Profile Information
- What are your main interests in software development?
- I've always been a Graphic Designer, and fell into Web Design after becoming an IT Recruiter a couple years ago. When you spend as much time interviewing programmers and developers as I do, you start to put the pieces together technically. I'm currently enrolled and going back to school to finish my Bachelors in Computer Science, and hope to aquire the tools necessary to create more than just User Interfaces. I'm full of endless ideas and love creating unique user experience, but it's all nothing if you can't bring it to life and make it work. Just want to learn and build and learn and build...
- Anything else you'd like to add? Where do you live? (optional!)
- I have a Flex built site under construction --> www.david-pollock.com

By Craig RisiThe Decisions You Don't Know You're Making: QCon Keynote Explores Hidden Choices in Engineering
Engineering teams make their most consequential decisions not in architecture reviews or sprint planning, but through invisible choices embedded in metrics, defaults, and everyday behaviors. In their QCon San Francisco 2025 keynote, Shawna Martell and Dan Fike challenged the industry's focus on documented decision-making while the decisions that truly shape systems and culture go unrecognized.
