Platform Strategies - Business Value Increased Exponentially

Platform Strategies - Business Value Increased Exponentially
Sustainability by Design An application, IT system or website is considered DIRTY if sustainability has not been taken into consideration when building and running them. To lower the climate footprint from data and IT systems, we need to empower the ones creating these systems: the software developers.
Investing in the Next Generation of Tech Talent South Africa has the highest level of inequality in the world. At WeThinkCode, we encourage young innovators to believe in the possibility that a line of code can make theirs a more egalitarian society. In this talk, I reflect on building a training academy that celebrates diversity and inclusion to create maximum value. By training young South Africans as software developers, we are maximising the value of our country's human capital and unlocking the innovative capacity of the next generation of geeks.
Maximizing Value by Minimizing Repeated Failure Feedback loops are an essential part of software development. Or, at least, they should be. As a consultant, I always try to optimize the feedback loops; between stakeholders and team, between team and management, between different teams and within the team itself. Listen to this talk about how to fix the loops that turn out not to be loops but just half circles with arrows.
Emerging industry and technologies of power There is little doubt that geopolitics is tightening its grip on international business and R&D. In this talk, Henric will give a deeper understanding of what trends and insights companies and universities should take home in a world with global competition.

Ye Cannae Change the Laws of Physics Software is executable fiction. Software development is about constructing narratives, drawing from a broad palette of paradigms and technologies, married to our understanding of the needs and wants for a system. Abstraction allows us to simplify and reify the complexity of the world into a formal description that we continually update. Abstraction allows us to ignore things about the world and about computer systems that are irrelevant or inconvenient. But there are limits to the enchantment of code and our ability to maintain illusions. When the rubber hits the road and the packet hits the network we find universal limits are there to keep it real. Nothing can be instantaneous or infinite. Not all computations can be reversed. Not everything is computable. Not everything can be known. Every computation costs time and energy. In this talk we'll explore the metaphors and realities of the physical world and how they play out in our software systems. About Kevlin Kevlin is an independent consultant, trainer, speaker and writer. His development interests and work with companies cover programming, practice and people. He has contributed to open- and closed-source codebases, been a columnist for a number of magazines and sites, and been on far too many committees (it has been said that "a committee is a cul-de-sac down which ideas are lured and then quietly strangled"). Kevlin is also co-author of two volumes in the Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture series, editor of 97 Things Every Programmer Should Know, and co-editor of 97 Things Every Java Programmer Should Know.
