Featured Speaker: Devlin Liles
In the world of software there are few topics as sensitive as “architects” on a project. We have seen great ones, and terrible ones. In this talk we will break down the parts of the role, and how each of us can be a better architect. It will include technical details and discussion, as well as a new way to view the code base, software, and requirements we build.
