Stop Punching Yourself in the Face

GOTOpia November 2020

Making choices is hard. As developers, we make choices all the time: architectures, frameworks, libraries, cloud providers, etc. So, if you have been around for a while, you probably ended up regretting at least some of those choices.

In this talk, you will learn how to make choices responsibly and what to look out for if you want to minimize the chance of regretting them later. I dive into several situations where the choices we made as a team have gone horribly wrong. Luckily, I learned these lessons the hard way, so you don’t have to!

Now, if only there was a way to prove your newly acquired skills to your peers and superiors. Well, there is: RAD Certification! I will conclude my talk by telling you about this. And as a bonus, if you get certified during the conference, you can score your RAD certificate and corresponding swag!
