"Uncle" Bob Martin - "The Future of Programming"

Caption notes

In this talk uploaded in 2016, Robert C. Martin traces a professional history through early computers, batch work and the agile movement. He uses it to ask what responsibilities software practitioners should take on. He frames testing, refactoring and continuous integration as engineering commitments and criticizes adopting meetings and planning routines while dropping technical practices. He closes by considering software’s role in daily life and safety-related systems, calling for common professional principles and imagining stronger external regulation if the profession fails to govern itself. This guide presents his experience, proposals and predictions. Historical figures, accident attribution and regulatory judgments await independent verification.
