Abstract
Software development and construction may seem like completely different worlds, and yet we use similar terminology to describe concepts in both: infrastructure, architects, frameworks, scaffolding, foundations, builds, … Are these two processes really so similar? In this talk, I will share my experience with building a house for my family and how that changed my perspective on efficiency, quality and success in software development.
