| Soft Skills for Technical Teams The Active Listening Super Power | Build Stuff 2024 | 2024-11-13 |
Claim: active listening measurably improves team trust, empathy and problem solving and can be life‑saving. Training comes from Samaritans practice and is… | ||
| Don’t Feed the Pigeons Some Principles from Real World Internal Developer Platform | Build Stuff 2024 | 2024-11-13 |
Shows that an internal developer platform succeeds by clear design choices not buzzwords: it enforces the principle of least surprise, treats code is… | ||
| Platform Engineering: A Deep Dive Conversation | GOTO Copenhagen 2024 | 2024-09-30 |
Argues platform engineering succeeds by changing behavior not piling on tools, using don't feed the pigeons as the rule: stop enabling brittle developer… | ||
| Some Principles From Real World Internal Developer Platform Engineering | GOTO Copenhagen 2024 | 2024-09-30 |
Practical principles for internal developer platforms: treat the platform as a habitat that lifts engineers up, use experiments with short feedback loops and… | ||
| Bugs in Collaboration: "Learning from Incidents" Edition | YOW! Melbourne 2022 | 2022-12-08 |
Identifies concrete collaboration failures — secretive names and automation that trap people (one engineer deleted a grid computing cluster with one unprompted… | ||
| Developing a Culture of Reliability & Resilience through Chaos | Agile India 2021 | 2021-11-18 |
Argues that speed and reliability coexist: high performers deploy frequently, have low change lead time and much lower MTTR (Accelerate data), so invest in… | ||
| Developing a Culture of Reliability and Resilience through Chaos | Build Stuff 2021 | 2021-11-17 |
Claims that faster, smaller deployments reduce change-related failures and lower mean time to recovery; build four capacities — anticipation, synchronization… | ||
| How to be WRONG | Conf42 Chaos Engineering 2020 | 2020-01-23 |
Claims that being wrong is inevitable and useful, and that chaos engineering should be repackaged as system verification with measurable objectives (for… | ||
| Trust and Confidence through Chaos | W-JAX 2018 | 2018-11-05 |
Russell Miles (Russell Miles & Associates) | https://jax.de/speaker/russell-miles/
Production hates you. The machines, the networks, the very users you hope… | ||
| Trust and Confidence through Chaos | W-JAX 2018 | 2018-11-05 |
Argues that running small, hypothesis-driven failure experiments — first in staging, then automated in production — uncovers human, platform and infrastructure… | ||
| Learning to Love your Non-functionals | GOTO Chicago 2018 | 2018-04-24 |
A hands-on case for using controlled experiments to harden distributed systems: a 6,326 mile tour fuels lessons that chaos toolkit and tools like Gremlin and… | ||
| Harnessing Chaos; the hidden ingredient behind building better systems | NDC London 2018 | 2018-01-15 |
Production is hostile and unpredictable so the talk argues for deliberately experimenting to raise availability rather than avoiding failure. It specifies… | ||
| Harnessing Chaos; the hidden ingredient behind building better systems through learning | Build Stuff 2017 | 2017-11-15 |
Production is hostile: hardware, latency, exhaustion and human error cause failure to be the norm, so the concrete claim is that chaos engineering builds… | ||
| Better Software Development Systems through Stress | DevOpsCon 2017 Berlin | 2017-06-12 |
Argument that deliberately injecting faults builds measurable confidence in availability, not chaos for its own sake. Practical recipe: raise observability… | ||
| Making Sense Of Microservices | ACCU 2017 | 2017-04-24 |
Claims that microservices mainly amplify cognitive overhead and the false assumption "we know what we're doing," and proposes automation and chat-driven… | ||
| The technical journey to microservices | The Lead Developer London 2015 | 2015-09-10 |
Adoption hits an adoption hump where money and effort produce little value; successful journeys use concrete patterns: keep all domain happenings in event… | ||
| From 'Agile Hangover' to 'Antifragile Organisations' | GOTO Copenhagen 2014 | 2014-09-25 |
Many organisations are stuck in an agile hangover: big spends on coaches and processes, eight months of up‑front design, one month to code and only three… | ||
| The Business Benefits of Microservices | Cloud Foundry Summit 2014 | 2014-06-09 |
Claims that shifting a monolith into many single-purpose services lets parts evolve and compete independently, enabling rapid, Darwinian innovation rather than… | ||
| Architectural Simplicity through Events | GOTO Aarhus 2013 | 2013-09-30 |
Claims that replacing layered glue with a hexagonal-inspired Life Preserver pattern and an explicit event domain cuts entanglement and ripple changes (one… | ||
| Without Simplicity, There's Just No Agility | GOTO Aarhus 2013 | 2013-09-30 |
Argues that simplicity is the engine of agility and shows concrete tactics that stop overproduction: replaced a planned 10‑person, 2‑year build with sticky… | ||
| The Apocrypha of Geb | GOTO Aarhus 2013 | 2013-09-30 |
Argues that Geb is useful far beyond web testing and shows a working script that screen-scrapes Google and Bing for Chuck Norris references, using Geb for… | ||
