ClueCon Weekly with Arthur Doler [Sn. 15 Ep. 4]: The Archaeology of Code
Jon Gray sits down with Arthur Doler, Senior Software Developer at Aviture and self-described “navigator of code,” to explore the fascinating idea of code as archaeology.
Arthur shares stories from years of consulting and digging through messy, inherited projects, allowed him to shift from judgment to curiosity and how empathy transforms the way developers read and understand code. From the psychology of how our brains process code, to techniques like chunking, refactoring for understanding, and documenting as you go, Arthur makes the case that reading code is just as critical a skill as writing it.
