The Cloud Native Diabolical Developer by Martijn Verburg

It's been 8 years since the Diabolical Developer hosted this in(famous) session in which he challenged everything that the modern developer holds to be good and true. But now things are different, we've moved on, we now have Cloud Native First technologies like Docker, Kubernetes, Istio, all of the AWS services and even Serverless. So we're sorted now, right? No, no we are not. The developer today stands in a sea of DevOps tools, Cloud providers, service meshe's, APIs, frameworks, best practices, software development methodologies, and much more, all designed to stop you from actually writing code. WAT. The session takes you through practical steps you can take to free yourself from the cloud-native chains the industry has put on you. You will leave empowered and will get back to doing what you love the most, actually writing code.
