YOW Melbourne 2024

Day 2 at YOW 2024 Melbourne! I saw fantastic talks about getting executive buy-in, why you should develop your tech lead skills, how Spotify built Discover Weekly, nuances to programming in Rust, horror stories about not using feature flags, and why 100% efficiency is a bad goal.

Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
