Session + Live Q&A
Reproducible Development with Containers
Week-long project onboarding? “Works on my machine”? Software version conflicts between projects? Days of catchup after your laptop bites the dust?
These concepts are as obsolete as developing without version control. The future is devcontainers: fully-featured, versioned, reproducible development environments that run immediately on any machine with a Docker installation. Or in the cloud, shared by collaborating coworkers.
In this session, Avdi Grimm describes the future of development, which is already here. Get a tour of a devcontainer, and contrast it with a deployment container. Notice how devcontainers can improve your team's productivity.
Containers - they're not just for production anymore.

Panel: The True Bottleneck in Software Engineering - Cognitive Load
Tuesday Nov 9 / 02:10PM EST
In software development, our job is not typing. Our job is making decisions. It is what we type that matters, and what we can glean from the computer's response. The core limitation of our work is how much we can know: how much we can hold in our heads, and how quickly we can learn. This...
