PS: Thinking small as the path to software engineering

In this episode, Michael Vax shares his strategy of keeping his software under continual use in a production environment to keep a agile engineering environment. It takes a re-thinking of software development, but by doing work in a series of very short, modular, sprints it is possible to improve quality and get direct customer feedback to avoid wasted effort building the wrong thing.
