SESSION + Live Q&A
Develop Your Development Experience
Developers don’t get paid to write code. We deliver working software in production. How does your team turn source code into running software? And how do you make sure it stays working? If it’s like my experiences, the process is too intricate for words. Instead, let’s code it. How quickly can we get from an idea to deployment? I can spin up a project, change a bit of code, then track that through tests, code review, and into production: give me ten minutes and a few button clicks. You’ll say, but my deployment process is unique. That’s OK: we’re developers, and we can code this. Build complete? How about a nice button for deployment. Oh wait it needs review? Enforce policies in code, not through training. Build failed? Here’s a DM in Slack that includes the error from the log. Forgot to format your code? Oh look I did that. It’s like adding a team member who looooves to update issue status and check on the status of that PR for you. Let’s scale up ourselves: with our software development machine, a team can take care of more software and still build new things. Have a new organizational best practice? Put that in code and roll it out to every existing repository in minutes. Atomist expands the range of development automation past what we have considered. Come to this session, and be the developer who makes a 10x team.

Taking Back “Software Engineering”
Would you fly in a plane designed by a craftsman or would you prefer your aircraft to be designed by engineers? Engineering is the application of iterative, empirical, practical science to real-world problems. Craftsmanship is a wonderful thing, and as a reaction to the terrible abuses of the...

Improving Life in Smaller, Heterogeneous Projects
Many presentations on Developer Experience focus on a single large ongoing project, or a particular methodology or toolset. The consulting world faces a multitude of fixed length projects of various sizes, with an astoundingly diverse array of constraints and givens. How do we ensure a good...
