Hi,
I just wanted to share with you a bit of a different
perspective on what we do around here.
Over the past half a year I gave several talks to some
1k technical people at industrial events like ArchConf,
NDC Oslo and several others. The tour will continue this
year at OOP, ArchConf and a couple of other places.
These are places where people talk about mainstream
techniques & technologies (like Java, JS, C#). For
example, ArchConf is a premier software architecture
conference in the US.
During these sessions, people get to experience Moose
and Pharo through live demos. I use these demos as
examples of how humane assessment (building your own
analysis tools) can boost engineering decisions making
in practice.
I consistently receive the feedback that the live
programming possibilities from Pharo/Moose are
impressive. But, more recently, there is something else
worthy of being noted. If in previous years, nobody
heard about what we do, this year I started to get
consistently a couple of persons in the room that have
heard something about Pharo/Moose before the
presentation.
This is huge. While a couple might not sound like much,
you should remember that information (especially in this
technical space) has the capability of spreading
exponentially. What we have done over the past years
starts to show results. We have to keep it up.
Happy New Year!
Cheers,
Doru
