Keynote 3: The Zen of Programming
summary
Argues for small steps: adopt continuous delivery and trunk-based development backed by heavy unit tests (examples show ~95% coverage and ~1,500 tests) so changes land safely; reports a rebuilt e-commerce platform that wins Website of the Year; runs ~150 small repositories and microservices, one login service handles ~68,000 logins/min on a single instance; favors TypeScript/Node examples, test-first design, keeping functions tiny and postponing costly architectural choices until the last responsible moment.
