Who is Doing the Work? Designing for AI across modes of interaction.ChrisNoessel
The foundational question for designing AI systems is: Who is doing the work? The human with help from the AI? Or the AI with help from the human? Once designers understand and become familiar with the differences of these modes of interaction, they can more confidently design modern systems that take advantage of AI APIs. Noessel literally wrote the book on Agentive Tech last year, and is working on the follow-up book about Assistant Tech. In this workshop participants gather into design pairs. Then short lectures explain the core concepts and start the creative ideas flowing, followed by integration exercises where participants put these ideas into action. Each team refines ideas across the day, and integrating these modes into a cohesive whole. Time allowing, teams are asked to volunteer to present the key ideas from their designs.

Leanconf 2014: the agony of lean startup by tristan kromerLeanconf
Lean startup is slowly moving beyond the buzzwords and being codified in books, templates, and Standard Operating Procedures. We're learning how to run experiments, but our teams are failing and flailing on finding a business they can actually care about. We're staring so closely at our innovation accounting dashboard that we're not only missing out on the view, but we're driving right past our goals into the ditch. Are we taking the fun and passion out of startups?
My keynote address at the Enterprise Search Summit 2011 in New York. Over the past 15 years, search got smart and we got lazy. Today, few remember what a Boolean operator is, much less hot to use one. But who really cares? When a search engine vomits thousands of results to any inane query we make, misspell, or misquote, we pat ourselves on the back for a job well done. And if we don't like these results, well, it's the search engine's fault. Perhaps we'd better create som intelligent searchers instead. It is time that we bring search users' experience expectation together with tools that will actually help them search smarter to deliver a truly intelligent search experience.

Trust Me, I'm a Designer: 9 Principles for Creative CredibilityJason CranfordTeague
A recent study by Demos (Demos.co.uk) called Truth, Lies and the Internet found that a third of teens polled in the UK believe any information they find on line is true without qualification. Even more staggering is that a 15% of that group admit to making their decision about the truthfulness of the content of a Web page based on appearance alone.
10+ Deploys Per Day: Dev and Ops Cooperation at FlickrJohn Allspaw
Communications and cooperation between development and operations isn't optional, it's mandatory. Flickr takes the idea of "release early, release often" to an extreme - on a normal day there are 10 full deployments of the site to our servers. This session discusses why this rate of change works so well, and the culture and technology needed to make it possible.

Feelin' Groovy: A Groovy Developer in the Java WorldKen Kousen

Startups primarily fail because the vision of the founders, leaders and the team does not match reality. That's why we continue with our projects independent of market fit, when the technology isn't really ready, or there are clear competitive disadvantages.
This deck introduces the idea of matching vision with reality, and outlines seven classic ways that startups fail.

What's that smell? Tidying Up our Test Code by Angie JonesSauce Labs
We are often reminded by those experienced in writing test automation that code is code. The sentiment being conveyed is that test code should be written with the same care and rigor with which production code is written.
However, many people who write test code may not have experience writing production code, so it’s not exactly clear what is meant by this sentiment. And even those who write production code find that there are unique design patterns and code smells that are specific to test code in which they are not aware.
Given a smelly test automation code base that is littered with several bad coding practices, Angie walks through each of the smells, discusses why it is considered a violation, and demonstrates a cleaner approach by refactoring the code live on stage.
Key takeaways include how to identify code smells within test code, understanding the reasons why an approach is considered problematic, and how to implement clean coding practices within test automation

Why SEO Won’t Look The Same This Time Next YearWayne Barker
It’s fair to say that it’s been a volatile and challenging last six months in the world of SEO. With AI changing all the rules, algorithms updating constantly, and SGE (Search Generative Experience) hogging the headlines, marketers have had to stay on their tippy toes in order to keep up.

Steal Like An Artist The Quentin Tarantino RemixWayne Barker
Nothing is ever truly original. Nothing.
No matter what you are working on it is always a mash up of what has come before.
This is never truer than when you are working on creative endeavours.
As digital marketers we now have to be more creative than ever.
A few years back processes ruled in SEO. Nail processes, scale that bad boy up and off you go. Success could be yours.
Problem is, things change.
Google clamped down. They made examples of people, of businesses. Collateral damage happened. That actually started to enforce what they said they would all along. They just forgot to clamp down for a decade. That stuff worked (still does in some places nudge nudge wink wink).
Collateral damage wasn’t the only by-product of the clamp down. The content marketing deluge happened. The web went from being full of hardly comprehensible spun shit to being full of hardly comprehensible human written shit (who had heard someone tell them that having a blog WAS content marketing).
Before you had to be the one with the most to win.
Now you have to stand out to win (and maybe a bit of having the most).

Roger Corman And Easy Riders. Make It Cheap And Fail FastWayne Barker
Surely. Surely. There cant be a link between B-movies from the right up until a specific date of 1975? Maybe not. But Wayne will somehow shoehorn that in and make it relevant for content marketing campaigns that are within the range of more affordable budgets.

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.
