Make the last mile your first when developing a new software project. It's way too common for teams and individuals to spend most of their time writing code and leave the non-trivial aspects of deploying it to production for the end. And that's when it's the most costly and when the pressure to cram in more features is at its peak. I predict the approach of starting by your last mile, i.e., shipping your code to production as soon as you write the first line. Read more about why I think this way in the last issue of my newsletter. https://lnkd.in/d3qASB8f #CTO #EngineeringLeadership #LastMile
Nice article, Sergio! It caught my attention, even though I’m not a tech guy. Yes, it makes sense to start with tasks that are non-negotiable, check them off, and then focus fully on creating value. This way, there’s a much better chance of delivering on time, which is valuable in itself. Great read, thanks for sharing!

I don't have a complex ci/cd process, but I always start with a simple boilerplate that includes a deploy script. You can ship easily = you will ship more.

3moHey Sergio, spot on! Starting with deployment really shifts the mindset from 'code complete' to 'feature complete'. It reminds me of a project I worked on where we integrated deployment early and it saved us countless headaches later. Curious, what tools do you recommend for getting started with this method?
