This document discusses how conversation has declined as a tool in DevOps due to increased digital communication and a desire for control. It argues that face-to-face conversation is important for DevOps work because it allows for spontaneity, unexpected ideas, trust-building and practice in communication. The document provides suggestions for incorporating more conversation, such as designing shared work spaces, limiting digital distraction during meetings, bringing dispersed teams together occasionally, and using chatbots to facilitate both communication and tasks.

Leadership for Developers, WordCamp Norway
Veselin Nikolov has been a developer since 1998 and has worked at Automattic since 2011 where he currently leads the Store Developers team. As a technical leader, he faces more communication, interruptions, pressure, responsibilities and dealing with people not doing what is expected compared to his previous role as an individual contributor. Effective management of other technical people requires maintaining technical skills, clear communication of tasks and responsibilities within the team, and understanding different roles within the organization. Good communication, listening, appreciation and avoiding criticism or micromanagement are principles the author follows as a technical manager.

The Politics of Designing a Large University Website
This document discusses the politics involved in designing large university websites. It explains that politics is a framework of competition between parties for their own advantage or goals. Politics matters because even if we try to avoid it, others will play politics around us. The document advises that those in IT should understand politics is happening even if they are not aware, and that decisions are often made from non-technical perspectives. It provides tips for coping with politics, such as understanding one's limited control, identifying sensitive issues early, and picking battles wisely while still advocating for appropriate solutions. Politics exists both at higher levels and within local project teams where individual agendas can influence outcomes. The ultimate goal is to balance all perspectives and serve the intended audience

UX In a Distributed Agile Environment: Making It Work - Krys Blackwood and Le...
Agile and scrum processes rely on constant communication between product, design and development teams. But what happens when your team is spread across three time zones, with three different cultures and two different languages? When a team is not working well together, the product suffers and the users suffer as a result. We’ll present our own case study and share parallels from other companies, then share with you what worked and what didn’t as we navigated the wilds of distributed agile. Most importantly, we’ll share the key shift to our approach that made the pivotal difference.

Social Converence - why you can't ignore it
The document discusses the concept of "social convergence" and how social media platforms are becoming increasingly interconnected. It notes that most people are active on major platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. It argues that by taking advantage of this connectivity through outbound social media marketing, small businesses can find real leads and prospects through platforms in an integrated, "socially convergent" way. The key is setting up content and expertise that drives leads to your business, rather than passively waiting for opportunities.

DevOps : It's Made of People
This document discusses DevOps and how it brings together development and operations teams. It notes that development values rapid change while operations values stability, often creating tensions between the two groups. It emphasizes that both are important to the business and advocates automating processes to build trust and allow faster, happier delivery. The document encourages starting with a retrospective to address problems, following through on action items, and taking a balanced approach to cultural change by recognizing both praise and resistance.

Immutable Service Delivery Shenzhen 2016
Immutable Infrastructure allows organizations to be faster and more reliable than competitors through practices like DevOps, Docker containers, and principles from Toyota's supply chain management. DevOps practices like continuous delivery and automation can make companies 2000x faster. Using Docker containers improves efficiency and allows organizations to be effective. Applying Toyota's supply chain principles of variety, velocity, variability, and visibility through immutable delivery patterns with containers can increase reliability 100x. This allows immutable infrastructure to provide both speed and reliability advantages.
Platform
Cloud computing involves delivering hosted services like infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS) over the internet. IaaS provides access to computer infrastructure and resources via the web. PaaS delivers a computing platform over the web, providing tools for developers. SaaS delivers applications over the internet rather than installing software locally. Major providers of these cloud services include Amazon, Google, and Salesforce.
Introduction to DevOps
DevOps is a movement to change how IT is done by promoting collaboration between development and operations teams. It aims to reduce waste and improve delivery of software by making development and operations processes more efficient through automation, monitoring, and communication. The DevOps philosophy advocates enhancing software design with operational knowledge, building feedback loops from production into development to improve systems, and fostering a culture of shared responsibility. Key DevOps practices include accelerating the flow of changes to production through continuous integration, delivery, and deployment; adding development practices to operations like automated testing; and empowering developers to do production work to break down barriers between teams. DevOps uses tooling throughout the development and operations process to measure and monitor systems and provide feedback.

Leveraging the Twitter Economy for a DevOps World
DevOps aims to solve the problems that arise from deploying and operating software applications. It is difficult because infrastructure issues can occur at any time and require expertise from different domains. Existing collaboration platforms do not fully address the needs of DevOps teams. The document proposes building a platform that leverages principles of continuous partial attention and asynchronous collaboration, as seen on social networks, to allow DevOps teams to more effectively solve problems together across locations and times. Research on remote collaboration and interruptions supports this approach of allowing teams to collectively but flexibly engage with issues as they arise.

Not fair! testing AI bias and organizational values
This document discusses bias in machine learning and how to intentionally design systems to reflect organizational values. It defines bias as a systematic influence on decisions that produces results inconsistent with reality. Bias can come from data selection and latent biases in training data. While bias may result in suboptimal answers, bias towards organizational values is not necessarily bad. The document provides examples of testing AI systems to ensure they reflect values like equal opportunity, customer satisfaction, and environmental stewardship. Testers should understand organizational values, how to operationalize them, and test that recommendations match values as reflected in proxy training data.
DevOps and the Impostor Syndrome
This presentation illustrates the challenges of learning new skills while working at a high level with your current skills, and how we might balance the two. Presented at TechWell's Agile and DevOps West 2021.
Not fair! testing ai bias and organizational values
This document discusses testing AI systems for bias. It begins by defining bias and how it can occur in machine learning models due to choices in training data and definitions of success. The document then provides examples of organizational values like equality, customer satisfaction, and environmental protection that AI systems could be designed to reflect. It suggests testing systems by defining hypotheses based on these values, collecting proxy data to measure the values, establishing test scenarios, and comparing results to data and goals to identify unintended biases. The goal is for ML models to make decisions aligned with an organization's values rather than just business metrics alone.
162 the technologist of the future
The document discusses how career skills and expertise are changing in the modern workplace. It notes that expertise used to be highly valued, but technical skills now have shorter half-lives of only 5 years. The workplace is shifting to value flexibility over deep expertise in a single area. Individuals need to be able to rapidly learn new skills and adapt to changing technologies. While expertise still has value, the future is trending toward flexible generalists who can solve a variety of problems rather than narrow specialists. The document advises workers to expose themselves to many different skills and experiences to prepare for more varied career paths.
Correlation does not mean causation
This document discusses how data and machine learning systems work, and some of their limitations. It makes three key points:
1. Machine learning systems are only as good as the data used to train them, and all data has some inherent bias which can negatively impact results if not addressed.
2. While large datasets and machine learning are powerful, humans still need to provide oversight to catch errors, prevent harm, and ensure systems don't behave in unexpected ways.
3. Thorough testing of systems with diverse datasets is needed to identify and address biases, anticipate problems, and ensure models are robust and represent their intended domains.
Digital transformation through devops dod indianapolis
This document discusses how DevOps principles can enable digital transformation. Digital transformation focuses on using technology to improve customer experience and business value, while DevOps aims to streamline processes and eliminate bottlenecks. Their synergies are found in systems thinking, amplifying feedback loops, and creating a culture of continuous learning. Digital transformation can be enabled through continuous delivery by applying these synergistic focuses across the continuous delivery pipeline with continuous testing. Continuous testing ensures customer focus throughout the pipeline and manages risk, thus enabling digital transformation.
Testing for cognitive bias in ai systems
The document discusses how machine learning systems can produce biased results based on issues with the training data used, and provides examples of how biases have emerged in commercial AI systems. It then outlines approaches for testing machine learning systems to identify potential biases, including understanding the training data, defining objective success criteria, and testing with diverse edge cases. The challenges of addressing biases that emerge from limitations in the data or human decisions are also examined.
Making disaster routine
This document discusses how organizations can prepare for disasters by making failures routine through practices like chaos engineering and active monitoring. It recommends:
1) Practicing failure scenarios as a team to improve disaster response procedures and checklists.
2) Introducing variables like server crashes and network issues in production environments using chaos engineering to test resiliency.
3) Monitoring application health over time to detect performance trends that could indicate future issues.
4) Treating failures as routine events by having established procedures and checklists to minimize panic and focus response efforts.

It then demonstrates how the Oracle Database Firewall provides defenses against SQL injections through features like SQL monitoring, blocking, and auditing.
Qa test managed_code_varhol
The document discusses testing and assessing performance in managed code for embedded systems. It begins by explaining what managed code is and how it automatically handles memory allocation and deallocation. It then discusses how memory usage affects performance and the importance of testing managed code applications for memory usage. A variety of tools for performance profiling and memory analysis are presented, with caveats about needing to build test harnesses to use the tools for embedded systems. The presentation recommends understanding how managed code works and using tools to examine performance and memory usage to avoid issues from memory misuse in embedded applications.
Testing a movingtarget_quest_dynatrace
This document discusses challenges in testing machine learning and adaptive systems. It begins by explaining that these systems are non-deterministic and do not always produce the same outputs for a given input. Traditional testing approaches cannot be used because outputs are not predefined. The document then explores challenges like defining requirements, determining what constitutes a bug, and validating results without a single correct answer. It argues that testing objectives, scenarios, and acceptable outcomes need to be clearly defined. Accuracy alone may not be a useful metric, and non-deterministic results are expected. Overall, the document advocates understanding how these systems work and setting measurable criteria to assess quality.
How do we fix testing
Perhaps in no other professional field is the dichotomy between theory and practice more starkly different than in the realm of software testing. Researchers and thought leaders claim that testing requires a high level of cognitive and interpersonal skills, in order to make judgments about the ability of software to fulfill its operational goals. In their minds, testing is about assessing and communicating the risks involved in deploying software in a specific state.
However, in many organizations, testing remains a necessary evil, and a cost to drive down as much as possible. Testing is merely a measure of conformance to requirements, without regard to the quality of requirements or how conformance is measured. This is certainly an important measure, but tells an incomplete story about the value of software in support of our business goals.
We as testers often help to perpetuate the status quo. Although in many cases we realize we can add far more value than we do, we continue to perform testing in a manner that reduces our value in the software development process.
This presentation looks at the state of the art as well of the state of common practice, and attempts to provide a rationale and roadmap whereby the practice of testing can be made more exciting and stimulating to the testing professional, as well as more valuable to the product and the organization.
Moneyball peter varhol_starwest2012

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible.

- 27. The Role of ChatOps • Intriguing technology for combining communications and action • Talk to team members • Exchange data and files • Execute scripts and perform other actions
- 28. Why Talk? • You solve problems more quickly • You address issues you never knew you had • You establish trust • You get practice
