| Java Sucks (So C# Didn't Have To) | NDC London 2026 | 2026-01-26 |
Java explains why generics use type erasure (JSR-14 chose backward compatibility over VM changes), so runtime type info is gone and libraries must pass type… | ||
| Java Sucks (So C# Didn't Have To) | NDC Copenhagen 2025 | 2025-09-08 |
Looks at concrete tradeoffs: shows a Box generics demo and explains why Java uses type erasure (added in Java 1.5 for backwards compatibility), why libraries… | ||
| Mayday Mark 2! More Software Lessons From Aviation Disasters. | NDC Oslo 2025 | 2025-05-19 |
Aviation safety history and case studies show concrete software lessons: global fatal crashes peak at 230 in 1970 and fall to ~49 by the 2010s (about 1 death… | ||
| Are Rewrites always a Bad Idea? | NDC Melbourne 2025 | 2025-04-29 |
A legacy C++ item response theory service with four endpoints and a stateless service pattern gets ported to Kotlin + Spring Boot using the Kotlin standard… | ||
| Mayday Mark 2! More Software Lessons From Aviation Disasters. | Devoxx Belgium 2024 | 2024-10-07 |
Deep dives into cases deliver actionable lessons: Air France 447 shows Pitot tube icing and conflicting airspeed cause autopilot disconnect, alternate-law… | ||
| Are Rewrites always a Bad Idea? | CPH DevFest 2024 | 2024-08-26 |
A legacy C++ item‑response service gets fully rewritten into Kotlin Spring Boot using the Kotlin standard library (rejecting multik and smile), splitting work… | ||

A C++ item response theory service is replaced with a Kotlin + Spring Boot implementation that ports an R model into plain Kotlin data classes, uses standard… | ||
| A Teacher, an Economist and a Developer Walk Into a Bar | NDC Porto 2023 | 2023-10-16 |
Compares concrete choices: a rewrite estimated as three developers for 12 months (~250k) versus incremental work that doubles velocity only after years… | ||
| A Teacher, an Economist & a Developer Walk Into a Bar... | GOTO Amsterdam 2023 | 2023-06-13 |
Compares a costly rewrite versus incremental improvement with a back-of-envelope opportunity‑cost: a 12‑month rewrite yields zero delivery for a year and only… | ||

| Mayday! Software lessons from aviation disasters | NDC Sydney 2022 | 2022-10-12 |
Two aviation investigations show precise takeaways: a 1989 crash kills 55 after counterfeit bolts cause resonant vibration that shears the tail—diagnosed by… | ||
| Mayday! Software Lessons From an Aviation Disaster | GOTO Amsterdam 2022 | 2022-06-12 |
A DC-8 spends 50 minutes in a low-altitude hold while crew fixates on a suspected gear problem, burning fuel until engines flame out and the aircraft crashes… | ||
