Technology as Fashion: Faded Fads & Flipped Scripts
KEYNOTE PROPOSAL
Developers strive to learn from personal experience, community knowledge, & current "best practices". Sometimes it all works, sometimes it doesn't. Today's hotness can become tomorrow's technical debt. But don't we look great!
The presenter examines past technology choices that went the way of crocheted vests & parachute pants. Also up for discussion are current tech offerings that show signs of moving to the bargain bin.
