That was a very interesting conference, lots to learn and new encounters. The R&E community doesn’t face the same challenges as the general tech industry. But I think sharing more experience between the two would be useful.
Keep an eye on the presentations when they’ll be published. A lot of them are worth watching. The conference value lies in the networking though.
Changing context can be useful sometimes. Let’s see what there is to learn here.
This week, I heard it was mentioned by Shaun Lewis from O’Reilly Media in a #LeadDev session on measuring performance in teams.

It stopped me for a second. Not in a “look what I built” way, more in a “this is actually landing with people” way.

So many speakers at #LeadDev #LDX3 shared links to look into later, and I've found many more when I started following those up.
This post should be handy for me to keep track of them all, and for anyone else who might like to see if anything grabs them. Enjoy!
I went to London for LDX3 in June 2025. This brought 3 other conferences together for the first time (LeadDev, StaffPlus and LeadingEng) into one huge conference with lots of tracks, activities and attendees. I came away with a long list of links to look into later. This post should be handy for me to […]
