There has been lots of talk on the importance of writing good and manageable code – code whose inherent beauty bring tears to the eyes of the developer that looks at it. This talk is not like that. This talk will focus on the techniques that are used by millions across the world to bring tears to the eyes of the maintaining developer, as well as a graphic stream of profanities.We will investigate some of the most common anti-patterns and half-measures that occur in real live code, and will marvel at the ingenuity and outright creativity necessary to create ugly messes of unmaintainable code that still manages to work for it’s users.
I made a quick 45 mins presenetation on a local melbourne php meetup talking about Code Quality / Coding standards. The presenation talks about PHP CodeSniffer / CS Fixer and then focuses on PHPMD. Last few sliders talk about how all can be merge together with git webhooks using pre-commit.

The majority of companies are struggling with an issue of growth where they started from handful group of people and reached 1000+ employees. In case of small groups the relationships remind family’s connections so everyone knows each other personally and the atmosphere is warm and charm whereas starting from 500+ to 1k keep it as family is tough and most of the companies come up with processes on one hand and culture on other. There ain’t no silver bullet how to manage it and in the end of the day they are balancing working a lot about good atmosphere in company and setting up relationships between teams. The issue isn’t new however tools and approaches evolved a lot this is where .NET Core and ML.Net comes in handy. These days AI/ML take over the world and bots as one of implementations are already a part of our life therefore our entuthiastic team created a bot using latest .NET Bot Framework v4 who helps managers to “measure” atmosphere in teams and crucial to socialize teams leveraging the power of ML.NET.

German Testing Day 2015 - How behavior-driven development fuses developers an...Bastian Seehaus
What was our motivation at Deutsche Post Adress to use Behaviour Driven Development (BDD), how did we implement it and what benefits did we discover afterwards.
The prelude with the motivation was done in Prezi: https://prezi.com/yon4j9tec8bd/deutschepostadress_and_s-labgermantestingday-part1/
evelopment of Behat and PHPSpec tools cause, that BDD started to show up in minds of PHP developers. How we currently understand this methodology? Is it become effective and helpful in our everyday work? What problems and fails we can meet during tries of applying this methodology to our project?
During this talk, you will see how we can use BDD for modeling our application. One of the benefits will be an application that is not hardly coupled with the framework. So, it will give you the possibility of easy integration with that kind of tool. Also integrating with other infrastructure elements will be easy to implement. Everything thanks to use of ports and adapters approach.
Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD) is a game changer for the whole team! More than just a testing technique, BDD is both a collaboration and a verification tool, and a vital step on the road to Continuous Delivery. In this session, you will learn what BDD is about, its benefits, and how it affects development teams and processes. But you will also see BDD techniques applied to a real project using tools like JBehave, Cucumber, Selenium 2, Thucydides and more!
- Learn how BDD helps teams focus on discovering and delivering the features that really matter! - Learn what it takes to write more relevant and more maintainable automated acceptance tests - Discover how a well-designed set of automated acceptance criteria can also be a powerful documentation and reporting tool. - See where BDD fits into a Continuous Delivery pipeline.
- And learn how product owners use BDD and Thucydides to drive, coordinate and document releases.
Learn how much more there is to BDD than just “Given..When..Then”!

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
