Keynote Day 2 – Chad Fowler
summary
Argues that “quality” must be turned into measurable claims and shows concrete tools and results: uses quality function deployment spreadsheets to map fuzzy requirements to testable metrics, releases the turbulence gem to measure complexity vs churn on a Rails app at livingsocial and pinpoints the worst refactoring targets, describes building an offshore org of 350 people in Bangalore that actually ships, and reports an offshore apprenticeship (Anthony Burns) that becomes a full‑time hire rather than a failed outsource.
