Canada on Rails: Alex Bunardzic - Less Technology -- Reclaiming the Software Development Craft, One Scaffold at a Time

just starting out…. title sounds interesting

after this I don’t know what to do… really tired but I’d love to look around. On the other hand sushi and sleep sounds very nice now

• taking the lighter dept. No more code snippets tonight.
• I’m an artist my whole life. (shows drawing of his grandmother)
• Zen teacher
• I am clueless. The more I learn the less I know. Beginners mind has endless possibility. Experts mind is full of crap.
• Clueless = going with the flow
• pre-emptive lets go of the assumptions
• focus on the language
• carpenters vs. luthiers (instrument builders)
• the “less code” movement

Update: I didn’t get the sense that anyone liked this talk much
