Scala eXchange 2012: Viktor Klang on Akka: Evolving a Scala project successfully
Akka: Evolving a Scala project successfully
The process of software maintenance starts just after the very first bits of code have been written. Lets face it, very few of us like chasing bugs, reading pasta code, finding inconsistencies in how things are built, not feeling confident in our modifications and having none or broken documentation. As a software project grows, and time passes, it is very common for bugs to be harder to find, changes to be harder to make, and new features harder to integrate.

But there are ways to avoid or reduce this problem, by focusing on creating value right from the beginning, instead of spending time on chasing bugs and increasing the technical debt towards the end. In this talk, Viktor will explore what has shown to work for us at the Akka project, and what that means in practice.
