Adam Tornhill – Author of “Your Code as a Crime Scene” @adamtornhill2546

ABSTRACT
Many codebases contain code that is overly complicated and difficult to understand, and therefore expensive to change and evolve. Prioritizing technical debt is a difficult problem because modern systems can have millions of lines of code and multiple development teams – no one has a complete picture. Moreover, there is always a trade-off between improving existing code and adding new features, so we need to use our time wisely. So what if we could harness the collective intelligence of all contributing programmers and make decisions based on information about how the organization actually works with the code?
In this presentation, you will learn how we can use readily available version control data to uncover the behavior and patterns of the development organization. This language-neutral approach allows you to prioritize the parts of your system that will benefit most from improvements, allowing you to use data to balance short-term and long-term goals. The specific examples are from real-world codebases such as Android, the Linux kernel, .Net Core Runtime […]
