"AI Startup Growth from Idea to 1M ARR", Oleksandr Uspenskyi

I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

In my talk, I will tell about the world of GenAI services beyond GPT-wrappers and how we developed and scaled GenAI-centric applications. I'll share personal experiences about the obstacles, lessons, and strategic tools and methodologies that were key in taking GenAI applications from 0 to 1. I'll talk about the challenges we faced when launching LLM-based and image generative applications and delivering them to end users, and what conclusions and solutions were made.

"LLMs for Python Engineers: Advanced Data Analysis and Semantic Kernel",Oleks...

Fwdays

Python engineers are introduced to the transformative potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) in the realm of advanced data analysis and the application of Semantic Kernel techniques. We will talk about how LLMs like ChatGPT can be integrated into Python environments to automate data processing, enhance predictive modeling, and unlock deeper insights from complex datasets. The session will delve into practical strategies for embedding Semantic Kernel methods within Python projects, illustrating how these advanced techniques can refine the accuracy of machine learning models by embedding domain-specific knowledge directly into the analysis process. Attendees will leave with a clear roadmap for leveraging the combined power of LLMs and Semantic Kernels, equipped with actionable knowledge to drive innovation in their data analysis projects and beyond, marking a significant leap forward in the evolution of Python engineering practices.

Ever seen a code base where understanding a simple method meant jumping through tangled class hierarchies? We all have! And while "Favor composition over inheritance!" is almost as old as object-oriented programming, strictly avoiding all types of subclassing leads to verbose, un-Pythonic code. So, what to do? The discussion on composition vs. inheritance is so frustrating because far-reaching design decisions like this can only be made with the ecosystem in mind – and because there's more than one type of subclassing! Let's take a dogma-free stroll through the types of subclassing through a Pythonic lens and untangle some patterns and trade-offs together. By the end, you'll be more confident in deciding when subclassing will make your code more Pythonic and when composition will improve its clarity.

"Distributed graphs and microservices in Prom.ua", Maksym Kindritskyi

Fwdays

The current architecture of Prom.ua is built on microservices and GraphQL API, but it was not always like that. In this talk, I'll tell you how far we've come and how we've made using graphs in a microservice architecture convenient and simple. I will talk about the problems we faced and how we overcame them, made our development process more accessible, deployments faster, and the remains of the monolith less loaded.

Fwdays

ETL stands for extract, transform, load. It's a process that combines data from different sources into a single repository for further processing, analysis, and utilization. This talk provides an example of how pandas can be used to solve ETL tasks as a stage in the evolution of the data intake component. This involves preliminary validation, filtering, and conversion of data according to a set of business rules and internal representation, with intermediate combination with other sources.

"4 horsemen of the apocalypse of working relationships (+ antidotes to them)"...

Fwdays

This talk will reveal four destructive communication patterns that can undermine team spirit, reduce productivity and cause conflict, and offer effective strategies for neutralizing them. Let's start with exciting storytelling about a fictional team of developers working on Scrum. You will learn about situations that their team member noticed during team meetings. Next, we will analyze "The Gottman Four Horsemen" model, which describes the four "horsemen of the apocalypse" of work relationships: criticism, defensiveness, contempt, and stonewalling. For each of these patterns, specific "antidotes" will be offered that allow you to build healthier and more productive relationships in the team. Finally, we'll look at why this topic is critical to team productivity, drawing on Google's "Project Aristotle" research. Special attention will be paid to the concept of psychological safety, which is a key factor in the success of high-performance teams. This talk will not only provide valuable insights and tools for improving communication and management in Tech teams, but will also help each member better understand their own contribution to the overall success of the team.

Fwdays

We are all living in exceptionally turbulent times. Ukrainians are facing numerous crises and challenges, ranging from war to lay-offs. Work provides us with a sense of stability, which many of us deeply value and strive to maintain. However, there are times when we may not realize that our workload becomes overwhelming or that the stress we experience in our jobs becomes highly toxic. This often leads to burnout. During our discussion, we will cover: - The factors that contribute to burnout; - How to identify it; - Short-term strategies for addressing it; - Long-term approaches to finding fulfillment and satisfaction in our work; I will also share my personal experiences and insights, as well as those of my colleagues in the IT field. - Burnout - Stress

Fwdays

Historically, Ukrainians are not good at presenting themselves (read: selling) because they are not self-confident. But we were never taught to be confident or to understand our strengths, moreover to pitch ourselves well in 3 minutes at an interview. Therefore, my task is to teach you in a few minutes how to: Create your personal pitch correctly (sales points, structure) Understand, depending on the type of company, what managers want to hear about you at the interview Be able to package irrelevant or no experience Understand your strengths Create an example of a personal pitch No, there will be no information here on how to get more $ at the interview, but it's not sure 😂

"How to tame the dragon, or leadership with imposter syndrome", Oleksandr Zin...

Fwdays

Imposter syndrome is a psychological phenomenon that most of us suffer from to one degree or another. I'm no exception and have faced this for most of my IT career, which has been around 10 years. I did not immediately understand that the impostor syndrome is one of the biggest blockers for my personal and career development. When I understood it, I gradually started, with small and large steps, fighting with a syndrome in all available ways. In my talk, I will share my story and how it helped me grow from an ordinary developer to a team leader and, eventually, the leader of the entire department.
