Titus Winters

Titus Winters, Senior Principal Scientist at Adobe and former Google engineer, dives into optimizing software value. He argues that humans should only be involved in the creative development phase, labeling the deployment phase as pure toil. Winters introduces a framework dividing software into three stages: creative development, factory-like deployment, and operational maintenance. He also discusses the importance of quantifying the costs of software defects and the critical need for organizations to understand the balance between developer productivity and effective platformization.
