Evolving at the Speed of Ideas: Reverse SWOT and Frontend-Backend Synergy

This event is a food bank drive! Bring food donations going to Feed More for families in need this Thanksgiving!

Moving fast without breaking things requires two things working together: a clear framework for decisions and real collaboration between teams. This talk explores Reverse SWOT analysis—understanding Threats and Opportunities first, then addressing Weaknesses and leveraging Strengths—alongside the practical synergy between backend and frontend engineers. Together, these approaches create systems that can evolve rapidly. We'll cover the Open-Closed Principle, simple APIs, DRY code, comprehensive testing, and storing frontend documentation in backend repositories. When you combine intentional decision-making with genuine team alignment, AI-enhanced development tools become force multipliers instead of shortcuts.
