I've enjoyed my time working for Iptor, but I found I just couldn't refuse Carl-Johan when he offered me a job at eLabs. I first med C-J a few years ago at Got.rb, the local Ruby User Group, and I know he has a great entrepreneurial spirit and deep technical...
It occurred to me that I should mention that I now work for Iptor Konsult AB rather than IBS JavaSolutions. This is not due to my changing jobs, rather that IBS decided that since we don't do the same things as the rest of the company, we should have a separate name...
Today at europython we listened to a keynote about Bletchley Park. This was the centre of British and allied codebreaking activities during the second world war, and where the first digital, programmable computer was built, Colossus. We heard about the current...
If you were looking to employ someone, what would you say to a candidate like this:highly intelligent, excellent qualifications for the job, 10 years relevant experience, hardworking, ambitious.Sounds good, doesn't it? What if she then added:has 2 children, will not...
This week I was finally invited to the architect forum meeting. Ten more or less geeky men, and me. It's funny, I don't usually think about the gender imbalance in the software industry much. On this occasion though, I felt distinctly uncomfortable. They all seemed to...
The full programme for SDC2009 in March will be published in about a week's time, but I can already tell it will be a great event. The call for papers is now closed, and the website has been updated with photos of all the booked speakers. With only one day of talks,...
What do you have to do to get me to come and work for your company? Well, it seems a couple of free lunches and some good geeky conversation works pretty well. Of course, it helps if you're also offering me an exciting mix of software development work, high calibre...
Miranda was born last Thursday, a healthy little girl 53cm long and weighing 3.77kg. Her big sister Karina, (now three and a half) and Geoff and I are all doing well.I hope to be at home with Miranda for about 6 months, so I don't expect to write much here for a while.
Hello.I'm a bit nervous actually. I haven't had a blog before. I'm hoping that it will turn into a place for me to write interesting articles about coding, which is an activity I enjoy. (I enjoy cooking too but I don't expect I will be writing about that so much.)I...
Hi – I´m Emily!
I am an independent consultant with Bache Consulting and chair of the Samman Technical Coaching Society. As a technical coach I work with software development organizations who want to get better at the technical practices needed to be agile, including Test-Driven Development, Refactoring and Incremental Design. I live in Gothenburg, Sweden, although I am originally from the UK. I’ve written two books: “Technical Agile Coaching with the Samman method” and “The Coding Dojo Handbook”. I teach for both O’Reilly and Pluralsight. I’m married to Geoff Bache, creator of TextTest. I am also on Mastodon as emilybache@sw-development-is.social.
If you’d like to know a bit more about me, my work, and the talks and workshops I offer, please visit my main website: EmilyBache.com. There, you’ll find information about my background, upcoming events, and the services I provide as a technical coach and consultant. It’s a good place to start if you’re curious about how I can support your team in improving coding skills and agile practices.
