A code review is basically a technical discussion which should lead to improvements in the code and/or sharing
knowledge in a team. As with any conversation, it should have substance and form.
What’s involved in a good code review? What kind of problems do we want to spot and address? Trisha Gee will talk
about things a reviewer may consider when looking at changes: what potential issues to look for; why certain
patterns may be harmful; and, of course, what NOT to look at.
But when it comes to commenting on someone’s work, it may be hard to find the right words to convey a useful message
without offending the authors - after all, this is something that they worked hard on. Maria Khalusova will share
some observations, thoughts and practical tricks on how to give and receive feedback without turning a code review
into a battlefield.
Presentation given at GOTO Chicago that looks at why we don't like to write tests and one approach to improving automated tests that was taken by the MongoDB Java Driver team.

Abstract: Open source programming is professionally and personally rewarding, but many people are intimidated by the barriers to entry and the field's reputation for hostility to newcomers, especially members of marginalized groups. As a computer science professor at a minority-serving women's college, I have countered this by guiding students, as part of their required coursework, to learn and apply the necessary skills to make contributions to open source projects. I will share what I have learned over the years about breaking down the barriers to help other educators, mentors, and open source practitioners increase participation.

Patterns for Collaboration: Toward Whole-Team QualityTechWell
A lot of talk goes on in agile about how collaboration among team members helps drive a shared responsibility for quality—and more. However, most teams don't do much more than just hold stand-up meetings and have programmers and testers sit together. Although these practices improve communications, they are not collaboration! Most teams simply don't understand how to collaborate. Janet Gregory and Matt Barcomb guide you through hands-on activities that illustrate collaboration patterns for programmers and testers, working together. They briefly review the acceptance test-driven development process, then illustrate what programmers should know about testing—and what testers should know about programming—to effectively create whole-team quality. Janet and Matt conclude with visual management techniques for joint quality activities and discuss the shift in the product owner role regarding release quality. Leave with new ideas about collaboration to take back to your organization and make whole-team responsibility for quality a reality.
Many developers used to believe that class-free, lean markup and descendant selectors were the answer. Many developers still build websites for a single resolution, or a small range of devices. However, these practices are now being questioned. Where do we stand? What is best practice web development today? Russ Weakley will explore these topics and more... or possibly less...

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
