Trunk-Based Development - a fireside chat with Paul Hammant and Thierry de Pauw

Thierry and Paul will be hosting an informal chat for attendees at Hymans Robertson's Edinburgh Office. Fans of Trunk-Based Development (TBD) would come and vote on suggested topics that are up for discussion and participate in the discussion.

Paul has been talking and blogging about TBD for 15 years, has experienced immense monorepos, runs https://TrunkBasedDevelopment.com and has a book out of the same name.

Thierry has a famous talk "Feature Branching Considered Evil" that fills each room he presents in, and his own materials on TBD - https://thinkinglabs.io.

Topics: TBD, GitHub-Flow, monorepos, modern build technologies, high-throughput realities, CI, CD, branch by abstraction, feature flags/toggles, test pyramid, speedy test automation strategies, service virtualization, application strangulation and more

"Be nice" is the placeholder code of conduct for now - enumerated replacement to come.

7 pm is kick off, social chit chat for the 30 mins before that. We will record audio for the event and get that out as a podcast if you can't make it.
