DESCRIPTION
Holly Cummins and Jez Humble explore the delicate balance of communication in the tech industry. They dissect two contrasting trends – the need for increased communication and the burden of communication overhead. Jez highlights the importance of effectively managing limited communication bandwidth, emphasizing the need to focus on the right things and automate processes when possible. They delve into the significance of good platforms and touch on the persistence of the perennial issue of code formatting standards.
Despite the challenges, they remain optimistic about the potential for positive change and acknowledge the progress made through continuous integration.
