Mary Poppendick 1. Don't assume that everyone knows what they are doing. 2:55 2. Your job is not to do what you're told. Your job is to understand what results you are supposed get and figure out what it takes to get those results. 6:36 Mike Amundsen 3. Your perspective, your starting point, is super important. 9:05 Allen Holub 4. Code readability is important. 14:10 Bernd Rücker 5. The knowledge around architecture, domains, and boundaries 19:14 Aino Vonge Corry 6. That it's ok not to know everything, and that it's ok to ask for help, and that it's ok to feel stupid. 21:33 Uncle Bob 7. It is completely stupid to work 80 hour weeks. 28:00 8. Don't quit in anger and don't quit suddenly. 28:41

Your job is not to do what you are told. Your job is to understand what results you are supposed to get 🔥

On the point of the expansion of programmers and there is no one to teach the juniors. I can agree! Juniors get hired and they hope to learn from the "seniors" but the seniors do not know also. We are kind of doomed to reinvent the learning circle again and again. Doomed to "rediscover" the old things.

Love this video Released on my birthday

[@stannone7272]

This talk was awesome! Part 2 please.

[@bradleymorris161]

Really really enjoyed this. I would love for it to have been another hour long.

[@flygonfiasco9751]

Very nice discussion!

[@stannone7272]

I did not see any company who did the jump successfully from the old ways of thinking to the new agile way of thinking.

[@stannone7272]

No effence but daaamn they are old! Its strange to me to see "old" faces talking about programming. Good talk! Thanks!

When I first graduated, I met an retiring civil engineer (he spent much of his career rebuilding road infrastructure after World War 2). A bunch of grads commented what could we possibly learn from him - technology has changed so much. He was pretty clever and responded with "I have something that none of you have - years of mistakes". I spent the afternoon listening to his stories from his career. It was a golden experience.

When they speak of "standing on the shoulders of giants", these are those giants.

[@WouterSimonsPlus]

Mary tells the best stories!

[@nickbarton3191]

I've seen SMEs try to grow by bringing in corporate management teams, abandoning true Agile and adopting large cumbersome organisational structures under the banner "The Agile Process". Just about kills innovation and the pace.

The pain of seeing people want to speak but being spoken over. The race of getting the word amongst people who are used to be the interviewed or the sole presenter. They should have used a hand-raising function, been more attentive to each other or moderated better.
