Fireside chat on Addressing Escalating Risks in our Code Base with Jessica Kerr and Chelsea Troy

When we rush development, skip tests and refactoring, and fail to document our code, we get escalating risk. How can we measure that risk? What could we do to avoid the risk? How can we communicate the risk to people who depend on our tech team? And once we already have escalated risk, how do we reduce it?

This session will function like a conversation, and we'll discuss the aforementioned questions.

Designing change

The journey of a software developer is a climb through abstraction: algorithms, patterns, architecture....

How do we keep expanding scope, without losing focus on the real work?

Join us for a journey into the fourth dimension, where we don't just change code; we design change.
