The document discusses concerns about the perception and realities of coding careers. It expresses worry that coding is seen solely as a way to get a job rather than as a means of problem-solving. While coding can provide fulfilling work, the document cautions that the need for coders may decrease with automation and that the role may evolve from coding to engineering. It suggests a future where machines assist with repetitive coding tasks and people focus on delivering maintainable, secure products with attention to privacy and user experience.
Christian Heilmann - Building human interfaces powered by AI - Codemotion Ber...Codemotion
We are smack in the middle of a hype about AI and whilst we wonder if a robot will take our job tomorrow or a badly configured self-driving car will run us over we're forgetting that AI can be a great way for humans to deal with machines and interfaces. Let's use Natural Language Processing to allow for clever search boxes, Artificial Vision to create automatic alternative text and facial recognition for automatic tagging and collation. The clever bits of Facebook are now available to all of us as APIs. Let's help humans embrace the revolution that is deep learning by showing them the benefits
There has been a lot of discussion during the last 50 years about the nature of programming: Is it an art like poetry? Is it craftsmanship like pottery? Is it an exact science like physics? Or a non exact science like medicine? Is it engineering like bridge building?
Whatever the nature of software development is: during this time, a lot of tools and techniques have appeared to make your lazy-developer life more difficult: Coding conventions, OOP, FP, SOLID, Design Patterns, Tests, TDD, UML, Use-cases, CASE tools, Refactoring, RUP, Agile, SCRUM, Continuous Integration, Code Complexity Metrics, Emergent Architecture, DevOps, SCM... and whatnot!
But, sometimes, being a lazy developer makes you do things that seemed counterintuitive, in order to pursue your main objective: WORK LESS.

Refactoring (the brain) for developers ;
a collection of basic ideas about how to advance in career as software engineers and how to improve our brain to support this effort
'10 Great but now Overlooked Tools' by Graham ThomasTEST Huddle
The idea for this presentation came directly from EuroSTAR 2011. Sitting on the bus back to the conference centre after attending the Gala Dinner, a discussion started, about industry luminaries who turn up at conferences and give presentations which roughly say "Don't do all the stuff that I told you to do 5 years ago! Do this stuff now." But, but, but . . . .
As we got talking I realised how many simple effective tools I no longer used, because they have either become overlooked, forgotten and thus fallen into disuse, or because modern methods claim not to need them and they are redundant. I wondered if any of them were worth looking at again - starting with my trusty flowcharting template; I realised it is a great tool which I have overlooked for far too long!
Here is my list of 10 great but now overlooked tools:
• Flowcharts
• Prototypes
• Project Plans
• Mind Maps
• Tools we already have at our disposal like ....
• Aptitude Tests
• Hexadecimal Calculators
• Desk Checking
• Data Dictionaries and Workbenches
This is my list of really useful tools that I think are overlooked. In the webinar I will outline each tool, why I think it was great, and what we are missing out by not using it.
And it naturally follows that if there are some tools we have overlooked then there are also some tools that we should get rid of! I will identify some.
Hopefully this webinar will give you a different perspective on tools to use for testing, some tools that may be improved upon or plain discarded, and help you think about the tools you currently use and maybe to view them in a different light.

Ten lessons I painfully learnt while moving from software developer to entrep...Wojciech Seliga
My presentation from InfoShare 2016 conference.
For many years I was a software developer. I would concentrate on the code, software projects and the interactions with my closes team and the users. I was sure that Agile solves all world’s problems. I would laugh over Scott Adam’s Dilbert comics with his Point Hair Boss. Life was simple, life was good. Now for 8+ years I have been running a software company, not a small one anymore. I became myself a full-time boss who only codes sometimes at home or during hackathons.
This session is about sharing with you those critical lessons which I painfully learnt when trying to grow into this new role - transitioning from being a software engineer into being an entrepreneur and top manager. Wheres not all of the lessons may or will (if you dream about your own startup) apply to your case, being aware of them may save you tons of time, energy, money or even help you to avoid the total disaster - burying your own company or dreams. And after all, sharing war stories from the past is fun … when these stories are the past.

Whether you like it or not, JavaScript is here to stay and has evolved from a fringe programming language to the most used one in our market. Its versatility both in use and in dealing with syntax are reasons why that is the case and why some people have a hard time getting their head around it. In this talk you'll learn a few tricks and ideas how you can cast aside your dislikes and worries and find a way to embrace the wild world of JavaScript.
Supercharge Your Digital Transformation by Establishing a DevOps PlatformXebiaLabs
Although DevOps practices have gained wide adoption across industries, many organizations are still failing in their digital transformation efforts because they focus on tools over people and processes. You can avoid this trap by providing DevOps as a platform that is built and maintained by experts who provide standardized tools, templates, and processes to teams across the organization—regardless of those teams’ roles within the company, the type of applications or environments they work with, or the software delivery patterns they’ve adopted.
A centralized DevOps platform allows developers to leverage predefined delivery processes, so they don’t have to reinvent the wheel to get their apps into Production. It also helps ensure the right processes are followed and the right people are involved at the right times. A DevOps platform can provide both technical users and business stakeholders with end-to-end visibility into the software delivery process—promoting information sharing and collaboration across the organization.
Learn how to successfully implement a DevOps platform in your organization, so that every team gets the tools, templates, and visibility they need to deliver software faster than ever before.

10 bezcennych lekcji dla software developera stającego się szefem firmyWojciech Seliga
[Originally Polish lecture with English slides - with a few exceptions]
Przez wiele lat byłem software developerem. Koncentrowałem się na kodzie, projektach software'owych oraz interakcjach w moim zespole i z klientami. Byłem pewny, że Agile rozwiązuje wszystkie problemy tego świata. Śmiałem się z komiksów Scotta Adamsa i stworzonej przez niego karykatury szefa (PHB). Życie było proste i piękne...
Teraz od ponad 8 lat prowadzę firmę software'ową, którą przy blisko 90 osobach trudno już nazwać maleństwem. Sam stałem się "szefem" na pełen etat.
Podczas prezentacji podzielę się z Wami różnymi doświadczeniami oraz naukami (nieraz bolesnymi) jakie wyniosłem w ostatnich latach podczas mojej stopniowej przemiany z developera/inżyniera w przedsiębiorcę i szefa firmy. O ile zapewne nie wszystkie sytuacje i wnioski mają lub mogą mieć (o ile marzysz o własnym startupie czy zespole) zastosowanie w Twoim życiu, same sobie ich uświadomienie może oszczędzić Ci w przyszłości straty mnóstwa czasu, energii i pieniędzy oraz uniknąć przykrych rozczarowań.
Traversing hyper driven developpement to do great technical choices and make ...Quentin Adam
On this era of industrial changes, we all know that software is eating the world, and the world is small, or at least, not so big. So how to manage to make great technical choices on this era where giants apply the marketing of the Shame on us? How do we keep best developper in our organisation when it's a furious competition on hiring out there? More important, how do we make sure people we work with are both happy and productive? Beyond marketing, we will try to figure out how we do to compete and create value for us and our users.
Slides from my DevOpsExpo London talk "From oops to NoOps".
They tell you in these conferences that DevOps is not about tools, but about culture. And they are partially right. I am going to tell you that it’s not only about culture or tools but also abstractions.
It is a lot about how you see software and its value. About our mental model of what software is: how it runs, evolves, and interacts with the other facets of an enterprise.
We used to view software as code. As a state of code. Now we think about software as change, as a flow. A dynamic system where people, machines, and processes interact continuously.
At Platform.sh we spend a bunch of time asking ourselves not “How do you build?” - or even “How do you build consistently?” - but rather “What does it mean to consistently build in a world where change is good?” A world that lets you push security fixes into production as soon as they’re available because you don’t want to be an Equifax but you do want stability.
In this presentation, I will go over what we think software is and why having the right ideas about software will help you get your culture right and your tooling aligned, as well as gain in productivity, and general happiness and well-being.
I, project manager, The rise of artificial intelligence in the world of proje...PMILebanonChapter
Mr. Hani Hmede delivered a lecture with PMI Lebanon Chapter in December 2019 about: I, the project manager - the rise of artificial intelligence in the world of project management.
When going into the development of a software product, a possible source of mistake is the incorrect evaluation of the complexity that lies behind an idea , as well as a clutter coming from the massive amounts of technologies enabled. This presentation explains a possible way to deal with such issues.
We are obsessed with coding and creating automated workflows and optimisations. And yet our final products aren't making it easy for people to use them. Somewhere, we lost empathy for our end users and other developers. Maybe it is time to change that. Here are some ideas.
PWA are a hot topic and it is important to understand that they are a different approach to apps than the traditional way of packaging something and letting the user install it. In this keynote you'll see some of the differences.
“If Tetris has taught me anything, it’s that errors pile up and accomplishments disappear” is a common quote and it seems we’re living this to its full extend as web developers. We fail to celebrate the successes we have and the tools that are at our disposal but we’re never short of finding reasons why things don’t work. We also tend to pile on technology on technology to solve problems that may actually not exist and thus clog up the web. In this talk Chris Heilmann wants to remind us what we achieved and how we should celebrate it and how we should stop trying to solve problems that are simply beyond our control.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
How to Split Bills in the Odoo 17 POS ModuleCeline George
Bills have a main role in point of sale procedure. It will help to track sales, handling payments and giving receipts to customers. Bill splitting also has an important role in POS. For example, If some friends come together for dinner and if they want to divide the bill then it is possible by POS bill splitting. This slide will show how to split bills in odoo 17 POS.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

6. I am worried about
the perception of
coding…
▪ Worry: automation will take away
human jobs
▪ Misconception: this is a bad thing,
not a sensible evolutionary step
towards a better society
▪ Knee-jerk reaction: everybody
needs to learn to code.
7. I am worried about
the perception of
coding…
▪ Huge misconception: everybody
who learns to code will have a
great, fulfilling job.
▪ Danger: people who just learned to
code will immediately build
products
▪ Arrogant assumption: what we call
coding now can never be
automated.
12. ▪ It is great that we have so much
enthusiasm for coding
▪ It is less exciting that it isn’t about
creating things and finding
solutions, but landing a job
▪ It is questionable if the need we
have now for coders will stay in the
very near future
▪ We’re not exempt of automation
▪ Maybe our work is following similar
paths that any other work does
<3 enthusiasm for
our work
15. A smorgasbord of
offerings…
▪ Communication channels (Twitter,
Slack, Mastodon, IRC)
▪ Events/Meetups
▪ Video recordings of events
▪ Online training resources (Khan
Academy, Skillshare, Pluralsight,
Lynda.com…)
▪ Live and collaborative coding
environments (Twitch etc…)
▪ Open and extensible development
environments that teach good code
while you use them.
16. Peer pressure to
keep things light
and easy
▪ It is frowned upon to point out
problems to newcomers
▪ We don’t want to hear about
problems of the past that don’t
apply today
▪ A lot of best practices of the past
work towards a world of longevity
▪ But we’re OK to use and discard
software products like physical ones
17. We are not
“independent”
coders…
▪ It is tempting to repeat things the
community says to fit in.
▪ It is easy to apply what is touted as
great without considering the
effects – as you don’t know them.
▪ You create a lot in a short amount
of time with abstractions you have
no clue about.
▪ We have a high dependency on
tools and resources
▪ Shortcuts are tempting and feel like
innovation
19. Coding in
production
environments…
▪ End users are slow to upgrade and
do random things.
▪ Your code is an attack vector for
the bad guys
▪ There is no truth in “we will fix it
later, let’s just finish this sprint” - yet
it is very common
20. Coding in
production
environments…
▪ Legacy code is no myth – it is a
time-sink nobody wants to take on
▪ Innovation happens often only on
the sly – asking for forgiveness is
easier than asking for permission
▪ Nothing acts like your local
machine or the perfect setup of the
teaching environment
21. Being a coder isn’t
all about your
coding skills
▪ It is not uncommon to be praised
for things you consider terrible
▪ Your enthusiasm can be a bad
guide when it comes to giving time
estimates
▪ Being a magical, fast problem
solver can put you on the spot
when things go wrong
▪ Being able to fix issues way down
the line will be a very important
thing – we build vulnerable systems

Act Three:
Focusing on
outcomes
24. Software is a part of
day-to-day life and
needs fast delivery
25. Reusing components
creates predictable
outcomes
▪ Instead of knowing how to code
from scratch, it will become
increasingly important to know
what components to use
▪ Reusing code, frameworks and
libraries allows us to fix
performance, security and
compatibility issues in a central spot
▪ If we’re honest, this has happened
in production a long time ago and
a lot less innovative than we’d like it
to be.
26. From coder to
engineer
▪ Fast-paced products with a short
lifetime are easier to deliver when
you use already existing
components
▪ This means your skillset isn’t as
much about the underlying code,
but about what is good to use
▪ Vetting and creating reusable
components and solutions are skills
that will allow for secure and fast
turnaround
▪ This is less exciting than being a
“code warrior” or “ninja unicorn”
27. It may be the warriors
who get the glory. But
it's the engineers who
build societies.

31. We built an initial prototype using about a dozen hand-drawn
components as training data, open source machine learning
algorithms, and a small amount of intermediary code to render
components from our design system into the browser. We were
pleasantly surprised with the result:

33. I look forward to
machines doing
repetitive code
▪ Maybe this is a good time to realise
that the CLI isn’t in 2018 what
should demand our attention
▪ Maybe it is time we concentrate on
delivering maintainable, secure
products that pay attention to our
end user’s privacy
▪ Maybe we need a different outlet
for our ego and realise that we
deliver services to the world, not
replace it.
▪ There is no Earth B and we can’t
fork humankind.
34. This is a good time
to be a great
example…
▪ We’re not in a good spot when it
comes to work/life separation
▪ There is a lot of demand to be like
us – as there are jobs for us
▪ It is up to us to build a healthy,
friendly and rewarding work
environment for future generations
and sideways job starters
▪ Our products aren’t niche any
more, life now depends on them
