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.

Curious about how a consumer-grade social application’s data architecture has been designed? Taz will review the end-to-end GraphQL architecture used at Guild. Everything from Relay to Persisted Operations cached on Cloudflare Workers to efficient Postgres schema resolution. The session is intended to be half show-and-tell and half open discussion with the audience.

Getting started in the software industry is hard. Taz will outline the lessons learnt from his journey as an 11-year-old kid trying to make a video game by learning JavaScript to supporting Toronto’s software community & mentoring developers to progressing through the industry & scaling up software teams.
