Narcissistic Design: 10 Steps to Complex Code and Job Security

The software industry changes rapidly, but you can protect yourself
from these changes by creating code that is complicated enough that
only you can maintain it.

Clojure in 10 Big Ideas

The key to understanding Clojure is ideas, not language constructs.
In this talk, we will approach Clojure via 10 Big Ideas.

Simulation Testing with Simulant

Simulation allows a rigorous, scalable, and reproducible approach to testing. The separation of concerns, and the use of a versioned, time-aware database, give simulation great power. This talk will introduce simulation testing, walking through a complete example using Simulant, an open-source simulation library.

Generative Testing

Traditional automated testing approches combine input generation, execution, output capture, and validation inside the bodies of single functions. Generative testing approaches gain expressive power by isolating these steps.
