How you build something is more important than what you’re building
Is your code simple, clean and maintainable? That’s the first question you should be asking rather than focusing on function. Studies have shown that up to 70% of the cost of software is incurred during maintenance. Readability, or the ease of reading source code, can promote software maintainability and is at the core of MX’s philosophy. In this 20-minute session, Brandon Dewitt, MX’s CTO, is discussing the fundamentals of building technology and how MX is delivering innovation and better code directly into the hands of engineers responsible for technology in their financial institutions.
Key takeaways:
- Building a maintainable platform
- Why style of code matters
- Facilitating a smooth transition as you onboard new engineers
