How do you take a legacy system toward fast flow of change? @suksr takes us through an evolution
using wholistic approaches including DDD, Wardley Mapping, and Team Topologies #QConLondon
The Wardley Map is only part of Wardley Mapping. There’s a whole strategy cycle

from @suksr #QConLondon
Team Topologies has categories of teams, and even more important: consciously plan the interactions between teams

from @suksr #QConLondon
Domain Driven Design guides you toward: which domains are most key to your business? which should you buy? How many components can one team handle?

from @suksr #QConLondon
How do we get from here (inefficient, slow change) to there (more efficient, set up for fast flow)?

There was a very careful evolution with consideration for movement of knowledge

Keep an eye out for the video on @infoq

I laugh at people who talk about “exactly-once delivery”
The specs that claim it have been proven wrong.

But we have methods (like idempotency) to do things well.

Make handover/resumption protocols.
“This is what I thought I sent to you last, did you get it?”
“Here’s what I got from you last, let’s work it out from there”

@mjpt777 #YowLondon
These handover/resumption protocols are then useful when you need to switchover to a different datacenter.

Most scientific research about fun and humor is…
scientific. Not fun, and not humorous.

But it turns out that ducks are the funniest animal.

@holly_cummins #YowLondon Image
There’s something shameful about fun.

This harks back to Puritans, who even banned Christmas because it was fun.

@holly_cummins #YowLondon Image
Programming is fun, so software development has the potential to be fun.

85% of data projects fail.
Yikes! How can we do better?

“AI is not a strategy.” @jessetanderson #YowLondon
You need about ten data engineers and one data scientist.
also an operations team.

Software is magic because it scales so well.
I can take the output of my brain and scale it to the world.

@KentBeck
If we go from Idea to Behavior change to new Idea…
how quickly we can do that depends on the structure.
@kentbeck
If we go Idea to Behavior to Idea to Behavior
as fast as we can,
it’s gonna get slower and slower and then the developers will get frustrated and leave and the new developers will be even slower…

So sometimes, we make a structure change before the behavior change.

SRE teams try to keep toil under 50%.

Only 50% of work that has no enduring value...

@DivineOps #QConSF
SREs in the audience? (Dozens of hands)
Experienced SREs? (Like 2.5 hands)
We @RedHat used to ship products. Build a thing, package it, send to customers. Then it was their problem. Customer hires a consultant or figures it out.

Now we mostly ship services. Now it’s our headache, reliability and uptime etc. It’s different

In which @mipsytipsy speaks up about the Engineer<->Manager Pendulum

#QConSF Image
The team deserves someone
who wants to manage people.
who is not bitter about meetings
who is interested in sociotechnical systems and nurturing careers
whose technical skills are strong enough to evaluate their work.

@mipsytipsy #QConSF
And each of us deserves a long, interesting career.

Trick: don’t self-identify as a manager OR as engineer.

Look at yourself as a Technologist
Or Technical Leader
… who needs engineering AND management skills.
