Presentation: Party Keynote: Cool Code

Time: Monday 17:00 - 17:50 / Location: To be announced

"In most disciplines built on skill and knowledge, from art to architecture, from creative writing to structural engineering, there is a strong emphasis on studying existing work. Exemplary pieces from past and present are examined and discussed in order to provoke thinking and learn techniques for the present and the future. Although programming is a discipline with a very large canon of existing work to draw from, the only code most programmers read is the code they maintain. They rarely look outside the code directly affecting their work. This talk examines some examples of code that are interesting because of historical significance, profound concepts, impressive technique, exemplary style or just sheer geekiness."

What would your day look like if there were no meetings with managers? Or no meetings with business analysts? Or no bug databases to review with quality assurance? Then throw away Iteration Planning Meetings and Stand-ups. How about being able to grab a colleague to help you for a half-day or day without entering into a length negotiation? Then you would probably be able to develop cool systems full-time. We are living in that world right now!
