Dan North - Originator of Behavior Driven Development (BDD) & Principal Consultant ‪@daniel-terhorst-north‬
ABSTRACT
When I started in IT the roles were clearly separated. Business Analysts wrote requirements, Architects designed them, Programmers wrote the code, Testers tested the software. Over the last decade or so we have seen a shift towards “generalising specialists” who can cut code, understand a business domain, design a user interface, participate in and automate some of the testing and deployment activities [...]

If it changes every time you do it, don't automate it. If doing it becomes boring, DO automate it.

This is one of my top presentations recommendations. It has actually made me put a lot of perspective at work. Dan North is the best :)

[@JeremyAndersonBoise]

I can’t get enough of Dan North, he is a fantastic thinker. 28:00 and five minutes on either side is truly golden.

[@lytecyde]

Jeremy Anderson Same here though I wished he was more organised

[@JeremyAndersonBoise]

Mik Seljamaa.Nagaoka In what way, specifically? I think he’s a great presenter

[@lytecyde]

Jeremy Anderson sometimes he does not go through all his materials it seems. Though not in this case. He is not just a brilliant presenter, however. He is beaming with positivity and that's so motivating!

"Individuals and interactions" most agile teams are so anal about delivering every little thing at the precise microsecond they dont give a shit about anyone

[@dichylover666]

Did he say "Its made up of steam and goats and stuff"? :D

[@bastianwollny6605]
