How do you balance code and design, pragmatic and conceptual? If you’re a designer, do you really want to sit through a bunch of talks about code? Thx @bdconf! Optimistic energy.

You work on big long-pole features that require multiple years of development by making a release big enough to cover the necessary development time, then try to stop working on new features entirely while stabilizing the release (a big join point).
