Learn about leadership and observability at LeadDev NYC

Leon Adato, a Developer Relations Engineer at New Relic, shares his anticipation for attending the LeadDev NYC event from April 5-7, following a hiatus from in-person events due to the global pandemic. He reflects on his excitement about returning to New York City, reconnecting with colleagues, and exploring diverse kosher cuisine. The event is packed with workshops and sessions aimed at various levels of practitioners, covering topics like observability in microservice architectures, software estimation, supporting junior developers, and improving on-call systems, with a notable session on Capuchin monkeys and team management. Adato, a self-described junior developer at 54, highlights the significance of structuring teams to foster the growth of new developers, emphasizing that being "junior" is a temporary phase. He invites attendees to visit the New Relic booth for demos and discussions, while also noting the range of his extensive IT experience and the views expressed being his own, separate from New Relic's official stance.
