"It is no secret that the latest SARS outbreak has reshaped the world of work. Particularly in software engineering: where the work can be done anywhere with an internet connection so codes can be pasted from Stack Overflow, and the practitioners generally have a dislike of meetings. Your average software engineer would rather build the wrong thing for eight hours in a flow state, than have a 15-minute conversation in which they find out what direction they should go."

"Many professions can be recognized through dress codes. Doctors and nurses wear aprons. Police officers wear uniforms. Tennis players in Wimbledon must dress in white. Astronauts wear space suits. Dominatrices wear black latex catsuits. The Swiss Guard in the Vatican wears the same outfit since the 16th century. Soccer players have matching kits. Wolverine fights evil in yellow spandex. Software developers wear the t-shirts they got for free at the last conference."

The SgmlReader NuGet package for #dotnet is a less known but great alternative to AngleSharp or HtmlAgilityPack if you need to parse HTML. It converts (almost) any HTML to valid XML that you can then query or manipulate with the well-known XmlDocument class.

"Jim Coplien ends his talk with a simple call to action: at every conference where new technology is introduced, software engineers should strive to be skeptical; to ask whether it improves the quality of life of society as a whole, and to take it home only to increase the human value of our products and services.
Focus on the people. Again and again. Because that is what Agile and OOP were all about, to begin with."
