NE:Tech - June - With Dave Farley

This June we're very excited to bring you a talk from Dave Farley, an author, software developer and the founder of Continuous Delivery Ltd. Dave has a wealth of experience in software delivery (his videos on the Continuous Delivery YouTube channel are a testament to this) and will be joining NE:Tech to discuss how we can scale our software development.

NE:Tech will be hosted online via the attached Zoom link. Although we would like to return to face-to-face meetups, the health and safety of our members is a top priority. We are paying close attention to the government guidelines and will return to physical meetups when it is safe and sensible to do so.

A little about Dave and his talk:

Dave Farley - Consulting Software Engineer

• Scaling Up! *

As Fred Brooks so famously said in "The Mythical Man Month" "You can't make a baby in a month with 9 women" so how do we scale software development?

What does it take to build complex systems on a massive scale? What should we scale and what shouldn't we?

Spoiler, the answer is not bigger, more complex procedures and processes, stand aside SAFe! This stuff is about applying information theory and engineering principles to software development.

About Dave:
Dave Farley is co-author of the Jolt-award winning book ‘Continuous Delivery’, a regular conference speaker and blogger, one of the authors of the Reactive Manifesto and former Head of Software development at LMAX Ltd, a company that are well known for the excellence of their code and the exemplary nature of their development process. Dave is an independent software developer and consultant, and founder and director of Continuous Delivery Ltd.
