ABSTRACT
Have you ever thought about why what we see as the sensible defaults for software engineering in 2023 work?
We adopt the key metrics from Accelerate, team structures from Team Topologies and Microservices in an effort to improve the flow of value to our users (or to a customer saying Thank You, paraphrasing Daniel Terhorst-North).

But what is Value? What is Flow? James will use ideas from Information Theory and Complexity Science to peek into the domain model of our everyday experiences turning ideas into running software. Come along and explore the weird world of how work works. Warning, may cause you to reduce batch sizes, because maths. [...]

Excellent. Really interesting and full of ideas of how to do things better.
Unfortunately, the last two places I've worked have already consulted, and paid a fortune to be told SAFE works.
Which of course it doesn't.

+infinity for not using branches, sadly I've not worked on a project that didn't use them since leaving TW :(

I made it to 10 minutes. And it wasn’t clear to me what this video was about. I decided I didn’t want to spend another 40 trying to figure that out.
