Does it perform? * I think it works * It might handle more than one user * I haven't heard from anyone * What are logs? * An error happened, what now? * I can't reproduce it * Time to update my resume * Metrics, metrics, metrics * How many users can it handle? * Where are the bottlenecks? * Where do errors happen? * What does the data tell us? * Is the data meaningful? * What needs our attention? * Make informed decisions * Consle.WriteLine * ILogger * Health Check Middleware * App Metrics * Application Insights   Resources https://serilog.net/ https://www.app-metrics.io/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/logging/?view=aspnetcore-2.2 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/host-and-deploy/health-checks?view=aspnetcore-2.2 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.extensions.logging.ilogger?view=aspnetcore-2.2 "Tempting Time" by Animals As Leaders used with permissions - All Rights Reserved   × Subscribe now!

  In this episode we talk about language bias. We've probably all gotten into an argument about how our chosen technology is better than a coworkers chosen technology. But are any of them actually better? We think it is a more complicated question than it seems. https://twitter.com/ddoomen/status/1118571062399311872 Every language has a reason for existing, a purpse, etc. No need to bash a language you're not using.   "Tempting Time" by Animals As Leaders used with permissions - All Rights Reserved   × Subscribe now!

  This week we talk about Software Quality vs Grade. Definition of Quality PMBOK V.5 - “Quality is the degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfills requirements” PMBOK: Project Management Body of Knowlege ISO 9000:2015 - “Quality is the totality of features and characteristics of a product or service that bear on its ablility to satisfy stated or implied needs.” ISO: International Standards Organization (International Organization for Standardization) Put Simply - Quality is the fulfillment of the requirements. Definition of Grade PMBOK V.5 - “Grade is a category or rank used to distinguish items that have the same functional use but do not share the same requirements for quality.” Put Simply - Grade ranks items by the strictests set of requirements they fulfill How does this Apply to Software?Softare Quality (in terms of meeting requirements) is a pass failCompare to Chemical Engineering Produced Various Grade’s of Polymers Any product could be in-spec (within specifications) or out-of-spec(outside specifications) of a given set of requrements Across Chemical companies, the process for creating production vary significally regardless if they are producing the same grade of product (the end user is generally uneffected) The processes themselves are measure and can be certified to meet certain specifications. Stop Conflating the Source Code with the Product Software specifcations are (should) be written from the funtionality value that is provided to the user. Software should be evaluated according to the fullfillment of those requirements. We cannot ignore the process of creating, maintaining and changing software Two sets of Requirements Software Product Requirements Software Process Requirements Gold Plating Gold plating is simply meeting additional software product requirements that are not in scope We need to stop gold plating, if the changes are needed there needs to be a change of scope Gold plating is not following architentual and devleopment choices to ensure proper software process requirements are met Where does logging fit in? Technical Debt Should be only 2 kinds of Techincal Debt but… Intentional Choose to leave a software process requirement unfullfilled, in order to fulfill a product requirement more quickly, cheaply, etc Discovered Fulfillment and specification of software process requirements, create additional burden in order to fulfill a softare product requirement (Unfortunate Third) Unintentional Poor fullilment of software process requirements either because of lack of understanding, specification, or negligence
