Code, Immutability & the Future of Development • Pragmatic Dave Thomas & Hannes Lowette • GOTO 2023
Watch the vid “Code, Immutability & the Future of Development • Pragmatic Dave Thomas & Hannes Lowette • GOTO 2023” and also our collection of similar clips showcasing the popular comedic characters of the McKenzie brothers.
Bob and Doug McKenzie in Code, Immutability & the Future of Development • Pragmatic Dave Thomas & Hannes Lowette • GOTO 2023
In the video Code, Immutability & the Future of Development • Pragmatic Dave Thomas & Hannes Lowette • GOTO 2023, Bob and Doug McKenzie are a pair of fictional Canadian actors who starred in “Great White North”, a improv which was introduced on SCTV for the show’s third season when it was featured on CBC Television in the 80’s. The character Bob McKenzie is performed by the funny Rick Moranis and Doug McKenzie is created by actor Dave Thomas. The bit was born originally as an idea to both follow guidelines and laugh at dumb Canadian content rules, the two grew up to be a pop culture phenomenon in both Canada and across the border. The McKenzie siblings later became the focus of a an amazing comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.

DESCRIPTION
Software development in the 1990s was characterized as a chaotic period with projects often failing or delivering buggy software. The traditional approach involved lengthy requirement gathering, design and coding phases, fraught with issues, such as static requirements that didn’t account for evolving business needs and poor assumptions about value and functionality. The rapid evolution of frameworks, tools and techniques in the software industry came as a blessing and fostered innovation. However, it was challenging for developers as they struggled to keep up with the constant changes.
In this GOTO Unscripted conversation, Dave Thomas, original signatory and author of The Manifesto for Agile Software Development and co-author of The Pragmatic Programmer, spoke to Hannes Lowette about the future of software development, focusing on the concept of immutability in code and databases. Immutability in code refers to the idea that once code is made shareable, it becomes unchangeable, and it is identified by a unique identifier rather than its name. This approach allows for frequent code changes without breaking interfaces used by others. Regarding databases, Dave highlights the advantages of immutable databases, which, when combined with unique identifiers, make it easier to manage and work with data. Tune in to get insights into the dynamic landscape of software engineering and the need for continuous self-improvement in an era of advanced AI tools.

why is he in jail?
I suspect there are actually a lot of similarities between building a big skyscraper and building software. Although the skyscraper project obviously involves more physical labour, it also involves a huge amount of work in creating digital artifacts. And like with software the client doesn't really know what they want. So techniques to enable fast feedback loops must also be very important and in many cases feasible.
Of course the process of setting up not a skyscraper but a factory production line for a new (Japanese) car model has been hugely influential on software.
I disagree. The manifesto has made nothing better.
Godawful audio.
