Description:

(or what my kids, kinder-garden teacher, roomba cleaner and a carpenter taught me about making software)

Agile practices don't come from nothing. The reason they work is because there are other actions which we do every day which resemble them, and they work as well.

During the speech I'll tell you something about my life and how that maps into agile practices. I'll show you how observing and learning from great ideas from other fields than software can help in becoming a better developer. I'll touch the subject of software craftsmanship and why it makes a difference.
