Code Craftsmanship - Treating Software Development as an Art Form | Abiodun Olowode

In fast-paced development environments, the pressure to deliver functional code quickly often takes precedence over the pursuit of quality. It’s all too common to ship code that merely works—code that drives business outcomes but is non-performant, difficult to maintain, and frustrating for the team. This talk seeks to shift that mindset by emphasizing the importance of quality and craftsmanship in software development.

We’ll explore how developers can set a higher standard for themselves, creating software that is not just functional, but also elegant, maintainable, and scalable, thus benefiting both the business and the broader team.

This session will highlight the tangible benefits of this approach and provide actionable strategies and best practices to improve code quality without sacrificing business needs. Attendees will be challenged to ask themselves: “If my code were art, would it belong in The Louvre, or would it be stuck on the fridge next to the weekly shopping list?""
