\u00c1lex Fern\u00e1ndez<\/strong> is a senior developer at Devo, a thriving Spanish company that collects huge amounts of data<\/span> and keeps it in a searchable format for its customers. At a time when the collection and storage of data<\/span> is a hot topic, the company<\/span> is undergoing an impressive international expansion.<\/p>\n

With more than 20 years of experience<\/span> in the software industry<\/strong>, \u00c1lex is the ideal person to have around as the company<\/span> progresses.<\/p>\n

\u00c1lex will deliver a very interesting speech<\/span> during Codemotion Madrid 2019<\/strong>, titled Artificial Stupidity<\/em>. He will examine a few of the many failures<\/span> of Artificial Intelligence<\/span><\/strong>, just to show how far we are still from actual smart behaviours. You can find more information about his talk by checking this page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00c1lex was also interviewed during Codemotion Berlin 2018, when he illustrated an update with numbers and references to convince the audience members and their bosses to implement reviews as a crucial step in their development process<\/strong>. He also strongly advocates mixing up different skill levels at work to get the best out of all employees.<\/p>\n

“People always say you should pair a junior programmer<\/span> with a senior programmer<\/span>. That way, you are mixing experience<\/span> with freshness and you are educating the junior.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
