Doing Less for Fun and Profit (by switching to the cloud)Luke Chavers
These are the slides from my talk at the NFHS Summer Meet 2016. The talk (and these slides) attempted to attack the conventional wisdom that owning servers is a worth-while endeavor for companies and organizations that create/maintain sophisticated web and mobile operations. AWS case studies were offered as evidence but the talk tried to be provider-neutral and encouraged newcomers to look at a broad range of IaaS and PaaS providers.
This is my Architecture to prevent Cloud Bill ShockDaniel Zivkovic
“Fail Fast and Learn Fast” with Cloud is a bad idea because Cloud overall is like a double-edged sword: when used correctly, it can be of great use, but it can be lethal if misused. In this meetup, Sudeep Chauha - founder of the ToMilkieWay.com shared his “near business death” experience after a GCP experiment ended up with a $72,000 bill shock.
Infinite Recursions are a common problem, so this talk is useful to developers from any public Cloud. Sudeep explained the mistakes he made, and the lessons he learned - so the rest of us can avoid similar near-Bankruptcy incidents. Thank you, Sudeep!

DockerCon SF 2015: From Months to MinutesDocker, Inc.
How GE Appliances Brought Docker Into the Enterprise -
Talk Description: In a traditional enterprise IT shop, it’s common to find a plethora of aging technologies. From COBOL running on mainframes, to huge Java applications spread across both physical and virtual hardware, the enterprise can sometimes resemble a living museum of IT. For application owners, bureaucracy, lack of business priority, and complex infrastructure can slow innovation, and make it difficult to stay current.
At GE, we leveraged Docker/Mesos to create an internal application platform that brings speed, simplicity, and cutting edge deployment processes to our enterprise, empowering developers to go from concept to production in minutes, rather than months.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Generating a custom Ruby SDK for your web service or Rails API using Smithyg2nightmarescribd
Have you ever wanted a Ruby client API to communicate with your web service? Smithy is a protocol-agnostic language for defining services and SDKs. Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.
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.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:

6. Second Assumption:
We wouldn’t mind
higher salaries or a
greater level of
autonomy over our
work
7. I want to propose an idea:
The ability to make
better business
decisions makes you a
better developer.
I’m not talking about straight up engineers, but people with jobs building software with
practical applications
9. WHY?
• Our salaries have to come from somewhere
• If our work is not creating more value than it costs
the people who sign our cheques then they’re
going to run out of money, and we’ll be
unemployed
10. WHY?
• Understanding the relationship between your
work and the business value that it creates gives
you a better ability to make decisions that will
allow you to have more freedom over what you
do (more money, or time off)
11. A STORY
4 years ago I sent my first pull request
32. MATH TIME!
• Average HK Dev Salary: $30,000/month
• Equipment, office space, utilities, benefits, taxes:
$20,000
• Total cost per month: $50,000
• Per year: $600,000
• Per week: $11,538
51. However, we can
work effectively on
individual parts of a
complex system
52. To make the right choices we
need to be aware of:
• The impact on the business’ bottom line
• The effect on our productivity
53. Framework for maximum
awesome
1. Work on things you like, and solve problems with
technologies you’re excited about
2. Work towards mastery of the technologies you
use every day
3. Evaluate how your day-to-day work creates value
for your employer and focus on increasing this
