Salesforce Developer Carbon Dashboard
In multi-tenant architectures there is a line of responsibility and feasibility for one to make changes. That is where lobbing, supplier procurement commitments and public pressure can move the needle. 'Don't wash your hands of' so quickly, that's not it. There are in fact things to account and adjust at instance level, that is OUR responsibility. Today I want to introduce you to The Salesforce Developer Carbon Dashboard

Software: Greener is Leaner & Cleaner
And THAT (chances are you are part of that 'large segment of the software-development ecosystem that cares') would be my first action oriented call for you, head over the Green Web Foundation and particularly take the course that is hosted in Linux Foundation. In essence we all are to half our emissions by 2030. Regardless of pledges, this is UN target which is legally binding. We ALL, humans, as an individual, household, hobby activity, village, city, council, county, country, industry, company, department, product, team... ain't exceptions--half our emissions in all dimensions. No small task. No time to waste. Software is everywhere. I argue is no longer 'an industry' per se, but a fabric layer of any business. The question then becomes: how to half your software emissions.

AI: don't be fooled by the "hype" that I got
Green Software Practitioners beware (& take informed decisions)
"Before you spin a lazy post or useless image, I think it is time... that at regular intervals, we pause and reflect on how to be more effective. Then tune and adjust accordingly. (rings a bell?! - Agile Manifesto) Time. Is. Now We look at: - Confronting the AI hype costs - Beyond energy & sound architectural decisions - Product Ethics - How to get into ACTION now."

The Business Case for Sustainability
and debunking top excuses
We will delve from the business case for Sustainability (& debunking top excuses) right into the responsibility in shaping efficient, modular and natural-capital aware products and systems.

Beyond the Agile Principles
Nature as a guide
Its so easy to get pigeonhole in one thing, one way of seeing, one experience, one industry, one process, one org... In this talk we are going beyond the Agile principles, I'll introduce you to Biomimicry. These principles are everywhere, you'll gain HD glasses to spot them and apply them for any design. So we can leave 'the place better than how we found it'.Understanding these natural overarching principles can really help to gain headspace and intentionally design with purpose. From solutions, to applications, integrations, coordination, communications, networks, products and beyond
