Kodsnack 558 - Software outlives you, with Na'Tosha Bard

Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2023 just after her keynote, Fredrik chats to Na’Tosha Bard about picking good building blocks, getting products done, and code outliving you.

Software outlives you. How early is it meaningful to consider that fact?

Will we get better at handling long-lived software?

Make tradeoffs with open eyes.

Na’Tosha has worked on many different levels of hardware and software, as well as many different levels in organizations - what can be picked up from the various levels?
