one of the best OO design

not there anymore

 

 

programming by difference

incrementally defining a new object by an old one

 

 

Engaging end users through their mental models

one model: representation in the machine of a model that is in the mind of the end user

goal: engage the person with the software so the 2 together become one mind

not interface and pluggable

based on

psychology research by pappart

inspired by

learning theory by p h a

fast

does not appear in agile

roots TPS

careful decisions made with long deliberation

"defer decisions to last responsible moment"

-> Agile WRONG

opposite of what lean ppl mean

lean: 'last responsible moment'

after which your ability to affect an outcome is taken away

pull those as early as possible

high risk decisions first

don't defer

 

 

mental model

behavioral psychologists

soliciting end user mental model

patterns:

quality without a name

just feels right

 

 

no description for image available

purpose of daily scrum

NOT communicate impediments

NOT share the goal

NOT info sharing

= replan of your weekly planning

= mini spring planning

 

 

what % should fail?

50%

fail more? you suck

fail less? cooking the books, hiding stuff

 

 

bug tracking?

fix now!

 

 

interface with other scrum teams?

no platforms

 

 

no handoffs in scum

organizational learning

NOT rebuilt team every time

stable teams have value

UX knowledge

tease out mental models

people part is hard part

tech is easy, spend 2 weeks

 

 

balance process & product focus

1970-1970 too much process

too focused on product

learning

improvement

balance

scrum is one framework which offers this

scrum is a passing way, learning tool

 

 

 

 

accountability is important

PO is accountable

QA

What about integration testing?

do it, about 90% of testing i'm doing

most important is usability testing

end user testing is all that matters

 

 

Class is bad, Object good?

class will not support the use case

also needs UC

 

 

Books about design?

design after modernism by john tecuira

...

Opinion on software craftsmanship movement?

some level, right focus

NOT engineering

NOT science

= craft

profesionalism has higher bar than the crap Bob talks about

This presentation was recorded at GOTO Berlin 2017

James Coplien - Gertrud & Cope ABSTRACT It can easily be argued that agile grew out of the spirit of object orientation: its focus on change, on anthropomorphism, and on people. Alan Kay saw objects as a way for people to connect with their environments through their machines. As late as the 1980s people were still talking about anthropomorphic [...] Download slides and read the full abstract here:

| This talk caught me off guard. Information dense, authoritative, unique point of view derived from experiences my generation missed. We were given tools and told to use them, very little on why.

| i have noticed that all the famous US IT professionals give presentations in Europe nowadays. In the US we have basically given away most of our development to India. It was about cheap labor costs. Sara Blackwell said she went to a offshoring/outsourcing conference. She was told that people in Europe and Australia and Canada would never allow this.

| As c++ better then java, diamond inheritance problem, memory leakage. TDD is not a technique to know what your code doing, it is a technique to make sure that side effects wont appear if you write code on large projects and that at any point you can refactor it to the requirement of the client.
