Your Software As A Garden: Building Systems That Don't Rot

Shai Yallin is going to share his vast experience with a challenge every developer and every company faces constantly - Creating software that doesn't rot.

Agenda:
16:45 Online gathering and networking
17:00 "Your Software As A Garden: Building Systems That Don't Rot" by
Shai Yallin
18:00 Questions

Brief:
Advocates of TDD often refer to Emergent Design as the holy grail - allowing design to emerge via small cycles of test-code-refactor is an excellent way to yield a lean, simple system that is adaptive to changes - thus being maintainable over time. But what do we do when reality forces us to adhere to some (Big Bad) Upfront Design?

For years, I thought the two are incompatible, but when forced with hard requirements I had to adapt, and accidentally stumbled upon an excellent way to combine the two, allowing us to quickly grow a team and parallelize work early and efficiently.

This talk is a case study of how we did that.
