Talk: Application Code vs Library Code 

Are you overengineering your application code? In this talk, Anders explores one of the most common pitfalls in software development: applying library design patterns where they don't belong.

Drawing on his extensive experience building and maintaining libraries with millions of downloads – including Sustainsys.Saml2 – Anders shares real-world examples of what it actually takes to make a library reusable, and why you shouldn't bring that extra complexity into your application code.

The takeaway? You might be able to remove 30% of your code – and end up with something that's easier to maintain.
