Our QCon London 2024 Wednesday evening keynote speaker @andypiper built a Fediwall to track #qcon#qconlondon conversations in one place. Follow the conversation at andypiper.url.lol/qcon2024
came in a little late for the 2nd day of #QCon and found the keynote packed with people, no chance to find a seat. More than 1000 people listening to @tianijones fascinating talk about #leadership and measuring effect.
I've been so busy writing this talk (and doing everything else!) that I've almost entirely forgotten to tell anyone I'm even giving it 😅
But I am! And I'm very excited!
It's at #QConSF, on Tuesday, and it'll be in the #PlatformEngineering track. The title is "Understanding Platforms: What They Are, Why They Work, When To Use Them, How To Build Them"
It'll be awesome! If you're at QCon SF, come find me!
Structurally, this is the most ambitious talk I've ever prepared. It's either going to be revolutionary or a giant mess. But... I think it'll be more on the revolutionary side 😏
What made this so difficult to write is that it's aimed at three audiences: programmers, engineering managers, and engineering executives.
The goal is to give each their own framework of understanding for themselves, but also a way to understand the other perspectives and values.
