Philly ETE 2021 ⁠— Amber Case ⁠— Keynote: Designing Calm Technology

Abstract Our world is made of information that competes for our attention. What is needed? What is not? We cannot interact with our everyday life in the same way we interact with a desktop computer. Technology shouldn’t require all of our attention, just some of it, and only when necessary. Calm technology describes a state of technological maturity where a user’s primary task is not computing, but being human. The idea behind Calm Technology is to have smarter people, not…

Philly ETE 2020 – Theo Schlossnagle – Latency SLOs Done Right

Check out our YouTube playlist to watch all the talks from Emerging Technologies for the Enterprise 2020. Abstract Median, average, 90th, 99th percentile. We’ve all seen these metrics on our monitoring systems, both open source and from commercial vendors, but often they are used incorrectly when constructing Service Level Objectives. This session will show three different approaches to correctly calculating latency SLOs, and how histograms can be used to calculate mathematically correct quantiles and set SLOs based on those. About…

Check out our YouTube playlist to watch all the talks from Emerging Technologies for the Enterprise 2020. Abstract This talk provides practical strategies to not only transition but improve the best practices of fully remote development. Rapid Prototyping focuses on implementation that is both iterable and testable so you can demonstrate what works best for you and for your team. We will demonstrate the tools and structure needed to implement online rapid prototyping when interacting with both a client and…

Philly ETE 2020 – Rob Napier – Secrets and Lies

Check out our YouTube playlist to watch all the talks from Emerging Technologies for the Enterprise 2020. Abstract “Security though obscurity is no security.” Well… sort of. The truth is much more complicated. Obfuscation is difficult, fragile, and a never ending battle. But sometimes it’s the only tool for the job, whether to protect a secret key or the integrity of your high-score list. In this session you’ll learn what attacks your app is already facing (whether you know it…
