Historically bad ideas
Host: Floyd Marinescu & Aino Corry
Software development is evolving quickly for the better but sometimes for
the worst. This track will feature technology directions that were once
discussed almost like silver bullets but which later proved to be bad ideas
or short-lived fads. Each session will then teach what direction we finally
evolved towards, and what lessons were learned in the process. The
presenters in the track themselves personally played a role in driving us
into and out of some of the dead-ends presented here.
This track is not about blame (although you may hear some!), but rather it
provides a chance to learn from the history of software development.
