Beyond Coding

Designing Systems, Strategy & Impact in Technology Leadership

The move from developer to architect is less about writing more code and more about how you think. This session covers the habits behind that shift: thinking in systems instead of features, making trade-offs you can defend for your context, and leading without authority. An interactive exercise shows why components that work in isolation still need a system around them, and the talk closes with three moves to try this week. Delivered to 165 registrants from the AnitaB.org global technical community.
