Honorable Mentions
“Never rewrite. Never stop delivery.” Book
In 2024, I published “The Emotional and Technical Guide to Rescue Stalled Software,” a carefully curated and enriched selection of Medium articles addressing a critical challenge in software development: how to rescue projects that have lost their agility. The book not only compiles these articles but also includes new connecting content that weaves them into a cohesive narrative, exploring how to overcome both technical and psychological barriers in software rescue.
Built around the golden rule “Never rewrite. Never stop delivery,” the book provides both practical techniques for transforming legacy code and strategies for overcoming the fears and doubts that often prevent developers from taking action. Through real-world examples and proven approaches, it offers a complete framework for bringing troubled projects back to life while keeping your software — and your team — moving forward.
The book is available on Amazon:

Bio
I am David Rodenas, PhD in Computer Architecture and MS in Computer Engineering. I am passionate and a computer programmer since eight years old. At secondary school I built with C and C++, a CRM for a shop, a ray tracer and a back-propagation neural net. I started to work professionally in 1998, and I have been a teacher as a side-project since 2002.
In 2008, I became a member of the Official Professional Association of Computer Engineering of Catalonia (COEINF). I was Vice-dean during 2016–2020, and I have been working to introduce the concept of developer professionalism. Since, 2011, I have been a speaker in multiple professional events. As a teacher, and as a community member, I always say that if you learned something interesting, you should share it with others. That is why I am here at medium.
My background as a researcher and teacher has given me a good perspective to analyze, test, and summarize the current status of the profession. I am currently in the task of documenting, and sharing, the current software engineering strategies.
Thanks for the read, and thank you for joining me on this journey through the world of software engineering and technology. Your engagement and curiosity fuel my passion for writing and sharing insights in this ever-evolving field. Each story I write is not just a sharing of knowledge, but also a personal learning experience, a reflection of my continuous growth alongside you, my readers. As you navigate through my stories, I hope you find sparks of inspiration that ignite your own passion for technology and innovation. The landscape of software engineering is as vast as it is fascinating, and there’s always something new to discover. Keep exploring, keep questioning, and most importantly, keep sharing your unique perspectives with the world.
🙏 Your contributions make all the difference. 🙏
