The Pony Express & How Technology Moves Fast • PJ Hagerty • GOTO 2021

This presentation was recorded at GOTOpia Chicago 2021. #GOTOcon #GOTOpia http://gotochgo.com PJ Hagerty - Developer Advocate at Mattermost, who's traveled the world speaking about programming and the way people think and interact ABSTRACT It's been said many times - technology moves fast. As do the philosophies behind it. This isn't new - the Pony Express lasted only 18 months before being replaced by telegraph. Why is turnover so fast? What are the benefits and pitfalls to this turnover? Where is the value in what we do? This talk will take a look at certain aspects of tech to see where we find value, where things have been built on shaky ground, and where strong foundations will move the industry forward. We'll take a look at: • Philosophies and Fads (Agile, DevOps, BDD/TDD/Shame Driven Development) • Programming Languages: Emerging vs Established • Hardware, the Cloud, Containers, and Serverless [...] TIMECODES 00:00 Intro 01:24 Some history 07:33 Tech philosophy 08:17 Waterfall 11:28 Agile 13:55 DevOps 16:52 TDD - Test Driven Dev. 18:01 BDD - Behavior Driven Dev. 18:50 SDD - Shame Driven Dev. 19:55 Language zealotry 20:42 Innovation: Startup world 23:10 Innovation: Moving forward 24:12 Conclusion 26:59 Outro Download slides and read the full abstract here: https://gotochgo.com/2021/sessions/1802/the-pony-express-and-how-technology-moves-fast RECOMMENDED BOOKS Wynne, Hellesoy & Tooke • The Cucumber Book • https://amzn.to/3tEUINJ Robert C.
