So if my health permits I will be at #LDX3 in London the first week of June. Ticket, hotel and train ticket are booked.

603€ for the train from Aachen to London and back 😬

I've cleaned the house some, and had a nap, and now my #1 job is to write talk proposals for #LDX3 NYC.

How are devs at #AI startups and in Big Tech using AI tools, and what do they think of them? A broad overview of the state of play in tooling...

Reflecting on an incredible experience speaking at @TheLeadDev's #LDX3 conference last week! Very grateful to have been accepted as a speaker and for the amazing support throughout.

I enjoyed discussing challenges growing teams in the era of layoffs, and hopeful that my talk can provide some inspiration by treating teaching as a core engineering skill, applying lessons from pedagogy.

So many speakers at #LeadDev #LDX3 shared links to look into later, and I've found many more when I started following those up.

This post should be handy for me to keep track of them all, and for anyone else who might like to see if anything grabs them. Enjoy!

When #LDX3 had a talk on why the performance curve (stack ranking) is bad i had to go see how advanced the thinking was. spoiler: not very.. but worthy nevertheless.

Why do employers do this practice that is inefficient and counter-productive? "FOMO" apparently. The sort of hand waving you have to reach for without a Marxist analysis of the pressure on employers to exploit labor. Still it was quite gratifying to see an engineering manager advocate for unionising.

Have been to several #LDX3 sessions focussed on staff engineers. Many feel isolated, but they're also pretty aligned. "lots of miro diagramming to help teams communicate" got the most vigorous nod of consensus from other staff engineers. Once again many spoke of responsibilities that seem likely to filter down to all engineers wrangling LLMs
- you can't know everything any more
- facts stop working. you need to sell what you want.
- identify the level at which you engage with problems

Surprisingly anti-work management software, anti-dashboards stance from this speaker from an outsourcing company at #LDX3 this morning. I wonder what the overlap is between LLM agent effective spend tools and employee surveillance tools.

There was a community round table of trans engineering managers and first I didn't know about it, then my brain needed to reboot and when I was able to communicate with coherence again, it was over :blobcatpensive: #LDX3

My 2nd workshop at #LDX3 was on technical leadership with @claresudbery (pretty sure i first saw her present at #AgileLondon 15+ years ago). It was a lot of confidence building around letting go of deep technical knowledge (in favour of broad knowledge) and why that is necessary for leadership positions. Arguably this shift is coming across the organisation. GenAI promotes superficial understanding of more subjects. How long before we're all asking, "But do i need to know why?" about everything.
