Craft Conference writeup:
- Wonderful keynote by Dan North about being aware of uncertainity: https://vimeo.com/43603453
- It was pretty unfortunate, but Kyle Kingsbury couldn't make it to the conference, but he managed to record a video for Jepsen V: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcsocrEz9wE&feature=youtu.be (didn't manage to see it yet)
- Adam Tornhill showing outcomes of his static code analysis over large codebases https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfZmuS01CNs . Though I've already seen this presentation, I again started to wonder what would have happened if we would apply it on our codebase. I do disagree with him in terms of copy and paste though (its not that straightforward in terms of microservices)
- http://beta.craft-conf.com/speaker/RachelDavies Rachel has proven to me that XP is still up there in some companies, but some of its practices I still consider unfounded - still there was a nice term of emerge of "Full Spectrum Developer" - person that is not only doing development, but also takes a really large part in defining the product. I think its something that comes up in SMP as well (slowly).
- nice General Theory of Reactivity presentation - really deep, needs a lot of focus, but its worth it: https://github.com/kriskowal/gtor/blob/master/presentation/README.md (I think its worth to wait for video here)
- Daniel Bryant about the role of empathy in Software Development - he pinpointed the reasoning behind of on-call (what we already do) http://www.slideshare.net/dbryant_uk/craftconf16-empathy-the-hidden-ingredient-of-good-software-development?utm_content=buffera6bee&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer
- Building Stateful Services by Catie McCaffrey - really nicely done presentation about rather non-natural way of thinking about services (at least from our angle). In fact most of the services are somewhat stateful (they are just integrated by common database behind). https://speakerdeck.com/caitiem20/craftconf-2016-building-scalable-stateful-services (esp. slide 48)
- Cognitive Biases in Software development - a bit about TDD, and some general manipulation techinques http://jkle.in/biases
- Jez Humble on Statistics applied on DevOps practices, and how they affect the general software development performance. http://www.slideshare.net/jezhumble/what-we-learned-from-three-years-sciencing-the-crap-out-of-devops
