Short description (EN)

Working directly on main - sounds pretty scary, right? 👻
How should we control people without pull requests and asynchronous, time consuming and inefficient reviews? How can we keep the code quality high, without humbling others for using our least favorite kind of for-loop? 🤔

In this talk we will solve the mysteries of Trunk-Based-Development. Let’s discover why the old ways of software development are outdated as dial-up internet. Learn to code with swag by using Feature Flags, Dark Launches, synchronous code reviews and Pair-/ Mob-Programming, to dodge the feature branch drama bullet! 🚀
