General
- Began with a survey of how long people have been using Java. A lot of people at 25+ years and a small bunch for all 29 years! (Java turns 30 next year)
- Tech we have now used to be impossible – ex: phone
- Sci fi shows what possible
- Trap : “move fast and break things” At a point, speed causes harm. Remember the user experience
- If long out window on train, goes by too fast. But if look farher out, can see. Need to look beyond that window
- People first. Technology second. Remember the users.
- Avoid “get shit done”. Innovation in of itsel is not innovating. What purpose if not helpfu
- What power do you have in your environment. One person can do a lot.
- Need to prepare next generation befoe age out
