I have 25 years of software development experience both as an individual contributor in real time development environments and as an engineering manager of various sized groups. As a developer I primarily coded in C and assembly language. If I were to describe the coding technique from that period in my career I would characterize it as well documented and well tested (white, black, boundary).As an engineering manager my focus is always on team building and development and helping engineers on my teams to succeed and grow professionally. Creating a collaborative development environment with positive forms of checks and balances in the form of development/coding standards, peer reviews, final reviews and release processes are the basic tools I use to maintain the highest level of quality in the end product while avoiding damaged egos along the way. Engineers that work for me know that their work will be reviewed by their peers and should expect and accept honest constructive criticism as part of their day-to-day development processes.
