Unit Tests: the Small Cost that Protects the Big Cost IBM’s System Sciences Institute described increases of up to 15× at the test stage and up to 100× after release. Barry Boehm and Victor Basili, in their work on defect reduction, came to the same idea: the earlier you catch it, the cheaper it is. More recent reports on the “cost of poor software quality” show that a big part of the loss is exactly about late defects... Read more on LinkedIn

From Embryo to Engineer — Mindset Shifts to Survive the Career Race Imagine this: millions of tiny embryos racing with everything they’ve got toward one goal — to be the first to reach the egg. It’s a biological battle royale, where the odds are brutal and the reward is life itself. Now, zoom out to the world of tech. Every day, thousands of people open their laptops with the same hunger. The starting line is crowded. You might feel like one of a million — because you are. But here’s the twist: in this race, being the fastest doesn’t guarantee you anything. You don’t win by being first. You win by staying in the race long enough to grow. https://medium.com/andersen-it-community/from-embryo-to-engineer-part-1-mindset-shifts-to-survive-the-career-race-bc4a8f9d3b42
