The document discusses how the software development field is changing, moving away from traditional employment models towards more freelance and remote work. It notes trends like fewer developers working in offices, more open source contributions, and individuals building personal brands and communities online through blogging, open sourcing their work, and public speaking. The future described emphasizes independence, investing in one's own resume and skills rather than relying on a single employer, and making a career out of community-building, advocacy, and evangelism rather than just writing code.

Five Trends We Are Afraid Of
Yegor Bugayenko outlines five trends in software development that people are afraid of: 1) No hackers as the industry becomes more accessible and salaries increase, 2) Slow and expensive hardware becomes a thing of the past as technology advances, 3) No proprietary code as more developers share and contribute to open source projects, 4) No middlemen as developers can work directly with customers, and 5) No servers as cloud computing becomes the norm.
FXD 2019 Keynote: Stephen Gates, InVision
The document discusses challenges that companies face in fully adopting design practices and realizing their benefits. It notes that most companies are struggling to affect change at all levels of the organization. A study of over 2,200 companies across 23 industries found that only 5% have fully adopted design practices and realized high benefits, while 41% have low adoption of design. The document advocates for confronting cultural barriers and biases that prevent change, and investing in cultural and emotional innovation as much as product innovation. It provides examples of practices companies can adopt to help shift team behaviors and perspectives.
PrDC Deliver - Agile 18 Years Later
The document discusses how agile practices have evolved over the past 18 years since the Agile Manifesto was published in 2001. It summarizes the results of an annual survey on the state of agile that shows how agile adoption has increased but also faces ongoing barriers. While scrum remains popular, hybrid and customized approaches are growing. It also suggests areas for improving agile implementation including focusing on purpose, co-creation, and experimentation over resistance to change.

The document discusses different contexts for using impact mapping and provides tips for each context. It describes four contexts: focusing delivery when objectives are known but there are many of them, reframing a problem when objectives are unclear or not shared, setting vision when solutions are prescribed rather than objectives, and changing a business when a group wants to find new objectives. For each context, it provides high-level steps to use impact mapping and also includes an additional "bonus tip".

The document discusses the basics of business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce. It emphasizes that B2B customers have come to expect the same easy online shopping experiences they find on consumer sites. It stresses that B2B sites should allow customers to easily find desired products through effective search and navigation features. It also urges B2B sites to make it simple for customers to act on the information they find by facilitating actions like adding products to carts or requesting quotes. Finally, it notes that B2B customers want a consistent experience across all digital channels and devices because they are visiting the site as part of their job.
Accidental DataOps
Usually, DataOps means applying DevOps principles to existing data analytics projects. We accidentally reversed it, taking a DevOps initiative and catalyzing adoption of data-driven practices across our company.
What started as a practical initiative to bring better reliability and visibility to our software product had the unexpected effect of catalyzing a transformation that helped our organization become more data-driven across the company. What we learned in the process was how and why DevOps principles can naturally expand the role of a traditional operations team and bring wider culture change to the organization.

Software Testing Pitfalls
Yegor Bugayenko gave a presentation titled "Software Testing Pitfalls" at JPoint 2019 in Moscow, Russia. The presentation discussed 4 common misconceptions about software testing: 1) testers are not second-class citizens, 2) testers don't tell developers when to release software, 3) testing is not finished when enough bugs are found, and 4) testers should not be rewarded solely for the number of bugs found, but rather for getting bugs fixed.
Is Your Agile Lean Enough
As a passionate Agile professional, dedicated to Agile adoption, do you sometimes encounter resistance when talking to other departments in your company? Do they struggle to connect the dots between agile values, principles & practices and measurable business outcomes? Are perceptions of Agile being flabby and wasteful preventing people from tasting it? Would it help to complement Agile with a Lean Diet? Join George Tsai as he helps us explore Agile, Lean and if they might complement each other. This will be a provocative conversation so bring your curiosity and an open mind and prepare to be challenged.
Understanding Design Tokens, from UX tool to production - Débora Barreto Orne...
Design tokens are key-value pairs that define design properties like colors, spacing, and typography. They are created in a design tool like Figma and synced to code repositories to ensure consistency and save time for designers and developers when updating a design system. The main challenges of using design tokens are communication between teams, naming tokens in a scalable way, and versioning tokens. Having strategies to address these challenges early on helps the success of a design token system. The presentation demonstrated how tokens are used at LEGO from Figma to component libraries to applications.

Can Distributed Teams Deliver Quality?
The document discusses whether distributed teams can deliver high quality code. It argues that quality can only be achieved through control and enforcement, with programmers being forced to write high-quality code. Quality is defined as maintainability. Some ways to achieve quality include making the master branch read-only, having a fragile build process, and requiring unbiased code reviews. However, co-located teams can be against quality due to chats, social biases, friendship, and monthly salaries interfering. But distributed teams can produce higher quality if managed properly by avoiding those distractions.
Are You Sure You Are Not a Micromanager?
This document appears to be a series of prompts assessing how much of a micromanager someone is through their responses. It provides multiple choice answers to hypothetical situations a manager might face regarding underperforming employees, missed deadlines, attending meetings, and prioritizing tasks. The person is told they will be given a score to determine if they are a micromanager based on their selected responses. It concludes by providing an email address to contact for more details.

Some ways to achieve quality include making the master branch read-only, having a fragile build process, and requiring unbiased code reviews.

But distributed teams can produce higher quality if managed properly by avoiding those distractions.
Are You Sure You Are Not a Micromanager?
This document appears to be a series of prompts assessing how much of a micromanager someone is through their responses. It provides multiple choice answers to hypothetical situations a manager might face regarding underperforming employees, missed deadlines, attending meetings, and prioritizing tasks. The person is told they will be given a score to determine if they are a micromanager based on their selected responses. It concludes by providing an email address to contact for more details.
On Requirements Management (Demotivate Them Right)
This document contains a discussion between two users, yegor256 and yb191209, about software requirements. It includes requirements such as each requirement must be necessary, unambiguous, etc. per IEEE standards. It also lists specific requirements for an application such as supporting multiple API versions, encrypting credit card numbers, generating PDF reports, and using UUIDs for account numbers. The users discuss options for meeting requirements around performance, the user interface, and data formats.
My Experience of 1000 Interviews
The document discusses Yegor Bugayenko's experience interviewing thousands of candidates over 288 months. It outlines seven sins of an interviewing manager: arrogance, credulity, self-obsession, vagueness, hostility, emotions, and mystery. Each sin is defined in Russian and examples are given of how they negatively impact interviews. Certification costs and sample interview questions are also listed.
Are you sure you are not a micromanager?
This document appears to be a series of scenarios that test for micromanagement tendencies. It presents multiple choice questions about how to handle various situations with direct reports, such as an employee wanting to work from home, missing deadlines, working on another team's project, and a complaint about salary. The respondent is given an assessment of their score and whether it indicates micromanagement based on their selections. The overall document seems to provide a self-assessment test for micromanagers.
Quality Assurance vs. Testing
This document discusses the differences between quality assurance (QA) and software testing. It notes that QA is the process of auditing quality requirements and results from quality control measurements to ensure standards are met, while quality control is the process of monitoring and recording results from quality activities to assess performance and recommend changes. Several tools used for QA like affinity diagrams and prioritization matrices are presented. The document argues that software testers have a broader role than just testing and outlines responsibilities like requirements analysis, coding, documentation, and metrics collection that testers take on. It questions why testers are often called QA instead of testers and how testers can improve through activities like code reviewing and measuring results.
Is Java Getting Better?
The document discusses whether Java is improving. It covers various Java language features such as static, final, extends, default, interface usage, var, String methods like repeat() and strip(), switch expressions, and namespaces. The document also mentions NULL returning by default, getters and setters, and contact information for the author.
Experts vs Expertise
Yegor Bugayenko gave a presentation on experts vs expertise at GeeCON in Prague. He argued that while expertise is needed, organizations should not depend on individual experts. Instead, knowledge should be distributed and tasks broken down into smaller pieces with no code ownership to prevent silos of knowledge. This extreme approach called Zerocracy aims to maintain predictability and prevent job security from clinging to power by distributing knowledge. The presentation outlined eight principles of Zerocracy including smaller tasks, no meetings or chats, paying for results not time, and making artifacts not programmers the target of blame.
Who Cares About Quality?
This document summarizes a talk given by Yegor Bugayenko at AppsConf 2018 in Moscow, Russia about quality in software development. It discusses how quality is often compromised through technical debt, which leads to frustration among teams and increased employee turnover. It promotes establishing quality gates at each stage of development through practices like static analysis, code reviews, test coverage and read-only master branches to reject changes that do not meet quality standards. This helps prevent issues like neglect and sabotage from decreased morale. It concludes by recommending following Yegor on Twitter, buying his book, and joining the Zerocracy platform for quality-focused development.
Quantity vs. Quality
This document appears to be a transcript from a presentation by Yegor Bugayenko given at DevOpsConf 2018 in Moscow, Russia. The presentation discusses focusing on quality over quantity in software projects and implementing fear-driven development practices like rigorous testing and code reviews to motivate high-quality work. It also promotes the concepts of making small, isolated changes and experimentation to improve quality.
Experts vs Expertise
Yegor Bugayenko gave a presentation at DevOpsDays Boston about experts vs expertise. He discussed trends like the growing variety of DevOps tools, increasing data volume, and higher employee turnover rates. This leads to problems like job insecurity and silos of knowledge within organizations. Bugayenko proposes the solution of Zerocracy, which involves extreme practices like #NoMagic where technology dependencies are eliminated, #NoMeetings where work is demonstrated through artifacts not discussions, and #NoSalaries where compensation is based on results not time spent. The goal is to focus on expertise over experts by making knowledge accessible organization-wide.
Zold: a cryptocurrency without Blockchain
This document discusses Zold, a proposed cryptocurrency that does not use blockchain technology. It aims to be faster, more lightweight, and more efficient than blockchains like Bitcoin. Zold uses a novel approach called "dynamic proof-of-work" to achieve consensus without mining. This allows it to process over 1 million transactions per second using lightweight nodes while consuming far less energy than blockchains. The founder seeks feedback on this new approach to distributed trust.
Life Without Blockchain
The document discusses centralized payment systems, decentralized payment systems (cryptocurrencies), and the evolution of trust from duplication to encryption to consensus. It addresses topics like the energy consumption and costs of proof-of-work blockchains, as well as alternatives like proof-of-stake and discusses tradeoffs between cost, speed and size for different consensus mechanisms. It concludes by asking the reader's thoughts on these topics.
How to Cut Corners and Stay Cool
This document contains tweets from Yegor Bugayenko discussing ways to cut corners and stay cool as a developer. Some of the suggestions include creating tickets and waiting for code to be cleaned up before working on issues, reproducing bugs but not fixing them, disabling features that cause bugs, and saying no to taking on work. The overall messages promote writing maintainable code, catching bugs with tests, and avoiding trying to fix problems without the proper documentation, tools, or time.
Math or Love?
This document appears to be a series of tweets from Yegor Bugayenko discussing various topics related to programming such as good programmers, tools used by programmers like IDEs and Agile practices, qualities of effective teams, and the importance of socio-technical skills for working with people through code. It also includes some quotes about talented and motivated individuals, and how effective teams are more important than tools or processes alone.
Java Annotations Are a Bad Idea
This document discusses the disadvantages of using Java annotations and provides alternatives to annotations for various use cases. It argues that annotations hurt maintainability by embedding logic into code comments rather than classes. It then provides examples of how to implement caching, dependency injection, XML marshalling, HTTP endpoints, and other features without using annotations by moving the logic and configuration into dedicated classes and objects.
Make Customers Trust You
The document discusses how to build trust with customers in a software outsourcing business. It recommends using four techniques: providing metrics to give customers visibility; automating processes to give customers control; conducting independent technical reviews to assure quality; and basing compensation on deliverables rather than time spent to align financial incentives. The goal is to shift control and transparency to the customer to build their trust over the long term.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
