Clojure Berlin February ⛄️

Welcome to ClojureBerlin - the world's friendliest Clojure meetup! Or at least Berlin's friendliest Clojure meetup :-)

Thanks to Nebuly for hosting us this month!

This week we're very excited to host a talk by an invited speaker Dragan Stepanovic:

Async Code Reviews Are Choking Your Company’s Throughput (Dragan Stepanović)

Small pull requests (PRs) are often seen as a way to improve code review process and increase productivity, but a study of tens of thousands of PRs found that teams using small, async PRs actually had lower throughput than those using larger PRs. In this talk, we'll explore the trade-off between quality and throughput and provide rationale behind why co-creation patterns (pair and mob programming) allows teams to have both them.

Dragan is based in Berlin and as a principal engineer helps companies evolve their engineering culture, tame their bottlenecks, and maximize the throughput of the value. Typically, in search of better ways of working, exploring ends of the spectrum, and helping teams and organizations try out counter-intuitive ideas that initially don't make a lot of sense, but surprisingly end up as completely opposite of that. He enjoys endless discussions connecting XP, Theory of Constraints, Systems Thinking, Lean, and socio-emotio-technical topics.
