history

HBR: the new product development game










scrum based on toyota, instead of lean






anthropomorphic UI design
CRC cards
one of the best OO design
not there anymore


programming by difference
incrementally defining a new object by an old one


Engaging end users through their mental models
one model: representation in the machine of a model that is in the mind of the end user
goal: engage the person with the software so the 2 together become one mind
not interface and pluggable
based on
psychology research by pappart
inspired by
learning theory by p h a
child of Alan K





-> pull development





Paper: A Personal Computer for Children of All Ages - Alan Kay



OO = networks of OO



the interface is the product, the rest is waste





papers by Abrahamson and synnie alto
TDD is a design technique, forcing bottom up architecture
the coupling and cohesion metrics will kill you


toyota removed some automation because robots don't learn



controller != user input




research by Hector Valdecantos et al






fast
does not appear in agile
roots TPS
careful decisions made with long deliberation
"defer decisions to last responsible moment"
-> Agile WRONG
opposite of what lean ppl mean
lean: 'last responsible moment'
after which your ability to affect an outcome is taken away
pull those as early as possible
high risk decisions first
don't defer


mental model
behavioral psychologists
soliciting end user mental model









patterns:
quality without a name
just feels right



purpose of daily scrum
NOT communicate impediments
NOT share the goal
NOT info sharing
= replan of your weekly planning
= mini spring planning


what % should fail?
50%
fail more? you suck
fail less? cooking the books, hiding stuff


bug tracking?
fix now!


interface with other scrum teams?
no platforms


no handoffs in scum














regression testing works, automate those
rest: exploratory testing





mob programming
woody zuul


organizational learning
NOT rebuilt team every time
stable teams have value
UX knowledge
tease out mental models
people part is hard part
tech is easy, spend 2 weeks


balance process & product focus
1970-1970 too much process
too focused on product
learning
improvement
balance
scrum is one framework which offers this
scrum is a passing way, learning tool




accountability is important
PO is accountable












real learning
process
values
offsite each year







scrum










QA
What about integration testing?
do it, about 90% of testing i'm doing
most important is usability testing
end user testing is all that matters


Class is bad, Object good?
class will not support the use case
also needs UC


Books about design?
design after modernism by john tecuira
...
by christopher alexander (he got his from this field)


Opinion on software craftsmanship movement?
some level, right focus
NOT engineering
NOT science
= craft
profesionalism has higher bar than the crap Bob talks about

Description


This presentation was recorded at GOTO Berlin 2017 http://gotober.com James Coplien - Gertrud & Cope ABSTRACT It can easily be argued that agile grew out of the spirit of object orientation: its focus on change, on anthropomorphism, and on people. Alan Kay saw objects as a way for people to connect with their environments through their machines. As late as the 1980s people were still talking about anthropomorphic [...] Download slides and read the full abstract here: https://gotober.com/2017/sessions/297https://twitter.com/gotoberhttps://www.facebook.com/GOTOConferencehttp://gotocon.com

Eric Rohlfs | This talk caught me off guard. Information dense, authoritative, unique point of view derived from experiences my generation missed. We were given tools and told to use them, very little on why.

machivellisucs | i have noticed that all the famous US IT professionals give presentations in Europe nowadays. In the US we have basically given away most of our development to India. It was about cheap labor costs. Sara Blackwell said she went to a offshoring/outsourcing conference. She was told that people in Europe and Australia and Canada would never allow this.

tr233 | As c++ better then java, diamond inheritance problem, memory leakage. TDD is not a technique to know what your code doing, it is a technique to make sure that side effects wont appear if you write code on large projects and that at any point you can refactor it to the requirement of the client.
