So long, and thanks for all the fish - The farewell tour

On November 27 and 28, I went to the XP Days Benelux conference. This blog post is a short recap of all the things I learned.

In this first post, I’m sharing my notes and reflections from the session “So Long, and thanks for all the fish - The farewell tour" by Ron Eringa, Paul Kuijten, and Dajo Breddels. The session explored the question of whether the Agile movement has run its course: been there, done that, got the T-shirt. With the Agile label losing some of its shine, the facilitators invited us to properly say goodbye to what no longer serves us, and to salvage the practices and principles still worth keeping.

The goal of the session was simple but important: take stock. Is Agile dead? And if not, how do we move forward?

DevOpsDays Eindhoven 2023

It was on my radar last year, but I decided not to go, but to go to Techorama instead. But, after hearing good stories about the first edition of the DevOpsDays Eindhoven, I decided to skip Techorama and go to the DevOpsDays Eindhoven 2023.

In this post, I will explain what the DevOpsDays are, and share some of my learnings. I hope you will enjoy it and, maybe, I might inspire you to join me next year!
