“Decisions, Decisions” a great presentation about software design

Following a recommendation from Jon Woods, I just checked out Decisions, Decisions, a recorded QCon presentation. Well worth watching, and thinking about, and putting into practice.

I don’t want to spoil it, as he has a fun, interactive, style of presentation, but if you have any experience in software development you will get his point very quickly, and it might just change some of the opinions you didn’t even know you had.

I just ran into a fascinating presentation giving a whole new way of thinking about software development, and careers in general. It also includes some eye-opening software demos.

Watching this video felt a lot like one of the better TED talks. Although it is a bit longer than typical TED talks, it is well worth watching all the way though.
