Thoughts on (Modern?) Software Development
Observations From a 20-Year Journey
“If someone is taking a journey, he (or she) can tell a story. Therefore, I would take my staff and hat and would choose to travel.” (Matthias Claudius, 1740-1815)
The present talk was designed with exactly this, a 1000-times-heard (and slightly updated) German proverb in the back of the head. Initially created for a student audience (“From Education to Employment: A Requirements-Set for Modern Software Developers”), it outlines what the presenter identified as relevant for a productive survival in the software development business (aka “the wild”). Category: “Possibly not so new - but subjectively noteworthy.”
So, have you ever wondered why we, as a whole community of experts, so often struggle to tame the beast called software development? The “Thoughts on (Modern?) Software Development” talk presents some possible answers to the question of why our ongoing fight is - and will very likely remain - a tough one.
