-Simplicity often takes a back seat in software engineering. Yet, it's absolutely key for creating durable and efficient systems.
-
-Crafting simple software is hard and takes lots of efforts. It's about setting a high bar and persisting until the simplest solution emerges, which you can often tell by its beauty and efficiency.
-
-This talk is based on more than twenty five years of software engineering experience, where the goal of essential simplicity has been reached in a few key projects. Digital audio recording, weather data management, interactive video kiosks, web app frameworks, the domains in which this happened are varied but a set of patterns emerges, that allowed us to reach high goals in terms of simplicity and efficiency in these projects.

 There's no magic formula for simplicity, but our real-world examples will help you discover principles and a philosophy of simplicity that will help on your own journey.

-What’s the best way to ensure your product truly delivers? Use it yourself. “Eating your own dog food” is more than just a quirky phrase—it’s a practice my team and I embrace every day.

 In this talk we’ll discuss how an internal platform can help you to effectively model the “new” responsibility split between developers and a platform team. We’ll talk about why developers as the internal “customers” of such platforms play a crucial role for its successful implementation and reveal typical pitfalls you should prevent on your road to a fully automated self-service developer experience.

-More than 10 years into the DevOps movement, by now we know that it’s not just a job. We know the truth about DevOps (do we?) and understand that in principle there is not such a thing as a DevOps Engineer or a DevOps Team. Yet, our industry needed to find a label, a way to name the new role which Sysadmins or Developers were further growing into.
-Today, job ads for "DevOps Engineers" are everywhere, with diverse descriptions. I went through the hiring process for such a position in my team last year, and after interviewing a decent amount of candidates I started reflecting: How is this role going to evolve in the future? What about the next generation of “DevOps Engineers”? How do we get them “fresh” out of university”? How does someone come to the idea of starting their career in this field at all?

 In this talk, I’ll go over examples of simple changes causing large scale unintended consequences, explain how to recognize when your actions could impact more than you wish for, share techniques for anticipating ripple effects so you can use them to your advantage, and help you become more adept at reasoning about complex systems.
