Evidence-Based Practice vs Intuitive Practice
Developers should learn and use Evidence-Based Practice to make informed decisions about technologies, architectures, and processes, especially in complex or high-stakes projects where poor choices can lead to failures or inefficiencies meets developers should learn intuitive practice when working on projects with high uncertainty, rapid changes, or novel challenges where rigid methodologies may fall short, such as in startups, research and development, or creative software domains. Here's our take.
Evidence-Based Practice
Developers should learn and use Evidence-Based Practice to make informed decisions about technologies, architectures, and processes, especially in complex or high-stakes projects where poor choices can lead to failures or inefficiencies
Evidence-Based Practice
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and use Evidence-Based Practice to make informed decisions about technologies, architectures, and processes, especially in complex or high-stakes projects where poor choices can lead to failures or inefficiencies
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable in contexts like healthcare software, financial systems, or large-scale enterprise applications, where reliability and performance are critical, and in agile or DevOps environments to optimize workflows based on data-driven insights
- +Related to: agile-methodology, devops
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Intuitive Practice
Developers should learn Intuitive Practice when working on projects with high uncertainty, rapid changes, or novel challenges where rigid methodologies may fall short, such as in startups, research and development, or creative software domains
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for senior developers and team leads who need to make quick, effective decisions based on incomplete information, fostering innovation and reducing bottlenecks in agile or iterative environments
- +Related to: agile-methodology, lean-software-development
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Evidence-Based Practice if: You want it is particularly valuable in contexts like healthcare software, financial systems, or large-scale enterprise applications, where reliability and performance are critical, and in agile or devops environments to optimize workflows based on data-driven insights and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Intuitive Practice if: You prioritize it is particularly useful for senior developers and team leads who need to make quick, effective decisions based on incomplete information, fostering innovation and reducing bottlenecks in agile or iterative environments over what Evidence-Based Practice offers.
Developers should learn and use Evidence-Based Practice to make informed decisions about technologies, architectures, and processes, especially in complex or high-stakes projects where poor choices can lead to failures or inefficiencies
