Nacho is a software engineer from Barcelona, a fan of eXtreme Programming (XP) practices who has been working with Java and other web technologies before the Y2K. He had experience in different roles in the IT world ('guy-for-everything', developer, team lead, project manager, and CTO) working in companies in many sectors: energy, e-commerce, startups (some unicorn) technology consultancy, and application performance management. Now working as a Principal Software Engineer at Dynatrace developing software for monitoring applications and in 2022 became Java Champion.
Always concerned with questions like "How does it work?" and "How can we make it better?", Nacho loves to share his knowledge with others and at the same time, learn from others. As a natural progression to this attitude, he founded the Barcelona Java Users Group and co-founded the Barcelona Developers Conference (former Java and JVM Barcelona Conference).
When he is not thinking about the next interesting thing to do for the community, he enjoys spending time with his family, playing sports, or improving his TDD and other XP skills.
Have you ever been on a project where desperation can get the better of you? It was more of an odyssey to get a change working in a real environment... in less than 1 or 2 hours? Or where to do a simple experiment, the flow you must follow until you deploy your changes takes one day... if not more? Ah yes, we've all been there, haven't we?
Get ready in this session to understand how and why having the most agile feedback possible is a goal we should pursue individually, as a team goal (and in our company), seeing the many benefits it can bring us and how it can revolutionise our software development process. By minimising the time between code changes and receiving feedback, teams can accelerate bug detection, improve software quality, enhance collaboration ... and even make them happier than before. We’ll explore key components like continuous integration, automated testing, monitoring, highlighting best practices and strategies. Expect also to hear about DORA metrics, running experiments, feature flags, some numbers on costs and money savings, and cases based on real facts.
And at the end, get ready to sing along (emulating a famous band): 🎶 "Fast feedback loop, fast feedback loop, fast feedback loop is all you need!" 🎶 😉
