Important talk. The bad stuff may be less obvious than the 30% gray font example, though. Domain knowledge is vital, or you as a coder may end up implementing dark patterns without even realising it. Demand domain knowledge and understanding as a prerequisite to work. Consider any attempts to separate implementors from domain knowledge suspicious.
From my experience programmers intentionally do not suggest new functionality to the customer because they are scared of the additional work without potentially higher pay. They say "You cannot ask the customer if he wants a specific new feature, because he will want it. He will want everything you offer."
This talk went down hill very fast. I feel like I have lost a lot of respect for Martin Fowler, his technology talks are sound but when he started talking about "white privileged" he lost me.
I am quite sure you misunderstood the point and got triggered by some words out of context. He was actually arguing AGAINST prejudice and discrimination. He used the "priviliged" word as a description OTHER people use when talking about "white guys". The point he wanted to get through was that people who are not being discriminated should not turn a blind eye towards discrimination and stop being oblivious towards it.
@@hawksvk1711 If it was only about "AGAINST prejudice and discrimination" it would be ok, but he specified groups. And it seeems that politics/companies can't be "AGAINST prejudice and discrimination" and always find a groups to be privilleged and second group to be discriminated.

Nice talk. But he wouldn't have to use a mic at all, right? I GUESS HES LOUD ENOUGH! :)

Martin Fowler is like the sane version of Richard Stallman
Really great talk
great talk
"Presentation Title" LOL
BillGates did not like this :P Martin should be the Billionaire .... but he is not because he is a man of principles
Too bad he became so political in the second half. "Privileged white men" blablabla
Yeah, and how it changed since that talk? Discrimination aganist white men

@@hawksvk1711 Nope, pretty sure that I understood his point, and was not "triggered" .
@@YisraelDovL oh, so you are one of those people.
