Verbal Communication vs Asynchronous Communication
Developers should learn and use verbal communication to explain complex technical issues to non-technical audiences, such as during project meetings or client presentations meets developers should learn asynchronous communication to build scalable and resilient applications, especially in microservices, distributed systems, and high-traffic web services where real-time synchronization is impractical. Here's our take.
Verbal Communication
Developers should learn and use verbal communication to explain complex technical issues to non-technical audiences, such as during project meetings or client presentations
Verbal Communication
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and use verbal communication to explain complex technical issues to non-technical audiences, such as during project meetings or client presentations
Pros
- +It is crucial for pair programming, code reviews, and agile ceremonies like stand-ups and retrospectives, where clear articulation of ideas and feedback improves team efficiency and project outcomes
- +Related to: written-communication, active-listening
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Asynchronous Communication
Developers should learn asynchronous communication to build scalable and resilient applications, especially in microservices, distributed systems, and high-traffic web services where real-time synchronization is impractical
Pros
- +It is crucial for handling long-running tasks, such as file processing or API calls, without blocking user interfaces or other processes, and for implementing event-driven patterns in cloud-native and serverless architectures
- +Related to: message-queues, event-driven-architecture
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Verbal Communication if: You want it is crucial for pair programming, code reviews, and agile ceremonies like stand-ups and retrospectives, where clear articulation of ideas and feedback improves team efficiency and project outcomes and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Asynchronous Communication if: You prioritize it is crucial for handling long-running tasks, such as file processing or api calls, without blocking user interfaces or other processes, and for implementing event-driven patterns in cloud-native and serverless architectures over what Verbal Communication offers.
