The Beauty of Imperfection: Wabi-Sabi for Web Developers
Eileen Fürstenau

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.

During her studies Eileen Fürstenau discovered her enthusiasm for technology, innovation and programming. After a few years in larger corporations such as Continental and IBM, she moved to the IT service provider MaibornWolff. Today, she works there as a software engineer in agile teams designing various digital products.

From here to resilience - a travel guide
Uwe Friedrichsen

Resilience is an important issue these days. Many companies claim to have a resilient IT, very few have one. What does it mean to be resilient? How do I get there? How can I figure out where I currently am? How can I improve? We will look at several gradations of becoming resilient. We will examine their properties and tradeoffs and how to get there. We will discuss what we can achieve at an IT system level and when we need to address the whole socio-technical system. At the end of the session, we will have drawn a map from here to resilience you can use as a travel guide towards your resilient IT.
