Web Team Lead & Full-Stack Developer
Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication
Sefi Eini & Yariv Gdidi
Complex problems call for complex solutions, right? Well, Finding solutions to problems is a part of all of our daily work. What's not clear (sometimes) is how to choose the right solution in an informed manner. This talk is an eye-opening to finding the simplest solution to the most challenging problem, ones that consider the impact, time, and risk management.
