  • Investing in your accessibility workflow

    There’s no arguing that building accessible websites is a force for good. Everyone, regardless of ability or disability, ought to have the right to participate on the web.

  • Powerful questions and active listening

    As leaders in technology, we’re problem-solvers. We’re practiced in having good answers, and we are often promoted based on our ability to provide the “right answers” – solutions to business problems. But what about asking the “right questions”?

  • I’m newly remote under coronavirus, AMA

    In this session, we’ve assembled a group of engineering leaders who have had their working life affected by coronavirus. Attendees will have the opportunity to pre-submit questions to the panel to understand how this has changed the way they’re working, how they recommend making the switch, and how to mitigate the tensions that will initially occur.

  • Strategies for Rapidly Pivoting to Remote Work

    Over 74% of engineering teams now have team members who work remotely. And while remote work has the potential to bring many benefits, it also has unique points of tension that, if handled incorrectly, can damage the health of your team.

  • Leading Engineering Teams Through Times of Uncertainty

    At the core of an engineering managers’ role is the responsibility to ensure the happiness of your teams. As a leader, you’re expected to shield your teams from outside noise and create a stable environment for work – but what happens when there are situations too big for you to resolve?

  • Engineering leadership in the time of coronavirus

    As unprecedented situations occur, as a company it is your duty to ensure the safety of your employees. As such, you’ve made the decision to work remotely; you’ve made sure everyone’s safe and that they can connect to your systems. Their Instant Bloomberg (IB) dots are green.

  • On Postponing Lead Dev New York and London

    In January, news reports began to emerge of Coronavirus. The news was shocking, upsetting, and evidently very serious. But while we watched the news anxiously, we were still weeks away from understanding just how frightening the chain of events would be, and how they would impact our working lives.

  • Minimum Viable Business Continuity Management

    The COVID-19 pandemic has probably made many of us view our Business Continuity Management approach quite differently to how we might have 6 months ago.

  • An intro to Nativescript

    Mobile app development has always required learning each platform’s programming language and peculiarities. For developers coming from the web, where you write once and run anywhere, this is tough.

  • Practical web security

    Computer security talks are too often filled with theoretical computer scientists telling us about how the end is nigh. Don’t get me wrong, I love knowing the nitty details of cryptographic algorithms, but a whole lot of web developers don’t.

  • Building replicable dev environments with Docker

    Maintaining different software environments to run multiple web projects is a time-consuming task. Have you ever returned to an old project, only to find that you have to reinstall older versions of software before even starting any work?

  • An intro to Rush

    A very brief introduction to Rust and why it should be on your radar. Rust is a “systems” programming language that is designed to be a modern replacement for C++. It has an impressive out-of-the box tool chain, an interesting approach to safe concurrency and easy integration with C and other languages. It’s certainly a powerful tool to have at your disposal.

  • An intro to Angular

    Angular is probably the hottest frontend framework around right now. Why? What will it do for your dev team?

  • An intro to Go

    A talk about Go showing mistakes to be avoided when coming from other languages, discussion about strengths, and perceived shortcomings like dependency management.

  • Embracing change as an engineering leader

    We all want to stay ahead of the curve – after all, that’s what you go to a conference for. But have you ever considered how being ahead of the curve might be dangerous?

  • Navigating the challenges of being a tech lead

    When you were just a developer, things seemed so simple. Sometimes it was a choice between using several libraries, or working out the right algorithm to solve a problem. Making decisions seemed really easy. When you are playing the Lead Developer role, decisions no longer seem black and white and you have several competing priorities.

  • Characteristics of a modern tech lead

    Over the last decade or so we have seen a shift towards “generalising specialists”, programmers who, as well as designing and building great software, can understand a business domain, design a user interface, participate in and automate some of the testing and deployment activities, and who are sometimes even responsible for the health and wellbeing of their own systems in production.

  • Empathetic communication as an engineering leader

    The Internet is full of articles about how to build & lead tech teams, however reading these will only get you so far. In order to become a successful tech lead you must also know how to manage people, including: clients, project teams, other colleagues and your bosses.

  • 12 steps to becoming a better engineering interviewer

    An email in your inbox. A conversation with your boss. The company is hiring and you’re to be part of it – you’re going to be an interviewer.

  • How performance is everyone’s job

    As builders of the web, performance is our most important job, as it dictates a users happiness and willingness to use a product.

  • Adapting testing for engineers

    Keeping up with a team of developers who release every day is a tough job, but someone’s got to do it! Gone are the long, relaxing days of manual testing for weeks on end. Here is how we are keeping the acceptance testing process at JUST EAT as lean as possible.

  • The technical journey to microservices

    Microservices offer an architectural style that is flexible enough to become the de-facto approach for future enterprise software systems, but the individual journeys, and pitfalls vary dramatically from context to context.

  • Building happier engineering teams

    We all know how difficult (and expensive!) it is to convince brilliant engineers to join our team. The real challenge starts on Day 1 – What can we do to keep them happy and engaged?

  • Cloning yourself isn’t an option

    We’re all drawn to the fable of the 10X engineer, but engineers most commonly increase their effectiveness 10X by amplifying the effectiveness of those around them. In this talk we’ll explore ways to make your value multiplicative, no cloning required.
