What is Project vNext?
My name is Derek Rushing, and I have been working in Software Development since 2009. I have worked on everything from Real-Time Embedded to SasS, from Infrastructure to UI (You should NOT hire me for my UI skills unless you are truly desperate). Project vNext is meant to make my learnings (both from success and failure) more accessible to more companies. After working for 6 companies over 15 years I developed a focus on Architecture, BTD (Build, Test, and Deploy), and the Development Process. Everything else matters, but if you mess those up then you aren’t going to be able to continue to develop features at the pace you need to grow your business.
What does Project vNext do differently?
From a Development perspective, Project vNext practices Disaster Driven Development (DDD). Most people are familiar with TDD (Test Driven Development), but what Project vNext tries to focus on is your next disaster and how to mitigate it. That could be anything from
Your database is about to fall over
You don’t have enough features to make money
Your CI/CD takes too long and are losing the ability to make changes quickly
Project vNext is here to help you figure out your biggest pain point and help fix it. Could be 1000s of lines of code, or the right setting in a DB, either way the focus is on disasters as they almost always have the biggest returns on investment.
From a consultation perspective, the goal is to help you tackle 1 or more of your hardest problems and make near immediate improvements. Getting things perfect takes time, but getting things better is usually something that can happen quickly.
