Took the long way back to Montréal by stopping in Sweden for a few days where I had the chance of seeing some old friends, running into new ones, as well as skinny-dip in very cold water. The theme for this year's Øredev was Legacy, and so I was invited to share my thoughts on the topic of software preservation under the quirkily labeled "code adjacent" track.
Among a sea of LinkedIn-maxxing, KPI-optimizing, leadership-hacking, Java-API-deprecating, and .NET Framework-superseding, it was immediately clear that I had found my people in the code adjacent sidelines. Not only was this where the folks writing actual code were hiding, but our little coffee chain-drinking gang filled my days in Malmö with discussions of creative projects to try when I do get back home in December.
@neauoire I spoke at Øredev back in 2012. Malmö was lovely. Sounds like you had exactly the right kind of time there.
