The demands, techniques, paradigms and languages of modern software development have been changing at an ever increasing pace. This has left many software engineers bewildered, confused and feeling like they’re never going to be able to keep up, let alone be good enough! In the Java/JVM space there is a lot of tooling, libraries and APIs available to try and bridge the gaps of TDD, BDD, CI, Build, Static Code Analysis and so forth, but so many, many challenges still remain, like developing with RxJava e.g.
“Rx.Observable.prototype.flatMapLatest(selector, [thisArg])
Projects each element of an observable sequence into a new sequence of observable sequences by incorporating the element’s index and then transforms an observable sequence of observable sequences into an observable sequence producing values only from the most recent observable sequence.”
WAT? Err get me out of here…..
The Diabolical Developer will take you through a journey of what problems are deemed to be ‘solved’, what problems are currently being worked on and the gaps that are likely to remain (which he fervently hopes you’re going to solve for him). He’ll share his dystopian view of the future where the modern challenges are tackled by sharp tools and clever thinking.
