In this talk, we'll take a detailed, granular look at the barriers to
11+
productivity faced by developers today, and modern approaches for removing
12+
them. 10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as
13+
proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, 'The Coding War Games.'
14+
15+
Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another
16+
Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer
17+
experience. It seems that with every new method we invent for the delivery of
18+
products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to
19+
go alongside them.
20+
21+
But which of these approaches actually work? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we
22+
invest in and create urgency behind today, so that we don't find ourselves
23+
having the same discussion again in a decade?

The tech industry loves its buzzwords—Agile! DevOps! CI/CD! AI! But let's be
11+
honest: behind the jargon is a treasure trove of mistakes, missteps, and
12+
"lessons learned the hard way." In this tongue-in-cheek yet thought-provoking
13+
session, we'll take a lighthearted look at the quirks of the industry, roast
14+
some common tech tropes, and dive into how we can actually do better.
15+
16+
This session isn't about throwing shade for fun (okay, maybe just a little).
17+
It's about leveraging humor and real talk to spotlight the blind spots holding
18+
us back and turning them into opportunities for growth. Whether it's the
19+
over-engineered solutions nobody asked for, Agile transformations that skipped
20+
the people part, or AI projects that forgot to ask, "What's the problem we're
21+
solving?"—we've all been there.
22+
23+
Expect some laughs, a few left-handed compliments, and plenty of actionable
24+
insights on building human-centered, tech-savvy solutions that bridge the gap
25+
between what we say we value and what we actually deliver.
