Planning to attend #YOW26 with the team?
Group discounts are available for orders of 5 or more, but they close 3 weeks before the conference.
So get your team organised and reach out soon!
AI can write code faster than ever, so why does reviewing it still take just as long?
That’s the question @codefrenzy explores in her #YOW26 talk - The Wrong Side of the Equation: Cybernetics for the Agentic Era.

@codefrenzy draws on cybernetics & her research into how professional devs are experiencing AI coding assistants to ask a bigger question: are we designing our software development systems to keep up with the machines we're putting into them?
Microservices didn’t solve modularity. Neither did OOP, design patterns, or SOA.
So what will?
@vladikk brings a fresh lens to software’s long-running modularity problem - one made far more consequential by AI-assisted engineering to #YOW26.

It’s a natural next chapter for readers of Vlad’s book "Learning Domain-Driven Design", which explores how to draw meaningful system boundaries around real business domains.

It's Ada Lovelace Day, a celebration of the achievements of women in STEM careers.
In memory of #AdaLovelace, the 1st computer programmer, we'd like to honour the amazing women who have graced our events & shared their stories, knowledge & expertise. Thank you all!

C# has changed a lot. Have you kept up?
With every new version come features designed to make our code cleaner, safer & easier to work with - but it’s easy to miss what’s actually useful.
At #YOW26, @fekberg is taking us through the C# features worth knowing...

... from nullable reference types & pattern matching to records, collection expressions, extension members & unions.
If you write C#, this is your chance to catch up on where the language is heading - & what you can start using today.
We're thrilled @fastly is now a #YOW26 GOLD Sponsor! 👏👏👏
The Fastly Edge Cloud Platform delivers some of the best & fastest online experiences possible thru edge compute, delivery, security & observability offerings.
"I bought this book for myself after watching Dave Farley's YouTube channel. I've now bought a second copy for the office library and I'm suggesting that everyone in my development team reads it."
Why thank you! 😎

Everyone's talking about the AI revolution.
@tlberglund wants to take a step back in his #YOW26 keynote & look at the ideas and technologies that brought us here - from the early days of AI research through neural networks & transformers to today's generative AI boom...

Because sometimes the best way to understand where we're going is to look at how we got here.

Some software problems are new. Some have been annoying engineering teams for decades.
@randyshoup has spent more than 30 years working on them.
He's also no stranger to YOW! - having joined us previously at #YOW22 with his talk: piped.video/oejXFgvAwTA?si=cdqD…
Pls welcome @vladikk to #YOW26!
Vlad will look at why so many approaches to modularity haven't quite delivered on their promises, & share a practical way to evaluate the modularity of your own codebase, identify where things have gone wrong & start fixing them.
