Better Than New: A Mender's Journey
Most software developers love creating something new. So when it comes to improving existing code, a common approach is a rewrite. While scrapping what you have and starting fresh might seem intuitive, there's an even better way to modernize software systems — mending. In this talk, M. Scott Ford will give you a glimpse into the mender mindset. You'll learn what makes menders tick, why they find so much personal satisfaction in nurturing existing codebases, and which projects will thrive under a mender's stewardship.
