Hi, I’m Felix Roth. I’ve been working in software development since 2011. This blog is a collection of my thoughts on various topics in professional software development. Focus topics are clean code, automated tests, anti-patterns, object orientation and scalable team organization. It is powered by jekyll and GitHub Pages.

The name “Thinking Sideways” is inspired by this quote out of Jim Butcher’s Codex Alera series:

There’s something broken inside your skull, Calderon. You do all your thinking sideways.

I also run a video game Substack.
