The Beauty of Imperfection: Wabi-Sabi for Web Developers

The Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi celebrates the beauty of imperfection. I will explore how applying such principles to software engineering projects can enhance the outcomes. Using the relaunch of my client's content-driven website as a case study, I will demonstrate how an open and positive attitude, combined with flexibility and a readiness to embrace unconventional methods, has led to better results. The aim of this talk is to enable project team members to confidently navigate the complexities of IT projects, from greenfield beginnings to setting standards around aspects like accessibility, design-to-code, and testing.
