Hi David,

Thanks for your response.

I do agree with you. It is completely true that it wasn’t anything new to people who have been following the way software development has been going in the last 10 years. Unfortunately, I still do come across companies that don’t know these things. I found that the talk highlighted some of the concepts that are completely obvious to us but still good to see the way it was presented especially for the times when I have to bring up these points to some of my clients.

I went to Ivar’s talk at EclipseWorld on the same topic. I was hoping to hear something new, something revolutionary, something to deserve the ++.

Instead I heard a talk that would have been good a decade ago, but wasn’t anything new today.

Ivar is a smart, and brilliant man – but for most people who have kept up with where technology is today, much of what was discussed was what we practice every day.
