Digital Whiteboarding for Developers
Susan Fung

Before the pandemic, whiteboards were everywhere. Now that we are remote, where did they go? Let's talk about how they help us sync and why we still need them. Learn tips and tricks on how to use virtual whiteboards in virtual offices.

In this talk, we will show techniques to quickly sketch out visualizations of coding problems and complex system architectures using online platforms such as Miro, Mural, and more. These tools aid in understanding problems, solving problems, and most importantly, explaining problems to the rest of your company. Discover the extraordinary power of visualizing your code, a transformative element in tech discussions, presentations, and beyond.

Join us for an engaging and humorous journey into the world of mob programming and Terraform mastery. In this talk, we'll explore how a seemingly simple task turned into a four-month odyssey for Homero, a software developer looking for a simple ticket. Discover how his solo struggle with a two-line code change blossomed into a team-wide learning experience.

Through the power of mob programming, our team transformed individual expertise into collective knowledge, tackling complex Terraform tasks together. We'll share the highs and lows, the laughs and lessons, and how we condensed months of learning into just one week. If you are looking to enhance your team's collaboration, this talk will provide valuable insights and practical tips.
