November Meeting: Your Undead Code is a Time Vampire

Undead code, it wants to suck your time... Erik helps organizations slim down their Java codebases by identifying and deprecating code that no longer runs. Having celebrated 30 years of Java earlier this year, many apps pre-date the cloud and have undergone plenty of architectural changes over the years. Many talks focus on how to build features, this one will do the opposite: how can you watch an application run, figure out what doesn't run, and declutter your own code. As a result of removing code, your team will spend less time on maintenance, remove flakey tests, and focus more on feature work that actually matters.
