The Pragmatic Programmer is a collection of ideas, observations, and recommendations for software developers. Throughout the book, they highlight these notions in a set of numbered tips, about 70 of them, which are collected on a single tear-out card situated in the back of the book. Just reading the tips, without reading the text of the book, might make these gems seem trite, empty, and obvious. But, they're not!
VUCA-World vs. cognitive psychology: What kind of brain does a new worker nee...Johannes Moskaliuk
VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) describes the world of leadership and work today. Our brain is actually not made for this. Uncertainty leads us to make heuristic decisions (i.e. based on rules of thumb). However, if past experiences are only of limited use in predicting future developments, this leads to wrong decisions. We remain stuck in traditional patterns of behavior, leadership and decision-making and experience changes as stressful and burdensome.
What cognitive and neuropsychological insights can we use to understand - and change - human behavior and decision-making?
How can I make well-founded and goal-oriented decisions under uncertainty?
How do I deal with ambiguity and volatility?
How can I change ways of acting and thinking in order to make myself and my organization sustainable
How can I adapt my thoughts and actions to the new requirements?
The lecture gives an overview of basic findings in cognitive psychology and applies them to the challenges of a VUCA-World. It becomes clear: Our brain is not made for the world we live and work in. Therefore, concrete "New Work Hacks" are presented, which we can use to deal with volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous in work and leadership situations. A central statement of the lecture: New Work starts with myself.

What Are the Basics of Product Manager Interviews by Google PMProduct School
Ankit walked through an intro to the Product Manager role, the skills needed, and how the role differs between small and large companies. He wrapped up with some advice that's helped him in his Product Manager interviews over the years.
He gave a structured approach to thinking about what a Product Manager actually does (structured, meaning no "top 10" lists) and what are the skills you need to do well as a Product Manager.
Pin the tail on the metric v01 2016 octSteven Martin
This presentation takes a different approach to metrics. Instead of listing the Top 10 field-tested metrics, we first talk about goals as prerequisites for metrics. Next, we discuss characteristics of good and bad metrics. We end with walking through an activity called “Pin the Tail on the Metric,” a technique to facilitate the critical thinking needed to determine what types of metrics can help your organization discuss trade-offs, options, and ultimately make better forward-looking decisions.

Tenants for Going at DevSecOps Speed - LASCON 2023Matt Tesauro
You’re tasked with ‘doing DevSecOps’ for your company and you’ve got more apps and issues than you know how to deal with. How do you make sense of the different tool outputs for all your different apps let alone shrink the pile of work already on your plate? In this talk, we’ll discuss the key decision points and requirements to set up a program that moves as fast as it needs to without your team burning out. Learn how to keep moving forward while keeping your sanity.
After learning to be nimble from dealing with teams that are doing 75 production deployments per week, the surviving ideas have been distilled into a collection of tenants. We’ll cover: How to handle CI/CD tests versus traditional security assessments? How to best manage SLAs? How to keep data for auditors and regulatory requirements while also doing continuous testing? Understanding health checks versus continuous testing versus manual testing. How to deal with false positives, risk acceptances and the lifecycle of a security issue? By using these tenants, security assessments at one company grew from 44 to 414 in 2 years or 9.4 times all while losing some headcount. Time to turn chaos into calm and distress into success.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

its external outputs
What is Observability?
7. Observable systems allow humans to:
● Answer the question “Is it working properly?”
● Diagnose the scope of impact
● Identify what is going wrong
What is Observability?
8. Observable systems not only have the data
available to understand them, but the data is
accessible, explorable, and understandable in a
fast, user-friendly manner.

14. Observability Driven Development
Using real production data to decide what to build, and
then validating and verifying that you shipped what you’ve
meant to ship, and it had the impact you desired, using
real production data in real time
(Charity Majors)
17. Infrastructure
Is something missing in our infrastructure?
It's up to us to make it happen!
If you found yourself implementing something new:
● Spread to word
● Can you invest time to enable it for other teams?
● Could it be in some way open sourced?

19. Tools of the trade
Are you covering all the important endpoints?
Do you mark deployments in your graphs?
Your logs tells a story? Are they beneficial?
The important context is clear?
Do you know your endpoint e2e performance?
Are you leveraging synthetics?
20. Tools of the trade
Are you monitoring front end errors?
Do you have enough data in your errors to investigate?
Do you have an ops channel? Too much clutter?
What about smart links to quickly investigate issues?
Do you spread breadcrumbs that would help others?
Ever watched an error scenario in full story?
Used advanced filters like friction or css selector?
21. Tools of the trade
Know by heart your most important KPIs?
Do you have TV next to your station?
Every tool is a micro-cosmos: improve steady & slowly
23. Playbook
Scenario #1
...In your next meeting, the PM presents a new
requirement
Ask First:
● Which metrics this requirement is trying to improve?
● If none-existent, can we add these metrics now to
validate the KPI?
● If it's a requirement that arises from customer
feedback - try to find the KPI anyway
24. Playbook
Scenario #2
...In a design meeting, developer shows new system design
Ask:
● Which metrics will allow us to know the system is
doing well?
● Do we know the metrics for each part, scalewize?
If not, can we add them before we start?
● Which dashboard will help us quickly find which part is
broken?
25. Playbook
Scenario #3
...In your next sprint planning
Ask:
● Did we add time for building a dashboard?
● Do you know how to measure the tasks impact?
26. Playbook
Scenario #4
...In your next code review
Ask:
● Which metrics this change is about to impact?
● If it's a performance enhancement - do we built a
dashboard so we could see the impact?
● Are there any logs that could help us if something will
go wrong?
27. Playbook
Scenario #5
...In your next demo
● Prove the impact of the change
○ Talk about the metricKPI
○ Show a dashboardfull story
28. Playbook
Scenario #6
...after your next crisis (knocking on wood)
Ask:
● Could we proactively identified the problem?
○ If so, which dashboard alert is missing?
● Which metricslogs could have helped us during the
crisis?
● Was there anything counter-productive?
29. Playbook
Scenario #7
...next time you ignore an alert in your slack channel
Ask:
● Can we remove this alert?
○ If not, can we improve it?
○ Can we add details in order to quickly identify the
importance?
30. Playbook
Scenario #8
What about having a usage party?
Every sprint one of the team members is hosting a usage
party, and shows some interesting usage data or patterns.
You can use this meetings to check how observable your
system is, by asking questions and trying to answer them
live.
Monitoring is “known unkowns” while Observability is “unkown unkowns”
the team owns the system\project\product, so the team developers are responsible for it's health, they are on-call, and they should be able to answer anything about the system. This is not the responsibilty of devops, nor BI analysts
