This presentation was recorded at GOTO Amsterdam 2022. #GOTOcon #GOTOams Garth Gilmour - Head Of Learning at Instil Software Eamonn Boyle - Development Manager at Gearset ORIGINAL TALK TITLE Shut Up And Eat Your Veg: Lessons from Ancient & Recent History ABSTRACT At previous GOTO events Eamonn and Garth presented 10 lessons from the 1990s that modern developers tend to neglect. Some attendees were in full agreement, whilst others thought they were simply wrong. For this occasion, the duo revamped the talk with fresh advice, admonitions and war stories. So come to see how there is ‘nothing new but the very old’ and acquire valuable skills that have been marginalized during the agile revolution. In this talk, you'll learn: • Tons of useful software development skills and practices that have atrophied in the past few decades • Advice, resources and templates for how to reinvigorate these skills in your projects [...] TIMECODES 00:00 Intro 01:36 The 20 year gap 05:56 No. 1 Draw more pictures 10:15 No. 2 Review at the right level 13:05 No. 3 Value stability 18:14 No. 4 Invent it here 21:39 No. 5 Learn to test 25:14 No. 6 Master the tools 28:13 No. 7 Focus on fundamentals 31:13 No. 8 Remain accountable 33:17 No. 9 Prepare for rain 35:23 No. 10 Remember what matters 36:01 Summary 36:45 Outro Download slides and read the full abstract here: RECOMMENDED BOOKS Gene Kim, Jez Humble, Nicole Forsgren, Patrick Debois & John Willis • The DevOps Handbook • Kiczales, des Rivieres & Bobrow • The Art of the Metaobject Protocol • Forsgren, Humble & Kim • Accelerate: The Science of Lean Software and DevOps • Fred Brooks Jr. • The Mythical Man-Month • Jeremy Kun • A Programmer's Introduction to Mathematics • Scott Wlaschin • Domain Modeling Made Functional • Tom Stuart • Understanding Computation • Sam Halliday • Functional Programming for Mortals with Scalaz • Jack D.
