Whether ‘tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous configuration
Or to take arms against a sea of exceptions, and, by coding, end them.
Join Olena Grischenko and Leon Tribe as they address the eternal dilemma of when to configure and when to code. Coming from both ends of the coding spectrum, Leon will talk about when he has abandoned configuration and resorted to code, and Olena will talk about when configuration was a better option than development. They will show that the decision goes beyond functionality and just because a tool can solve a problem does not mean it should.
