Software Developers Changed Everything - We Can Be Proud of Ourselves!
summary
Software developers claim concrete wins: they build JUnit in 1991 to catch bugs early, drive the Agile turn around the 2001 manifesto to shorten feedback loops, and invent DevOps in 2009 to remove the handoff to operations. They create measurable tools: SonarQube metrics, modularity maturity index 8.4 on a 15 million‑LOC system, and collaborative techniques like EventStorming and Domain Storytelling to form a ubiquitous language. Surprising scale examples: a 3 million‑LOC codebase that needs 30 developers when 10–12 should suffice, and the Scout rule for leaving code better than found.
