we are crowd, we are anonymous
TRANSCRIPT
… A word of warning …
It is not may intention to make you feel offended,
this talk is
my view of the world,my experience,
my life,my twisted sense of humour
Respect it!!!
Who am I?Journeyman through
space, time and technology
devoted follower in church of JVM
Archaeologist of legacy code
codebases we work with, suck
Architects are stupid (I want to become one)
I hate trend setters at conferences
technology X sucks big time, and Y is new cool
My manager doesn't understand how to do software
All these processes and deadlines are sick
Decision Fatigue
Distractions, distractions
10-15 minutes Penalty
Meetings, emails, MessengersOpen space
What we deliverIs not
What customers get
We tend to forget about it
We live in an illusion that code
Is important
How many times you have heard from your customer
“I saw your recent change to registration form, from the first look I
knew it was you who coded it”
„I think this pagination on orders page was probably coded by Tomasz, it must
have been him”
stop complaining, criticizing and whining
Be full of respect for the past generations,
because the way you talk about old code today,
will be the same way people will be
talking about your code years from now
Be full of care about future generations,
they will have to live with your legacy code
Be full of childish curiosity, embrace failures,
be open, experiment and share
Being proud of what you are doing is most rewarding thing in our life
Be proud of who you are, don’t accept mediocrity
but don’t punish people for it
Don’t make people feel bad about it (I know it is hard, trust me)
if code is bad, change it,
if your not happy with a conference talk,
submit your own,
if you think your manager is an a**hole, become one,
for a moment,
Do anything, to be proud ofwho you are,
pride of your work will come later,
Really
Once you gain,Experience,Confidence,
Respect & trust
