Leslie Coelho (Development Manager at Euromoney Institutional Investor) is a reductionist at heart and always looking for ways to make software delivery, more efficient and interesting.
“I believe that great software should be simple and elegant. That great code, like any good engineering and architecture, should be beautiful.” How do we put the beauty, and fun back into software delivery, and how do we make it more cost effective?
If you’re wondering what the Kobayashi Maru has to do with how we deliver software I’ll explain in this video.
