We all love problem solving, but leave me in a room without one and I'll eat the couch. This talk will provide you with some practical tips for designing better software. It will cover a range of areas including product discovery, architecture, design and a code example. Recently I've worked with a number of software teams in Perth and spoken with many companies about how they're building software. We've come a long way since waterfall and we now have some new problems. This is a good thing, we've made progress! But we still have a long way to go. These tips will help alleviate some of these common problems. I hope there will be a little bit in here for everyone.
