hack.summit() was held in early December 2014. It was a virtual conference where you could attend from home and view everything over the internet. I was unable to view it while it was underway, but there is a playlist of the sessions available on YouTube. I have been catching up on the sessions in my spare time. There are several sessions that I would recommend:
- Reuven Lerner’s presentation comparing Ruby and Python
- Alex Gaynor’s presentation on Code Review
- Kimber Lockhart’s presentation on Inheriting Bad Code
- Yehuda Katz’s presentation on Indie OSS. (I think several of his suggestions can be applied to any project, not just OSS.)
- Floyd Marinescu’s presentation on Running Virtual Teams
