We constantly hear that change should be affordable and cost effective. True, but, in reality, that's easily said than done. Complexity makes change hard. We can't shy away from the hard problems posed by domains and business needs. So, how can we solve complicated problems without getting dragged into the quagmire of what appears to be an inevitable complexity? In this keynote, an award winning author and software practitioner will share experiences and observations from working on multiple software projects, about what leads to complexities, the traps developers and organizations fall into, and what we can do to effectively deal with [...]

One of the best tech talks that I have ever watched, Thank you Venkat, you are a great role model for programmers...

[@ganeshbhaimrana3081]

👍

[@SipofCode]

This is a great talk. He knows how to deliver stuff, branching out and continuing from where he was!

[@TheZazatv]

This is definitely what i was looking for awesome talk. And i would add that sometimes making code more flexible makes it much harder to maintain. So if you don't need certain things in your code don't make it as flexible as much u can.

[@thorsten111]

Great talk. Great humor

[@amarpathak1939]

Le. Mimitel. Le. Petit. Telephome. GOUROU. DAMOL. POMOMTO.

[@timhosking]

Venkat does not understand the difference between complicated and complex. Big difference. He conflates the two. You can't talk about this subject without that understanding

[@jayasri6764]

Complicated things do not exist. Only overly complex ones do.

[@kunalr_ai]

Only bhasan no information in the lecture

[@natashaya6390]

He did provide information, only if you could understand. this is a technical conference and not a "how to code" learning session
