Join us for an irreverent exploration of software development's favorite false economy. We'll dive into the seductive world of "ship now, test never" and trace how those passionate early-stage shortcuts transform into toxic long-term relationships with your codebase.

Through battle scars and war stories, you'll discover why "we'll add tests when things calm down" belongs in the same fantasy realm as "I'll start going to the gym next Monday."

Learn practical strategies for integrating testing into your workflow without sacrificing velocity, protecting both your production environment and your team's sanity.

Perfect for engineering teams navigating the delicate balance between speed and sustainability—because nothing kills momentum quite like rebuilding the same features over and over again.

Let’s delve into the nuanced world of developer experience in observability. We'll explore key elements of developer experience for observability and share insights into what is key to enable any developer to detect and resolve errors before they become problems.

Seamless integration, clean UI/UX, Following standards, intuitive SDKs, and striking the right balance between observability and performance. A deep dive into how these factors shape the developer journey. Join me for a candid conversation that goes beyond the surface of developer experience and gets deeper into what makes a difference.

Developer Experience is more than just documentation, static types, and feedback loops. It’s about, well, people. The type of person who enjoys a challenge for that warm fuzzy reward of telling their friends about what they’ve created and at the same time are highly skeptical of appearing to sell to them. So what’s the secret to doing this well? Taz will be talking about his Developer Experience and the key lessons learnt along the way.
