Software should be designed, written, and deployed in small batches.
Of all of the insights I’ve contributed to the companies I’ve worked at over the years, the one I am most proud of is the importance of working in small batches. It’s had tremendous impact in many areas: continuous deployment, just-in-time scalability, and even search engine marketing, to name a few. I owe it originally to lean manufacturing books like Lean Thinking and Toyota Production System.
