After reading and breaking your head for a while, you finally demystified a piece of code and staring at it you wonder: “why does it have to be so complex”? – Has this ever happened to you?

Oh uncle Bob, where would we be without you & clean code?

Also check out thought provoking talk about developers and responsibility

From time to time I like to take a break from brain wrenching talks and watch something relaxing, fun and educational. Enjoy.

Really good talk by Sam Newman.

Yeah, Java 8 is done for it, but not everywhere, some are still programming in it. In any case, I enjoy Venkat’s talks (even attended one many years ago) he never skips the beat.

Great talk about team leaders & dev. teams. If you liked the talk and need more insight, you can read Roy’s book: “Notes to software team leader”. I enjoyed the book greatly.

If you haven’t migrated to jUnit 5, this talk will provide most important overview. Yes, it is dated, but I still found it to be valuable.

I don’t remember when or how I came across this talk, but I’m sure glad I did. I believe, the talk is a good starting point if your team is struggling in a decision making area.

Recently found, quite interesting and entertaining talk. I hope it will shed some perspective on the development process.
