Dylan Beattie - The Cost of Code

[@UliTroyo]

Each of Dylan’s talks is a voyage. I just wanted to be entertained during breakfast.

[@joshmarsten7294]

That would be better breakfast than coffee

[@ShinjiGetsGrounded]

I'm not even a programmer I just watch all this guys talks

[@Proppeti]

I don't even speak English!! Just kidding 😂😂

[@4F6D]

Then start!

[@HeilTec]

Amazing perspective, great view, and clearly presented in present tense (counting the occurrence of the word "now" - ;) in a riveting fashion.

[@dgkimpton]

Somehow I suspect the response will be lots of head nodding, agreement, and then going back to doing exactly what was being done before :( These issues are so huge it doesn't seem like an individual can fix them... and yet if individuals don't act nothing will happen. I suppose talking about these issues is a good first step.

[@joshmarsten7294]

Interesting

This was probably the longest and most entertaining sales pitch I have ever seen.

[@gregtime]

Great talk!

[@edgeeffect]

Wow Dylan.... I mean, I usually "quite like" your talks..... but, 'kin'ell, that one was "a biggie"! "Bardzo dziękuję" indeed!

[@peterwmdavis]

38:46 this is false. The plane flies just fine without MCAS. It’s just that it would have flown *differently*, which would have required a different type rating for pilots. Great story, but I want to correct the misconception that the 737 MAX is fundamentally unstable.

All the radioactive stuff was in the ground before we dug it up, so what's the issue with putting it back when we're done taking the neodymium out of it?

[@janhofmann3499]

The ore was a solid block and over time released only few radioactive particles when exposed to water. Good storage. Now it’s radioactive sludge. This stuff MUST not get in contact with ground water.

[@diablominero]

@@janhofmann3499 fair enough, but that's pretty easy to solve. Just let the water evaporate and leave radioactive dust behind, mix the dust with clay, fire it, and bury the ceramic. And then we don't have to put up signs telling people not to dig, because there were no signs for us and we turned out fine.

[@devcybiko]

Thank you, Captain Obvious. Never has there been a more meandering and pointless presentation. Lots of entertaining data points, but no real solutions nor best practices. As usual - enteraining as all get out. But just a nic 45-minute click-bait meme. No real estimate of "the cost of software."

[@sfdntk]

Why are you so upset?

[@4F6D]

He never said he had a solution or best practice, its a complete philosophical talk. Man you really must be a fun guy.
