Culture really matters en
DevOps is not a product you can buy and set. It is not a process or framework you choose to follow up. Building microservice applications neither means you are doing DevOps. You can’t be DevOps and traditional; there’s no cherry picking, requires a change in the whole organization's CULTURE.
The culture of an organization is the way in which things are done, the behaviors, values and practices that have been developed and reinforced over time. Culture have big impact in the way things are done inside an organization and is the more important factor in innovation levels and improvement of products and processes.
In this talk we will see what are the most critical factors when an organization try to change its culture, which are common issues, why some organizations or persons refuse to accept the change... and how to work with them.
Learning how to manage... in the hard way en
When I was proposed to manage a team 10 years ago, I didn't even remotely know what to expect. Later, when I had to manage projects, I found things that I had not imagined. When I went further and got involved in changing the processes of a company, I did not know how complicated it can be. Everything I know about management I learned the hard way. I was learning it as I went, reading, finding references, and getting help from peers from other companies.
Because when you are a manager, it is rare for someone to tell you how to do things or help you carry them out.
I hope this talk is helpful for those who want to be managers so they can prepare for what is coming. And for those who already are, let them see themselves reflected and not feel alone anymore.
The power of quick feedback in Software Development en

It speeds up how we improve our code, makes teams work together better, and stops problems before they become big headaches.

We'll see how it helps us work faster, collaborate effectively, avoid big mistakes, and keep us always learning and getting better. Let's uncover the magic of quick feedback that turns good teams into excellent ones!
Hard skills, soft skills, and human skills en
In this era of AI replacing many of our tasks related to communicating with computer systems (writing code, reviewing PRs, improving performance,...), it is crucial to polish up our abilities to connect and empathize with other humans.
Demonstrating empathy during challenging times, active listening, sound judgment, and fostering a culture of responsibility, learning, and growth can truly make a difference.
Let's talk about how to discover and enhance our human skills.
Stop talking about technical debt... to top management. en
For years, technical teams have conveyed their concerns about system maintainability to their managers through the metaphor of technical debt. While it's a good way to explain what happens when technical decisions have been made to solve technical problems, non-technical people haven't always understood it well.
The result is that whenever someone talks about technical debt, it sounds like a complaint and an excuse to use new technology that may not add anything to the business.
Let's change how we talk to ensure that technical problems receive the attention they deserve.
