Building AI apps without Python? My colleague hates this one weird trick
Why does Python get to have all the AI and ML fun?
What if there was a better way to build the applications that serve these models? A way that offered unparalleled concurrency, fault tolerance, and low-latency performance out of the box?
Ever thought to yourself, the world needs a searchable Dota 2 audio clips app, so you can also troll my colleague, Maicon with meme-able voice clips from one video game in particular?
No? Ok, maybe its just a me thing.
In this session, we'll introduce and explore how the Elixir language is almost purpose built to troll your work mates with AI applications. You'll see how we use Elixir's Bumblebee library to plug in powerful AI models and how the NX library makes it all possible.
Next, we’ll leverage Elixir's legendary foundation for stability (called OTP) to effortlessly build a robust data processing pipeline. You'll leave understanding not just how to build a smart search application, but why Elixir's unique features make it a rising star for deploying dependable AI in the real world.
Even if all of this sounds like gibberish to you, come along and see how we can build the dumbest usage of linear algebra imaginable.
How to (remotely) win friends and influence people
Tired of your boss telling you to get back into the office?
Want to have an amazing impact across the workplace in the comfort of your trackies?
What if I told you that you could lead impactful, supportive, and effective teams, without giving up the commute from your bedroom to your (home) office?
What if I told you that you could grow your own career and influence in your organisation, whilst still making time for growing those tomatoes out the back?
Come learn how to maximise your impact as a remote leader or team member. We'll take a walk through different techniques and tools to help you prove remote collaboration is just as productive, how to build strong cross-functional relationships remotely, and how to build empowered and productive teams.
Whilst you'll get the most out of this session if you already work remotely, or are interested in doing so, folks who prefer the office side of life will still come away with ideas, tips, and techniques that will not only help their remote colleagues, but themselves.
Wrong by Design: How We Ditched Estimates and Shipped 10x Faster
Estimates suck.
What if I said you didn't have to play endless rounds of estimation poker? What if you just accepted you were wrong?
We spend hours trying to get our estimates right but we inevitably miss the mark resulting in stressed teams, stakeholder conflict and low-quality software. How do we make it so being wrong actually makes it right?
Come find out how just one estimate, a little math, and accepting that we're always wrong changed our team. It turned us from a team that released twice in a year, to one that released ten times in as many months.
You'll leave this session with actionable advice on how your team can say goodbye to planning poker, and how you can give accurate deadlines, all whilst still being wrong. We'll see the positive impacts these techniques can have on your team, your culture and the software you build.
