What I've Learned From Failure
This morning I had the honour of keynoting the wroc_love.rb conference. I gave a fairly informal talk called “The Not-So-Big Software Design.” You can browse the slides online or download a .zip of the images.
As I said at the time, this was a “Do as I say, not as I do” talk. I argued for code that hides the inessential and communicates it purpose, yet the talk itself meandered around the subject and was more implicit than explicit about its message.
