#FooConf, November 7th, Helsinki, Finland has CfP open: https://sessionize.com/fooconf/

Very excited to have a dev community event in my own neighborhood, and the people I got to know of from the organizers of the inaugural one. Hope to see you there - as speakers, participants, whatever.

I had a lovely conversation at #FooConf with Melissa McKay for #DevOpsSpeakEasy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_buivBsikk

Had one of those community discovery conversations yesterday at #FooConf. It is hard to find developers for an event in Finland, and meetup.com as approximation isn't good enough but it is generally the best we got. Non-profits like #Tivia not on meetup.com lose out a lot on discoverability.

Back from an excellent #FooConf. Thanks to organizers – and also Qalmari & Vaadin for organizing the bus trip!#

‘We have guardrails. You can’t make any mistakes. You don’t need tests’. Yep, not something that should go though to architects, developers and testers as a promise on a technology. #FooConf

Most developers don’t have ten years of experience, they have one year ten times. #FooConf

Nathaniel Schutta going through ’architecture as a service’ and the service appears to be reminding that solid technologies that have been around long enough to be tested and fixed seem like a smart move. #FooConf

“It's called the bleeding edge not the everything works perfectly edge”

Updated #FooConf presentation to slide deck: https://speakerdeck.com/maaretp/talk-lets-do-a-thing-and-call-it-foo-2023-ed If we called the thing we do foo we could find better ways of describing what we do. We should name things after we learned what they are and assume that instead of better definition we need more descriptive words and show-and-tell to transfer learning. So a specific style of #UnitExploratoryTesting can be foo while we do it.

So I am at #fooconf Helsinki, and I am slightly befuddled by all the examples being in Java, and at the same time Oracle pulls this off to make Java even more undesirable…

A quote from #fooconf

77 % of production failures can be reproduced by a unit test.

Why it’s a good idea to go to conferences. (And to remember to tinker afterwards.) A brilliant keynote by @TCoolsIT at #FooConf

Tom Cools starts #fooconf with claim that IT knowledge half life is 2-5 years. This does feel like half life of specific tools and APIs, but yet there’s plenty of things that seem to serve us slightly better.
