You Gotta Think – Part 1 of 2

Philip and Fred discussing why we need to think when we work with reliability in a light hearted discussion that topics like the speed of light, way back when in physics class, spinning hands, Ben Franklin, Super conducting submarine engines, keyboard jockey’s blind bliss, plug-n-chug – Spec & Dump, Universities role in teaching thinking.

Today’s reliable software, using the right tool for the right job, balancing today’s dynamic workload, water fountain statistical process control, the value of a great mentor, and social invisibility.

Key Points

Join Philip and Fred as they discuss a range of topics related to the central point that we need to think when we work with reliability and cannot blindly accept a software result.

Topics include:

  • 10 Hazards and Traps for the keyboard jockey to fall into
  • Social Invisibility and Problem solving
  • The sustaining value of a great work place mentor
