Be full of respect for the past generations, because the way you talk about old code today, will be the same way people will be talking about your code years from now. Be full of care about future generations, they will have to live with your legacy code Be full of childish curiosity, embrace failures, be open, experiment and share

1. … A word of warning …
It is not may intention to make you feel offended,
this talk is
my view of the world,
my experience,
my life,
my twisted sense of humour
Respect it!!!

2. We Are Crowd

3. We Are
Anonymous

4. Who am I?
Journeyman through
space, time and technology
devoted follower in church of JVM
Archaeologist of legacy code

5. ..But today...
I am going to talk
(or at least try)
about feelings & emotions

6. ...PRIDE...

7. ...Meaning of life...

8. Software is eating the world
By Marc Andreessen
And
Complexity is eating software
For lunch

9. We Are GODS

10. If software is everywhere
And
Became a vital part of our lives
Why
there is so much frustration

11. I am feeling
lucky!

12. codebases we work with, suck
Architects are stupid (I want to become one)
I hate trend setters at conferences
technology X sucks big time, and Y is new cool
My manager doesn't understand
how to do software
All these processes and deadlines are sick

13. Why?

14. Hegemony of Mediocrity

15. Myth of 10x programmer
„We don't trust you”
Clean code is expensive
Workforce shortage

17. Decision Fatigue
Distractions, distractions
10-15 minutes Penalty
Meetings, emails, Messengers
Open space

18. Disconnected from
Our creation

19. What we deliver
Is not
What customers get
We tend to forget about it
We live in an illusion that
code
Is important

20. We are hidden behind:
Organization layers
(sales, support, product)
Infrastructure
Processes

21. How many times you have heard from
your customer
“I saw your recent change to
registration form, from the first look I
knew it was you who coded it”
„I think this pagination on orders page
was probably coded by Tomasz, it must
have been him”

22. We Are
Anonymous

23. Revolution
is
Calling

24. stop complaining, criticizing and whining
Be full of respect for the past
generations,
because the way you talk about
old code today,
will be the same way people will be
talking
about your code years from now

25. Be full of care about
future generations,
they will have to live with your legacy
code
Be full of childish curiosity,
embrace failures,
be open,
experiment and share

26. Being proud of what you are doing is
most rewarding thing in our life
Be proud of who you are,
don’t accept mediocrity
but don’t
punish people for it
Don’t make people feel bad about it
(I know it is hard, trust me)

27. if code is bad,
change it,
if your not happy with a conference
talk,
submit your own,
if you think your manager is an a**hole,
become one,
for a moment,

28. Do anything,
to be proud of
who you are,
pride of your work will come later,
Really
Once you gain,
Experience,
Confidence,
Respect & trust

29. Let the eternal stream of byte code
Flows through your body
