"Friday Keynote: The team with 30 million players" - Laura Bell (Kiwi Pycon XI)

(Laura Bell) Facing a global pandemic has been (and continues to be) an incredibly challenging period. There are very few people who have not seen dramatic impacts on their lives as a result.

While we as humans have been facing this struggle, a similar problem has been emerging in our software development community. Not only are we finding more vulnerabilities in our software than ever, but those weaknesses have been affecting a larger proportion of our software ecosystem.Are there lessons we can take from the last few years and the changes we have made to protect people from a pandemic and apply them to our software ecosystem? I believe there are.

In this talk, we will look at how the relationships between software projects improve our world whilst also making us vulnerable. We will do this by diving into the structures between codebases and looking at how these affect the risk faced by our people, data, and systems.

We will then take a look at the harm that has been caused (and could yet be caused) by exploiting this ecosystem and the steps we can take to reduce this risk and increase the resilience of all our systems — steps that mirror the hard lessons we have learned as humans over the past few years. These steps include:

Tracing: Awareness of our software coupling and interconnectivity
Distancing: Architectural patterns for maintaining safe distances between components and systems
Testing: Reduction of risk through the use of manual and automated tools
Prevention: Through the use of patches and updates
Response: Preparing to respond when a problem happens.
