Software Engineering - Development in 100 Years Time

Explore the future of software engineering in this thought-provoking conference talk by Dave Farley at GOTOpia November 2020. Delve into enduring principles that could shape the discipline over the next century, examining key ideas such as programming languages, frameworks, paradigms, and Test-Driven Development. Learn about the importance of iteration, feedback, and empirical approaches in software development. Discover how concepts like modularity, separation of concerns, and continuous delivery might evolve. Gain insights into potential long-lasting foundations for building a true engineering discipline in software development, with predictions and observations spanning various aspects of the field.
