Abstract #1:
The Power of Event Storming: From a Pile of Sticky Notes to a Domain-Driven Design Microservices Architecture by Benjamin Nothdurft

One of the main challenges each company faces is to come up with processes that create business value and a revenue stream for its employees. In the past many technical approaches often have led to expensive trial and error efforts including rewriting existing code bases.

Meet Event Storming.

Abstract #2:
We, as an industry, are constantly doing many mistakes that prevent us from doing a good job. We overestimate the importance of certain things while, at the same time, we ignore far more important topics. After making my share of errors I want to share them with you so that we can all learn from them. It's a talk I wish someone made for me all those 15 years ago when I was starting a software development career.
