First Principles in Software Engineering
Description
In this episode of The Agile Software Engineering Deep Dive, Alessandro Guida explores what first-principles thinking means and how it can be applied to software engineering.
The episode moves from the philosophical roots of first principles into practical engineering questions about architecture, Agile, microservices, technical debt, software quality, and AI-assisted development.
The core idea is simple: before choosing methods, tools, frameworks, or fashionable solutions, we should understand what is fundamentally true about the problem, the system, and the engineering responsibility behind it.
