Your responsibility to work toward this change also increases dramatically with your privilege. Nicole talks through some concrete ways to magnify the change you effect in your work while doing things you already do anyway.
We need to start investing much more in migrating to better programming languages, building better tooling, and authoring new frameworks where correctness is built in. What does that look like for your engineering organization today?
In the dynamic landscape of software engineering, there's a pervasive allure to what Randall calls "Generic Goodstuff™" - universally lauded practices that seem like silver bullets to team improvement.
In this session Amy will talk about her experiences as a change agent and what she learned about how to do it sustainably, even when the change ahead is drastic.
