In this opening keynote from Devoxx Greece 2025, Kevlin Henney explores the concept of finding joy in the present moment of software development rather than postponing happiness to some future milestone. Discover how the continuous nature of software development means that the journey itself is the destination, with one release inevitably leading to work on the next. Examine the passions, frustrations, myths, and realities that shape developers' relationships with technology and practices. Learn approaches for creating a more enjoyable present experience in daily work, challenging the assumption that fun must be deferred until after completing tasks, sprints, or major releases. Consider how today's decisions affect not only future work satisfaction but also how past decisions may have already diminished potential joy in current projects.
