I Don’t Know Everything, and That's the Job

I Don’t Know Everything, and That's the Job
Becoming a Lead or Staff Engineer doesn’t mean having all the answers—it means knowing how to ask better questions, how to support others, and how to make smart decisions in ambiguity. In this talk, I’ll share what I’ve learned (and unlearned) stepping into IC leadership roles: how to grow influence without managing people, how to admit “I don’t know” with confidence, and how to use AI tools to save time, focus in where it's important and scale my impact. It’s less about being the expert, and more about enabling others—and yes, that’s the job.

Coffee Chat With Documentation, Are You Ready?
The introduction of ChatGPT, Whisper API, and its orchestration tool such as Langchain, Semantic Kernel brings in a lot of hype over AI and what we can build with AI, such as a document assistant. But are we ready to scale our AI project to meet further requirements and broader scenarios, such as handing multiple processes within a document question and answer flow, or offering industry-specific answers with the existing codebase? How can we, as developers, leverage these tools to offer a better experience in documentation for developers as our users? Join my talk and let's find out.

We May Not Need Component Testing
Testings are mandatory and unit tests are the foundation for building a good testing system for our project. But for front end projects which involve components, how many unit tests are considered efficient and not overkill? Should we use additional libraries like Testing Library or Vue Test Utils with Vitest to test a component, when we can perform the same with just Playwright? Whether a component test using an E2E framework like Playwright is really a kill for? Let's find out in my talk.

Accessible CI/CD
CI/CD has been essential for any productive web product development and release. However, while accessibility is always an important aspect for any Web product included UI, it is often overlooked or considered as a time-consuming manual step, outside of the CI/CD flow. How can we automate accessibility testing within our CI/CD for better developer experience and team collaboration? What tools can we use to integrate and leverage accessibility compliance in our CI/CD? Join my talk and let's find out.

Accessible Component System Through Customization
Most current UI libraries provide great user experience with a vast of components. But when it comes to heavy customization, and non-standard scenarios, especially for E-Commerce, they become hard to manage, scale or even slow down performance.
How to create a UI library that provides users the most possible freedom in customizing components, while keeping our performance and scalability to the fullest? How much accessible we can provide out of the box to our users? How much customization freedom is enough?
That's what my talk's about.

Vuex? No, it’s X(state)Vue for UI
UI components are built on user flows or state graphs. To manage these states, we usually resolved to boolean variables system like isLoading. But this proves to be buggy and hard to maintain as the codebase grows. There is a better solution. In my talk, we will explore how we can fully control our app's states and develop a more adaptive UI system to users' behavior while keeping the codebase scalable with state machines, in real time.
