"You Code Like a Sysadmin"—Software Development for the Non-Developer
H. Wade Minter, Adwerx
The software development community is filled with brilliant, talented people who thrive on the latest programming methodologies, breathe agile, live scrum, and scoff at anything with less than 100% test coverage. But what if you're just a nerd with an idea and a little programming knowledge? Is there a place for you?
In this talk, you'll learn how a sysadmin turned into a developer and helped build a multimillion-dollar company, while doing everything wrong. Feel free to share your stories, and we'll move beyond the stigma of coding like a sysadmin!
