RailsConf 2019: What I learned my first year as a full-time programmer

•

0 gefällt mir•383 views

The document summarizes what the author learned in their first year as a full-time programmer. Some of the key lessons included that programmers are not necessarily the most important people on a tech team, and that qualities like collaboration, quality work, and avoiding "rockstar" behaviors are more important for success than being a highly skilled coder. The author advocates learning where one's strengths lie to best contribute, such as through documentation, code reviews, or testing. Asking for help from others and tracking one's own growth through blogging or public speaking are also recommended. Diversity, inclusion, and avoiding tokenism are important both for the team and for building products for diverse users.

They’re bad for business.
✖ Overconﬁdent
✖ More likely to break
rules
✖ More productive, but
lower quality work
✖ Negative behavior is
infectious
Forget rockstar-ninja-10x coders1
What actually brings success?
★ Don’t go rogue
★ Slow and steady
★ Collaborative, not
competitive

Innovation, innovation, innovation. It is all you hear in meetings and all you read in business books and magazines. The confusing aspect behind all of this hype is that we rarely put thought into how we design environments so that innovation can emerge. In this free 45 minute webinar, David J Bland a Principal Advisor at Neo San Francisco, will guide you through how corporations are funding, measuring and organizing for disruptive innovation. How should I fund innovation? The pros and cons of horizon planning and incremental funding. How do I measure innovation? Hint, it is not ROI. We'll cover the ins and outs of innovation accounting. How will the teams organize for innovation? What are the working agreements between the team and leadership? What ceremonies should we have? You'll leave this session with actionable advice on how you, as a leader, can effectively organize so that innovation will emerge within your corporation.

As we enter this new era of a trust based economy, our organizations and leadership styles are becoming woefully outdated. No longer is it sufficient to scale an organization on the shoulders of a heroic leader who has all of the answers and vision. Managers are inadvertently slowing product development down to a crawl, mostly by replacing trust with process. Soon, not only will your organization be unable to scale, but it won't be able to do anything quickly. In this webinar David J Bland will explain how today's leaders are engineering for trust and embracing a new, antiheroic leadership style. You'll leave this session with actionable advice on how you can effectively engineer and cultivate trust into your growing organization.

Lean Startup is bridging the gap between Design Thinking and Agile. While teams are embracing experimentation, it is important that your teams don't waste all of their time running experiments on unimportant and known aspects of your product. Assumptions Mapping is an exercise that gives you the power to facilitate a conversation with your team and enable them to focus on what matters. If you find yourself in an organization trying to adapt to conditions of extreme uncertainty, this workshop gives you actionable tools and advice that you can take back to your teams and apply right away.

What’s the most powerful practice in Agile? My candidate: a team-crafted, team-owned definition of done. Our research findings: product teams are most effective when they have a definition of done defined by the team itself collaboratively. Might the practice of crafting a definition of done – before writing a single line of code – be the most powerful practice in Agile? Or does having a definition of done matter? What is the correlation between Definitions of Done and high performance teams? Thousands of people on product teams all over the world respond to our survey for the Study of Product Team Performance. We asked them. Here's what the data shows. Presented November 2018 to the Silicon Valley Engineering Leadership Community, and January 2017 to the Silicon Valley Agile Trends & Leadership. Speaker: Ron Lichty In addition to training teams in agile, Ron Lichty has spent years coaching managers about how their roles change with agile. While his recent Addison Wesley book, Managing the Unmanageable: Rules, Tools, and Insights for Managing Software People and Teams (http://www.ManagingTheUnmanageable.net) didn’t zero in on agile, both the book and the classes that he and his coauthor give current and prospective managers espouse a deeply agile mindset for managers. He also coauthors the annual Study of Product Team Performance (http://www.ronlichty.com/study.html). The primary focus of his consulting practice, these last five years, has mirrored what he did as a manager: untangling the knots in software development. His career has spanned web applications, system software, entertainment, shrinkwrap products, ecommerce, interface development, embedded devices, professional services and IT - and grew from first level managing to VP Engineering, VP Product and CTO roles. As Ron Lichty Consulting, he takes on fractional Interim VP Engineering roles, trains teams in scrum, transitions teams to agile, trains managers in managing software people and teams, and advises organizations to make their software development “hum.” http://www.ronlichty.com Managing the Unmanageable was recently released as video training - LiveLessons: Managing Software People and Teams - both from Pearson and on O’Reilly’s Safari Network (http://www.ManagingTheUnmanageable.net/video.html).

So often in digital projects, we push content to the bottom of the pile, or the end of the timeline. As we evolve our strategies, we’re learning that content really needs to come first. Ahava will show you how to avoid this problem and plan your content for success. Using case studies from a major university, a children’s hospital and a major publishing company, you will learn how to set up your digital projects, so that content is a major consideration and doesn’t destroy your project at the last minute.

More and more people are entering the tech sector without tech-specific work experience, and/or with non-technical degrees (if they went to college at all). While many tech giants still require or heavily favor candidates with a computer science background for technical roles, other companies are recognizing the value of staff with diverse experiences and educational history. As a journalist-bartender-turned-developer, I’m constantly finding ways that my “useless” liberal arts background and years spent slinging pints of beer have, in fact, prepared me for a successful career in tech. For those in tech with non-tech backgrounds, as well as the folks who do the hiring at tech companies, we’ll discuss the myriad – and often hidden – skills that non-CS grads can bring to the table, and how they’re broadly applicable to tech-focused jobs.

Most management methods in use today have been around for more than fifty years. During that time, the work has changed dramatically and so have the types of workers. The new ways of working that have emerged do not align well with the old ways of managing. In the 21st century, management must change to accommodate these new realities. Radical management involves changing the focus from stakeholders to customers, from controlling to enabling, from coordination to linking, from efficiency to improvement, and from telling to communicating. Radical management changes the culture of an organization by focusing on what truly drives long-term bottom line success. Bob Hartman shares an in-depth look at both the problems and solutions. Learn how to change from traditional management to radical management and develop a culture ready for business at the speed of the 21st century.

My presentation from Devoxx Poland 2016 conference - the newest, slightly revised version. 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.

Getting stakeholders to think in customer centric manner is relatively straightforward, yet often yields little in terms of actual change. This requires more than stakeholder support - it requires commitment, trust, and active participation in a process that can be unfamiliar or even frightening in a corporate environment. Workshops provide an opportunity to challenge the worldview of your stakeholders and expose them to the truths of customer behaviour. It’s an opportunity to transform them from supporters to believers by creating an environment where they can experience the magic of a user-centred collaborative process.

The ninth principle from the Agile Manifesto states that technical excellence enhances agility, but when the codebase is ugly and the deadlines are tight, most teams don’t choose to refactor mercilessly, adopt TDD, or evaluate automated testing tools—unless they have the proper support. In our experience working with multiple teams in a single codebase, developers can feel victim to a legacy codebase if only a few people are writing clean code or refactoring; guiding them on how to decrease technical debt while delivering their projects helps "unstuck" their other agile practices. We will talk about the challenges we’ve seen with Product Owners, Managers, and Scrum Masters interacting with teams at various stages of agile+technical excellence and how a focus on technical practices sparked a wider interest in craftsmanship. Learn how can you influence the team towards the right practices while fostering their sense of ownership. Getting serious about technical excellence requires support from technical and non-technical roles, and we’ll share how we partnered as coaches to help an organization through a technical turnaround with some tips for others who need to do the same.

Modern humans aren’t great at risk assessment. We often blithely ignore that which could harm us, and are conversely intimidated by things that are quite safe. This inability to recognize threat has vast implications for many aspects of our lives, including our careers. Do you want to be less stressed? Make better decisions? Learn strategies for identifying (and dealing with!) unnecessary worry? Let's explore the root causes of fear and anxiety together, and discover how we can start to deliberately rewrite our instincts.

Modern humans aren't great at risk assessment. We often blithely ignore things that could harm us, and are intimidated instead by things that are factually quite safe. This has vast implications for all aspects of our lives, including our careers. In this talk, we'll explore root causes of fear and anxiety, and discover how we can work to deliberately rewrite our "instincts", redirect our worry toward what actually matters, and channel it into productive outcomes that make us safer, happier and less stressed.

Want to make an impact in your community, but don’t know how, or feel like you don’t have time? You’re not alone. Luckily, there are a number of ways you can use your tech-industry skills to create positive change in your community - and yourself! (Fun fact: volunteers live longer and make more money than those who don’t volunteer.) In this talk, I explore at the why’s, the how’s, and the where’s for sharing our skills. You’ll learn more about the breadth of ways to give back - both technical and non-technical - and hopefully leave feeling empowered to reach out in your own community and start making connections.

Steve Jobs. Linus Torvalds. Alan Turing. Been there, done that. The interesting stories often aren’t the ones we grew up with; they’re the ones we’ve left behind. When it comes to tech, that means its women, and especially its women of color. And while there’s been a greater emphasis lately on rediscovering women’s contributions to technology, we need to expand our focus beyond just Grace Hopper and Ada Lovelace. From Radia Perlman to Sophie Wilson to Erica Baker, let's explore both tech’s forgotten heroes and its modern-day pioneers, and help end the silent erasure of women in technology.

To craft well-designed websites, you have to know 50 names for “blue” and the difference between a font and a typeface. You probably have a degree in illustration or graphic design, or maybe you attended some hip code school in Oakland and call yourself a User Experience Architect. Right? Nope! In fact, there are numerous small, simple and practical ways to vastly improve the look and usability of a website, no matter how creative you are(n’t). In this talk, we’ll explore ten of them together, and see how the impact as a whole for both clients and users is greater than the sum of its parts. Make your websites more attractive, easier to use and better designed without feeling like you’re wasting your time or effort.

With more memory available, system performance of three Dell devices increased, which can translate to a better user experience Conclusion When your system has plenty of RAM to meet your needs, you can efficiently access the applications and data you need to finish projects and to-do lists without sacrificing time and focus. Our test results show that with more memory available, three Dell PCs delivered better performance and took less time to complete the Procyon Office Productivity benchmark. These advantages translate to users being able to complete workflows more quickly and multitask more easily. Whether you need the mobility of the Latitude 5440, the creative capabilities of the Precision 3470, or the high performance of the OptiPlex Tower Plus 7010, configuring your system with more RAM can help keep processes running smoothly, enabling you to do more without compromising performance.

What is a good lead in your organisation? Which leads are priority? What happens to leads? When sales and marketing give different answers to these questions, or perhaps aren't sure of the answers at all, frustrations build and opportunities are left on the table. Join us for an illuminating session with Cian McLoughlin, HubSpot Principal Customer Success Manager, as we look at that crucial piece of the customer journey in which leads are transferred from marketing to sales.

Created by Mozilla Research in 2012 and now part of Linux Foundation Europe, the Servo project is an experimental rendering engine written in Rust. It combines memory safety and concurrency to create an independent, modular, and embeddable rendering engine that adheres to web standards. Stewardship of Servo moved from Mozilla Research to the Linux Foundation in 2020, where its mission remains unchanged. After some slow years, in 2023 there has been renewed activity on the project, with a roadmap now focused on improving the engine’s CSS 2 conformance, exploring Android support, and making Servo a practical embeddable rendering engine. In this presentation, Rakhi Sharma reviews the status of the project, our recent developments in 2023, our collaboration with Tauri to make Servo an easy-to-use embeddable rendering engine, and our plans for the future to make Servo an alternative web rendering engine for the embedded devices industry.
