Featuring:
Mentorship & Sponsorship
We often find mentors: people who can give us helpful advice. But what can be even more valuable is finding “sponsors”, who help us find new opportunities and improve. Lara Hogan walks through tactics you can employ today to be a sponsor for those around you.
Featuring:
No plan survives first contact with the enemy: Managing through large scale organizational change
In this talk, Sally will recount some war stories of taking a team of engineering managers and engineers through turbulent change and will reflect on what went well, what didn’t, and what she wishes she’d known beforehand.
Featuring:
Tech Debt as Innovation: Reframing this forever problem as an opportunity
Tech Debt is a natural by-product of software engineering, yet we, in the software industry, don’t attack it with the same excitement or fervour as we do with product innovation or feature development. In this talk, Bruce will discuss how Netflix is reframing technical debt and what they're investing in to help manage it better.
Featuring:
Designing APIs when things keep changing
In this talk, Jeff will talk about his experiences at Stripe and OpenAI, sharing stories and lessons on creating APIs that are easy to use, yet powerful and adaptable for the future. He'll discuss strategies for making decisions in API design, even when the path ahead isn't clear.
Featuring:
Revolutionising engineer growth: The tech-powered blueprint for careers clarity at ASOS
In this talk, Ed and Gareth take you through how they built a comprehensive competency framework; starting from an initial MVP to where they are today - a dedicated web app powered through markdown files in GitHub and a Blazor Server App. They'll delve into the evolution of frameworks and tools, all with one goal in mind: crafting an engaging and user-friendly platform to drive meaningful development and career conversations. They'll also take you through how they shared their matrix with folks outside of engineering - and how they ended up adopting it too.
