa

We design software within a particular context. When that context changes, so should the software. But change is often difficult.


Today we talk with João Rosa, an independent consultant focused on helping organizations to make strategic decisions when building software. João is one of the authors of Software Architecture Metrics, the curator of the book Visual Collaboration Tools, and the host of the Software Crafts Podcast

João tells us how to ensure that our software is evolving with the problems it is designed to solve and how can we evolve along with it.

About

In this show, hosts M. Scott Ford and Ray Myers are out to change the way you think about legacy code.

If you're like a lot of people, when you hear the words "legacy code" it conjures up images of big mainframes and archaic punch card machines. While that's true — it only tells a small part of the story. The code you leave behind is your legacy, so let's make it a good one.
