RubyConf 2019 - No Return: Beyond Transactions in Code and Life by Avdi Grimm

RubyConf 2019 - No Return: Beyond Transactions in Code and Life by Avdi Grimm At the root of catastrophes in both code and life lies a pervasive fallacy: the attempt to model processes as if they were transactions. Join me for an honest, sometimes raw retrospective on two decades of building a software development career. We’ll examine how personal philosophy impacts software design—and vice-versa. We’ll encounter the Transactional Fallacy, and how it can hinder our attempts to build resilient systems. And we’ll explore how a narrative-oriented mindset can lead to both better code and a more joyful life. #confreaks #rubyconf2019
