256 - Dave Farley, Author of Modern Software Engineering

In this episode I talk with Dave Farley about how good software
engineering prioritizes making code easy to change, since we
inevitably need to revise our systems as requirements evolve.
Dave also shares stories from building ultra-fast financial
trading systems, where his team had to repeatedly rethink their
architecture to meet performance demands. We also discuss how key
concepts like abstraction and modularity connect to scientific
thinking, with both requiring a healthy skepticism toward our own
assumptions.
