The user expérience should be what matters the most.

Les salaires de développeurs ne semblent pas avoir augmentés plus que cela. Ils ont cependant suivi l'inflation.

protip: when referring to your favourite programming language’s features, call them spells instead to sound more mysterious and cool.

They insights are awesome for all devs.

In the presence of uncertainty, acquiring information is often the best way to generate value. — Dan Milstein

1 hour of planning can save you 1000 hours of coding. 1 hour of coding can save your 1000 hours of planning. There is no science to figuring out which case you’re in. Only art. — Robert Roskam

OK a queue of tasks: tasks build a feature. In a sprint, the story points (and velocity) are replaced with tasks (or task rate).

Reacting to fast feedback is literally the point. you update the tasks with the new information. Your team can mob around the new information and add new tasks and remove tasks that no longer apply.

You get more accurate projections and estimates because you stopped estimating.

There is one way to control the flow rate from the support queue: quality control and rapid response to support issues. Higher quality control is designed to reduce the output of issues which could potentially trigger support requests. Rapid response allows you to immediately deal with any issues that quality control didn't catch but your customers did.

Do things in the most straightforward way possible.

There is no substitute for working software in Production

Relationships matter if you want to advance.

Relationships matter if you want to see your vision come to life.

Never be invisible.

Never be invisible.

Build and maintain a network of people in our field, outside the company you currently work for.

Be willing.

Chase adventure and interestingness, not salary and title.

Challenge yourself to stretch past your natural tendencies.

Understand that different social classes have different ideas about how the world works.

When you deliver work you’re really proud of, you’ve almost certainly done too much and taken too long.

The software we are building right now will one day be decommissioned and not be used anymore, probably before your career is over.

The five CUPID properties:

• Composable: plays well with others
• Unix philosophy: does one thing well
• Predictable: does what you expect
• Idiomatic: feels natural
• Domain-based: the code models the problem domain in language and structur

The split between technical and soft skills is... vague and irrelevant

How to set significant labels on a Kanban?

Ship: push the changes.
Show: merge directly after CI passes. In doing so, you’ve taken your change live quickly while still creating a space for feedback and conversation.
Ask: classic review process

I feel that junior team members are less frequently singled out for praise, as often they are working on less critical tasks, and so the impact of their work is less visible.

Sometimes the “feedback” is hearing how something you’ve built has touched someone, or made their lives better [...] it could also be simply hearing that you’ve made it easier for a person to accomplish a task that was previously difficult

Feedback from a talk is welcome because giving a talk is a solo adventure.

and about feedback in general :)

An efficient alternative to gitlab and github

Devs are expected to do everything.

The tools are more complex and it cycles every 5 years.
HTML and CSS are not enough these days to build websites in companies.

How to finish the last 10% of a project?

1. Set aside a block of time.
2. Decide upfront what you're going to work on.
3. Fight with everything to focus on that one thing.

"Just work."

Avoid the feat of finishing. It's useless. Release it.

The key point they make is that anything you do is of no value until it is in the hands of the people it is intended for.

Always ship.

“The simplicity of HTML and CSS now feels like a radical act. To build a website with just these tools is a small protest against platform capitalism: a way to assert sustainability, independence, longevity.” — Jarrett Fuller
