I thought that the Early Days of Agile Development GoTo podcast with James Lewis and Martin Fowler might be interesting. Indeed it was. One of the things that I really thought interesting was the breakdown of “Cubicle Land”.
Recently, I have been put into an office without much contact with other colleagues, apart from the ubiquitous Teams and Zoom. In an earlier iteration of this role, I sat with the other colleagues which led, in my mind, to a better and more encompassing conversation about a project. Research Software Engineering (RSE) became more than just producing code, but was part of the process. No doubt there is tacit knowledge in both code and conversation but, I found, the work was much better.
