Engineering Feedback Loops
Lone Star Software Symposium: Austin
Austin · July 27 - 29, 2018
About this Presentation
Science is a systematic process of engineering feedback loops that help you learn. This learning isn't arbitrary. In science, we're on a mission to discover useful clues that help us understand a system. Whether that system is a product we're trying to design, a process we want to improve, or an application we're trying to understand – the art of engineering feedback loops still applies.
In this session, we'll breakdown a foundational framework for engineering feedback loops based on Statistical Process Control (SPC) theory from the Lean Manufacturing world, applied to the art of problem-solving in software development. We'll start with explicit models for the problem-solving process itself, then discuss a framework for engineering feedback loops on top.
Ramp up your engineering skills like never before, by mastering the art of the feedback loop.
Developer Experience Researcher, University of Victoria
Arty Starr has been a software engineer for 20+ years and is a researcher and pioneer of new theories of the developer's cognitive experience that help us recognize how developers' experiences are changing with AI. Her theories of developer momentum and troubleshooting help us see software development through an ecological lens, recognizing it as a living activity in motion and the living capacities of care and cognition that support this motion. Her aim is to bring heart, human-centric values, and agency to the craft of software development so we can build toward the type of world we want to live in. With richer perception and by recognizing what matters, we can light a path to a future of thriving habitats where humans and AI can collaborate well and thrive together.
Arty is the author of Idea Flow, a speaker, thought leader, and artist who loves mixing ideas across disciplines into a fusion of creativity to help make the world a better place through her projects.
