Sometimes frowned upon, yet often found in practice, with lots of variation from one company to another, the idea of Agile has already gone beyond just software development. With this talk, I want to provide a positive perspective on what it feels like to be a software engineer in the 2020ies, looking at both my own experience and public reports from a chosen set of prominent examples.
Starting from the very simple original Agile Manifesto, we discuss trends that developed in project management over the years, and how Agile spread around. I will add my own view on the ideas, based on professional experience I have gained across multiple companies I worked for. With this talk, I want to give potential new software engineers some insight into what the industry is really like, and share with you what makes me happy about the profession.
I like giving talks and workshops.
In my free time, I work on free and open source software, especially operating systems and distributions, bringup and application firmware, with a focus on tooling, integration, and documentation.
I created Fiedka, the firmware editor.
