Argues that agile is dead because the Agile Manifesto’s adjective becomes a sellable noun, spawning certification mills and corporate frameworks (example ad… | ||
| Challenges in Implementing Microservices | Fred George | 49m |
Argues that microservices succeed only with concrete choices: use an event bus (Kafka cited at ~250,000 msgs/sec) instead of one monolithic DB, give each… | ||
| The Secret Assumption of Agile | Fred George | 47m |
Claims concrete metrics: agile projects use tests‑first, tiny classes and continuous integration to make change cheap. Case studies show 12‑month vendor bids… | ||
| Scrum at Scale | Jeff Sutherland | 39m |
Reports from Silicon Valley show only 20% of teams ship working software at sprint end, and a defense contractor must deliver a half‑price radar or lose… | ||
| Swarm-Stupidity | Gunter Dueck | 01h 04m |
Claims that managers accept a fixed comfort number — Duke constant 15 — so projects and risks are routinely pitched as 15% rather than true estimates; advises… | ||
| Progress Toward an Engineering Discipline of Software | Mary Shaw | 54m |
Argues that software has gained codified techniques—statics and strength of materials analogs arrive around 1700–1900 for bridges; bridge design now uses… | ||
| How Much Magic Is In Angular2? | Rody Haddad | 48m |
Builds a live app using Angular2 + TypeScript with SystemJS, TypeScript typings and socket.io (server on port 9898), then converts the same code to ES5 and… | ||
| Deeper Data Dimensions with Kibana | Rashid Khan | 48m |
Kibana 4 rearchitects discovery around Elasticsearch aggregations so visualizations are composable (top‑5 users then show them over time), it bundles panel… | ||
| Shield your Cluster: Security & Elasticsearch | Alex Reelsen | 39m |
Shield is a pluggable security layer for Elasticsearch that claims to add authentication, authorization, encryption and auditing without forking the core… | ||
