NewCrafts Conference

Here's a taste of the NewCrafts experience from 2019 that's still sparking creativity today. Let it energise your Wednesday! 🎬

This talk with Carola Lilienthal & Henning Schwentner will equip participants with practical strategies to address common challenges, such as BBOM architecture, anemic domain models, and disorganized teams. By the end of the session, attendees will have a catalog of proven refactorings, actionable heuristics, and concrete tools to immediately evolve their own projects. 🎬

Wednesday wisdom time! Take a moment to watch this timeless NewCrafts highlight from 2019. Great insights never go out of style—perfect fuel for your midweek momentum! ▶️

Every adoption of every practice runs in similar patterns of problems of fetishisation, dogmatism, mechanical application, silver bullets and nihilism. Every maturity model starts as a description of what people do and becomes a prescription of needs to be done. 🎬 Let's explore the common thread of those and the fact that hotel rooms usually lack toothbrushes with Romeu Moura:

Midweek motivation! Here's a NewCrafts moment from 2019 that remains as relevant today as ever. Let it inspire you through the rest of your week! 🎬

This talk by Shana Dacres-Lawrence will guide your thinking on how to uphold both security and architecture without betraying either. We will explore methods to ensure they remain consistent, coherent, and complementary, supporting each other in achieving the desired outcomes and safeguarding against the destruction of both. 🎬

Wednesday treat alert! We've selected this NewCrafts moment from 2019 to boost your midweek with fresh ideas and good vibes. Some wisdom is timeless—enjoy! 🎬

In this talk, Nicole van der Hoeven discusses the different types of AI, the factors that make observing AI different from observing applications, and the telemetry signals specific to AI that we might want to listen to. How do we deal with large data sets? How do we observe for model drift? How do we take into account the costs of LLMs? How can we use distributed tracing to follow event sequences? Part cautionary tale and part technical demo, this talk shows how to instrument and monitor AI apps using OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, OpenLit, and more. 🎬

Midweek pause—revisit this NewCrafts gem from 2019 whose insights are still shaping how we think today. The perfect Wednesday pick-me-up! ▶️

Technical coaches help software developers to adopt better coding practices. The focus is on the code and the way it is being written, encouraging for example Test-Driven Development, Refactoring and the use of Design Patterns. Coaches contribute to the success of an individual or team through facilitating, mentoring and teaching, and they do not usually write production code or tests directly. Perhaps you work in an organisation where you’d like to encourage better technical practices and are unsure how to get started, or have already begun some technical coaching activities and would like to find out how to take the next steps in your career. This talk by Emily Bache will outline some common paths into technical coaching, what benefits you could expect, and where you can get help and support in your journey. 🎬
