‘Conways Law fundamentally only says that it is easier to collaborate with people we talk to, which is honestly only a revelation to people in tech.’ 🔥

Two things that not only #AI knows: 1. Option-Hyphen 2. Option-Shift-Hyphen

‘One major step in the move from dev to architecture is to stop expecting to be told how to act and start deciding how to act based on your own knowledge’ - @technologytulip.bsky.social at #NDCOslo

When the #NDCOslo keynote leans into product management: ‘our industry is too solution-oriented… we need to be more problem-oriented’

This is the presentation I’m most looking forward to seeing at NDC Oslo next week 😀

PSA to conference attendees: One of the biggest things you can do for a talk you really liked is to come say that personally to the speaker. Also, leave feedback in the official app if there is one. It helps both speakers and organizers. Rating a talk highly will lead to more people seeing it.

Unlike @andersnoras.com I was on time for @einarwh.bsky.social’s excellent @devoxx.uk story about the two zombies of architecture and agile: ‘both dead, but still walking among us’

Great seeing @hilton.org.uk again after @devoxx.uk 2024! His topic about zero-bug policy success was grear. I always like experiential stories and it gave some great insights. Plus, I've learned about the Joel tests which I didn't know about before. 💡💡 #DevoxxUK #conference #development

Do business software web developers who grew up with a closed-garden web (Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) inflict the same user-hostile siloed web application design on corporate intranets? Only *some* B2B SaaS is terrible in this respect, at least #openWeb
