codurancetalks
Our software craftspeople discuss all things related to technology, agile, software development, and much more.
In this webinar, we ask:
How do you harness the 10x speed of AI without sacrificing the engineering excellence your business depends on?
In this session, Codurance’s Sam Griffiths (Principal Platform Engineer), Lee Sanderson (Principal Software Craftsperson), Christina Ripley-Gonzalez (Senior Software Craftsperson) and Dominic Wild (Senior Software Craftperson) for an exclusive deep dive into the mechanics of AI-powered engineering.
We move beyond theoretical benefits to showcase a recent internal experiment: the complete rebuild of our corporate time sheet system. By moving from a projected 60-day development cycle to a production-grade reality in just three days, we have demonstrated that an order-of-magnitude acceleration is not just possible, it is repeatable.
Description: In this executive-level webinar, Codurance, in partnership with VirtualNonExecs.com, explored how AI can create measurable enterprise value across the private equity lifecycle.
The discussion covered AI’s impact on due diligence, risk assessment and investment decision-making, as well as how investors and portfolio leaders can unlock value in the first 100 days and prepare for exit readiness.
The session also shared practical steps for turning AI potential into measurable value, with insights from Rob Gray, Commercial Director at Codurance; Steve Lydford, UK Managing Director at Codurance; and Gary Pearson, Technology CEO at Newthistle Consulting.
In this session, Ed Farrow, Principal Software Consultant at Codurance; Sam Griffiths, Principal Platform Engineer at Codurance; and Fane Fonseka, Senior Software Craftsperson at Codurance, explore how AI, DevSecOps, and CI/CD drive real delivery outcomes and how to turn AI-driven velocity into measurable business value.

Este episodio nace de una conversación que tuvimos hace unos días en Madrid durante un evento sobre M&A y tecnología. Por eso, el formato es algo diferente al habitual. ¿Cómo se puede valorar correctamente la tecnología en una operación de adquisición?
En esta charla reunimos a tres referentes del sector para explorar el papel que juega una due diligence técnica rigurosa a la hora de detectar riesgos, identificar oportunidades y asegurar una integración tecnológica exitosa. Discutimos cómo la tecnología puede ser un factor determinante para crear valor sostenible en un proceso de M&A.
Si trabajas en adquisiciones, ya sea desde el lado inversor, técnico o estratégico, este episodio te ayudará a entender mejor cómo evaluar activos tecnológicos y qué mirar más allá del código.
Algunos de los temas que tratamos:* Cómo evaluar estratégicamente los activos tecnológicos
* Riesgos técnicos y oportunidades que no siempre están a la vista
* Qué considerar al estimar la inversión necesaria después de la adquisición
* Cómo asegurar una integración tecnológica alineada con la tesis de inversión
Participan en esta conversación: Jordi Miró Bruix (CTO, Co-Fundador de Ancla.life, advisor e inversor) * Luis Rosa López (Especialista en transformación digital, AWS) * José Enrique Rodríguez Huerta* (Managing Director, Codurance España)

In this fireside chat, we discuss some of the most problems found in legacy systems and how to deal with them. We start our conversation by discussing the perception of complexity and the famous big ball of mud. We also touch upon the fear of changing code, how to isolate changes, the challenges of work parallelization, and testing strategies.
This is a big topic and there is a lot to be discussed yet. We are considering doing a mini-series on this topic. Let us know if you would like us to talk more about legacy systems and which particular area you would like us to expand on.

Testing practices have increased its adoption by developers, shifting left the test responsibilities and increasing the quality of the code, besides that, continuous testing is an agile practice that impacts the software development life cycle.
In this podcast we are going to focus on the TDD anti-patterns, a list inspired by James Carr.
We are very aware of the importance of helping to develop the next generation of software craftspeople and to promote the presence of more women within our sector and for sure, this is something essential to doing great work in most organisation and to talk about why, what and how we have today some incredible people joining us to this podcast.
In this episode we will talk about design patterns, and we try to address this controversial topic by talking about professional experiences and the debates that are generated around design patterns. While free coding is a satisfying endeavour, it's easy to reinvent the wheel and fall into the same mistakes of days gone by.
TDD is dead: long live TDD
- How important is testing when releasing a product? Is it given the right focus? Or Is it an after-thought?
- Who ‘own’ the testing process ? Is it collaborative accountability or it’s better have one separate and specialized test team?
- What is the perceived role of the test team? Do you even have a separate test team or do you work more collaboratively?
- Is the test team engaged early in the process?
- Does testing apply all the time?
- Science and Data Science in this area. How is testing done?
- What value does the testing provide?
- What is the business’ view of risk?
- Does quality mean more than just testing?
- When is testing dispensed with and for what reasons? Can it be justified?
- Are there explicit and implicit testing processes?
- What does a good testing culture look like?
- How can we create a testing culture?
- What would you recommend to someone who is starting with this?
Javier Martínez , Data Engineer and Software Craftsman at Codurance, Alasdair Smith Software Craftsman at Codurance and Jose Enrique Rodríguez Huerta, Managing director at Codurance Spain + software craftsman + organisational transformation consultant chat about that in this episode.
Data-driven technology infrastructures can create a huge increase in value on e-commerce platforms. Machine learning allows you to make better predictions and increase the business value chain through the best user experience. With more complete and accurate information, they can make data-backed decisions that ultimately lead to better products and services. Use technologies like machine learning that have the ability to help you be ubiquitous, run 24/7, and deliver the exact shopping experiences customers are demanding today. We chatted with Shimoku, developers of an ML solution for e-commerce, about this topic.
In this podcast José Enrique Rodríguez Huerta, Managing Director at Codurance Spain will chat with Fernando Díaz, CTO of Mercadona Tech. Mercadona is the biggest supermarket chain in Spain. They have more than 1600 brick and mortar shops throughout Spain and are now starting to expand in Portugal with a few new stores. Fernando and his team ensure that all of these online orders and deliveries can actually happen effectively.
In this session we will talk about the challenges faced by this kind of business in the market today. What kind of expectations do consumers have about how quickly their order is delivered? What about buying more complicated goods such a groceries or perishables? The buying process must be nice and short, straightforward and intuitive. You visit the website, you see and pick what you want, add items to your virtual basket, click, pay and your groceries are delivered to your doorstep in a few hours but ... what happens behind our screens? How does it work? Which parts of the process are automated? How is the Mercadona Tech team involved in coordinating all of this?

Vocabulary: Lead time: One of the most important things, the time it takes for goods to enter your process and for the value or goods to come out of the process. Cycle time: How long a particular stage takes Wait time: The time in between processes Queue time: Each stage would most likely not be synchronized with each other, so the previous stage is producing and is queueing up if the next stage is slower.

Let’s talk about legacy code!
In this episode of Codurance Talks, our craftspeople discuss all of the different facets of legacy code:
- What is legacy code
- What makes legacy code challenging to maintain
- How quickly the knowledge of legacy code can rot away from both a technical and business perspective
- Strategies for dealing with legacy code
An interesting point about legacy code is that it doesn’t have a temporal link to time. Someone could create code today that another user is afraid to touch because of the unknown consequences of doing so.
Our craftspeople, Sam Davies and Chris Bimson return, with the new addition of Andre Torres.
