We're charged with the task of writing software that is reliable, sturdy, and trustworthy. We could all write tests and extensive preconditions for our code, and choose languages which make errors less likely, but across the industry we don't do any of these things uniformly. Michael Feathers looks at error-prevention in the short history of our discipline and considers our possible futures.
In this talk Robert C. Martin outlines the practices used by software craftsmen to maintain their professional ethics. He resolves the dilemma of speed vs. quality, and mess vs schedule. He provides a set of principles and simple Dos and Don'ts for teams who want to be counted as professional craftsmen.
