What to Expect?
“Curiosity is antifragile, like an addiction, and is magnified by attempts to satisfy it.”
— Nassim N. Taleb
Our primary content covers software development, business management, and whatever other topics software engineers need to succeed. Occasionally, we supplement the primary content with ideas on mathematics, science, engineering, and book recommendations.
Our content is ad-free. If you found our articles valuable to your journey, consider subscribing to our newsletter.
Three patterns you can identify in our content
Method of First Principles
In times of doubt, falling back on first principles is the wisest course of action. Two reasons urge us to dig out the origins of a complex topic in software development:
Skin in the Game
Most articles discuss topics the author is intimately familiar with or had the chance to observe in real-world scenarios. Two reasons impose this constraint.
Theory-Informed Practice
Theory without field expertise rarely stands outside academia. On the other hand, practice without theory is no more than hunches and intuition, whose effectiveness will drastically decline as soon as the context changes.
Four ingredients for a successful career in software
Business Management Made Easy
A significant portion of Software Dominos’ articles focuses on business and management theory.
As Wallace B. Donham, the founder of the Harvard Business Review, once said, business without a solid theoretical foundation is “unsystematic, haphazard, and for many men a pathetic gamble”.
Our content explores various aspects of organizational theory, culture, transformation, performance, and leadership. We draw insights from philosophy, anthropology, and complexity science to provide a comprehensive and well-rounded approach to business and management.
Our goal is to equip our readers with the knowledge and understanding necessary to navigate the challenges of the modern business landscape.
Operational Excellence in Software Development
Software Design, Development, and Delivery
Processes, Productivity and Success
Researching Operational Excellence in Software Development was a challenging but fruitful endeavour, it aims to provide developers with a complete framework that allows them to refine their deliveries and enhance their value proposition.
If we had to summarize the software development practice crudely, we could sum up all activities as either design, development, or delivery. These three areas form the epicentre of all intellectual activities in our content.
By adopting the principles and techniques discussed in our content, software developers can optimize their processes, increase efficiency, and ultimately achieve greater project success.
Math, Science, and Engineering
We recognize the importance of staying updated on the latest technological advancements in applied mathematics, science, and engineering.
To this end, our content explores cutting-edge technologies such as quantum computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and complexity theory. These emerging fields are slowly but surely reshaping the world as we know it, and we believe individuals in the software industry must stay informed (at least!) about these changes.
Through our insightful articles and discussions, we aim to shed light on the potential impact of these technological advancements and provide valuable perspectives to our readers.
Reading and Book Recommendations
Lastly, we understand the value of knowledge and continuous learning in personal and professional growth. That’s why Software Dominos also offers a curated selection of book reviews in a few different categories: business management, science, and cultural Studies.
These reviews highlight influential books that have greatly contributed to our intellectual and professional development. By exploring these recommended readings, readers can gain valuable insights, broaden their horizons, and stay ahead in their respective fields.
