Dear Dev, One essay recommended to me early on in my career was “Object Calisthenics” (OC) and since that time I recommend it to every developer I cross paths with. “Object Calisthenics” describes a set of 9 rules credited to Jeff Bays in the book The ThoughtWork Anthology. The goal of these rules is to empower a developer to write cleaner, more maintainable code.There is a lot of value in being familiar with the OC rules, however there is also value in conversation with other developers, and hearing their opinions on the rules. I’d like to share my opinions over the Object Calisthenics ruleset.

Transitioning to a career in Software Development is a lucrative idea to many people. Programming jobs often allow flexibility in their positions such as offering remote work, are highly sought after by companies from any field or sector, and of course, their paychecks are a nice chunk of change. One of the most common modern-day methods of learning programming is via a bootcamp. Their fast paced, full-throttle curriculum and flashy guarantees of “Get a Dev Career in Just Three Months!” make for a very alluring opportunity. After all, most people who are looking to transition into a new career already have a packed schedule, like family obligations and their current job, or a desire to quickly find employment.However, bootcamps are still an investment and come at a cost. Many bootcamps supplement their short amount of time with a hefty price tag, and it can be hard to justify the expense. Even with their accelerated pace of study, bootcamps still take a time commitment that can disrupt your schedule and demand hours of your attention. This may leave you wondering - “Is a bootcamp right for me?”

The Digital Backpack Refresh Just like students start the school year with fresh notebooks and sharpened pencils, designers should periodically update their “digital backpacks.” The design industry moves quickly, and sticking with outdated software can be like showing up to class with last year’s textbooks. Staying relevant in this ever-changing landscape is essential, and designers who consistently learn and adopt new tools signal adaptability and forward thinking to employers and clients.

Just One Feature Let’s say you have a website written in HTML, and you’d like to add a comments section to it and allow for more interactive features in the future. One option is to use a javascript framework like Vue or React. To implement the comments feature, all you need to do is choose a build tool, install a bunch of libraries, set up the project using a project template, and somehow integrate it with your existing website.

Introduction It was Friday afternoon on the last sprint of the quarter. After months of stakeholder meetings, demos, experimentation, and testing, we deployed at 4:00 PM. By 4:05, we wished we hadn’t. An unhandled edge case in a last-minute revision sparked an hours-long production fire that affected promotional payment processing, costing the company tens of thousands of dollars in lost sales from frustrated customers.

As a hybrid (mostly remote) team, we don’t gather around a literal water cooler much these days. Instead, our “off-topic” moments live in our hobby Slack channels: pictures of our pets and plants, the results of culinary experiments, random hobbies, and travel photos. We share movies, tv, and games, but the best conversations and the spiciest takes are in our music channel.

From Extended Cognition to Peripheral Cognizance Most of us already extend our thinking into the tools we use. Alarms nudge us awake and remind us to take meds or do chores. We set calendar notifications for meetings we might otherwise forget. GPS recalculates when we miss a turn. These are everyday examples of extended cognition—our minds stretching into our devices.

For decades, we’ve been shackled—quietly and obediently—to operating systems. They promised order, organization, and access. They gave us desktops, dashboards, and docked icons. They also locked us into their structures, demanded obedience to syntax, to sequences of clicks and keystrokes that said: “Use it our way.”
