DevTeach Vancouver

What an awesome conference!

 Smart people, good discussions, and lots of information!

 

 There were some really good sessions .... in particular David Laribee did a great DDD introduction. Although I missed the agile track I have heard also heard nothing but great things on it.

 

 

I usually try to stay on topic but here are some fun quotes:

"Software should be grown not developed, its like gardening all you can hope to do is give it the right environment to thrive" 

"I hate checked exceptions" ...

"Where is Oren when we need him", Jeremy Miller (and the follow up,
"excuse our laughter")
"I thought it was a loud cell phone", David Laribee (after the fire
alarm went off in DDD presentation)

"One drop of unverifiable code means completely unverifiable" (in
reference to my statement), Jeremy Miller

"Have you used eclipse?", all

"I know from your smirk that I should just stop now", Scott Bellware
"We need to rename spec# something better", "We need to rename you
something better too", Scott Bellware

"I spend 45 minutes a day waiting on visual studio" (not memorable for
content but for the sickness of measuring) Ayende
"He writes bad things about Microsoft on his anonymous blog", "No
that's my regular blog" (unnamed)

"Phase 1 collect underpants, Phase 3 profit", me
"Is granville still open?", everyone

I don't have anything interesting to say about cell phones, prepaid plans, or gadgets, but I did enjoy your presentation! Good Job!
