Continued thread

My talk "How (not) to sell technical debt" is now also available on my own channel:

youtu.be/RVcmcmOVl8s

I talked about ‘software essentials for executives’ to help executives avoid costly mistakes and ‘executive essentials for engineers’ to provide engineers with a few pointers that may help executives make better decisions.

My talk "How (not) to sell technical debt" is online!

I gave this talk November 8th 2022 online to the dutch system architecting conference of bits & chips

I talked about ‘software essentials for executives’ to help executives avoid costly mistakes and ‘executive essentials for engineers’ to provide engineers with a few pointers that may help executives make better decisions.

A boost for reach would be appreciated!
