[Staff-Plus Engineer Path]( By [Fabiane Nardon]( [QCon London 2022 and QCon Plus May 2022 Track Host, Data Scientist, Java Champion & CTO @tail_oficia]( “We’re going to talk about the path when you want to stay on the technical ladder, and not become a manager. Everybody, at some point, has to decide if they want to become a manager or stay on the technical path. Usually companies have a very clear technical path. But for many companies, this is still not clear. For many developers or technical professionals, they have to choose to become managers if they want to have better compensation, or to have more decision power. The problem the industry faces at the moment is we don't have enough technical professionals, and this is happening all over the world. Why are we getting our more experienced professionals and making them become managers, just to have better compensation, when what we need is these professionals to stay in the technical path so they can help to advance the industry.”[Watch the full interview.]( [Fabiane Nardon] Fabiane Nardon QCon London 2022 and QCon Plus May 2022 Track Host, Data Scientist, Java Champion & CTO @tail_oficia [Resilient Architectures]( By [Nicki Watt]( [QCon London 2022 and QCon Plus May 2022 Track Host, CTO/CEO @OpenCredo]( In this track we will explore why architecting for resilience is important and what it takes to do this well. We will be looking at this from both a technology perspective and well as a human one, diving into some specific technologies and approaches which can help like continuous verification, but also exploring how good patterns, approaches and retrospective reflections can help to move towards systems that resist falling over, can recover gracefully when they do, or if it really goes wrong, help you learn from it and adapt for the future. “The track is about how to architect for resilience and how to do this well. What happens when things go wrong? Is your system able to actually recover from failures or cannot resist falling over in the first place? Or if it does really go wrong, what can you learn from that so you can be better in the future? It’s about trying to make sure that your systems do actually stand the test of time but also the tests of failures coming from unexpected places.” [Watch the full interview.]( [Nicki Watt] Nicki Watt QCon London 2022 and QCon Plus May 2022 Track Host, CTO/CEO @OpenCredo [Modern Data Pipelines & DataMesh]( By [Adi Polak]( [QCon London 2022 and QCon Plus May 2022 Track Host, and VP of DevEx @Treeverse]( In this track, you will learn about processes and best practices for complex data systems- the good, the bad, and the hopefully bright future. Join us as we explore the data mesh, data lifecycle management, and modern data pipelines paradigms and walk away with actionable best practices to improve both your data product and the lives of your colleagues. “I believe data systems are going through rapid transformation, we see a lot of new open source, a lot of new tools, a lot of new concepts. We understand that the amount of data we're creating is growing because of the digitization that takes place in the world. In this track we’re going to discuss what are the paradigms and what can we do? What are the best practices and emerging technologies that can help us make it more sustainable, more reliable and basically, ease all our pain as engineers.” [Watch the full interview.]( [Adi Polak] Adi Polak QCon London 2022 and QCon Plus May 2022 Track Host, and VP of DevEx @Treeverse [Modern Java]( By [Holly Cummins]( [QCon London 2022 and QCon Plus May 2022 Track Host, and Senior Technical Staff Member & Innovation Leader @IBM]( In this track we will explore the ways modern Java can make our life better … once we know where to look. We’ll see what’s new and what’s on the horizon in the Java language. We’ll also hear from practitioners about what’s giving them headaches and, most importantly, how they fixed it. “Java is still incredibly popular in a really interesting, modern, exciting, innovative way. We're still seeing so many new things in Java and the way we use Java is changing. It's bringing in a lot of great ideas from the broader programming ecosystem to make sure that as practitioners, as users of Java, we can be as productive as we can be. It’s how do we combine those characteristics of being really ubiquitous and really stable, which are one of the reasons we love the language with a lot of the other things like the developer experience, and how do we still feel joy as users of Java?” [See the full interview.]( [Holly Cummins] Holly Cummins QCon London 2022 and QCon Plus May 2022 Track Host, and Senior Technical Staff Member & Innovation Leader @IBM The QCon Difference Here's what you can expect from QCon London: - Senior software practitioners first.
