Productivity Conference for Devs and Tech Leaders

Productivity Conf for Devs and Tech Leaders

Today's Talk discussed the potential of AI to enhance managerial productivity. The importance of frameworks and Git in coding was emphasized, as well as the need to stay updated with new technologies. Various AI tools and their use cases were mentioned, with a focus on data security. The benefits of using AI agents and case templates for project management were highlighted. AI tools for presentations, automation, and bias in AI models were also discussed. The limitations of AI and ethical considerations were mentioned, emphasizing the need for human creativity and accountability. Overall, the Talk provided valuable insights into the role of AI in software development and engineering.

AI promises to revolutionise productivity for managers, from aiding in creative problem-solving and research to improving prioritisation and decision-making support. But can AI really help us stay unbiased? And how do we ensure its safe use without risking sensitive company data? This talk explores actionable strategies for leveraging AI tools effectively while maintaining ethical standards and safeguarding information. You'll leave with insights on whether AI can truly optimise your work and how to integrate it safely and responsibly in your managerial practices.

Today's Talk discusses microservices optimization strategies for distributed systems, specifically focusing on implementing casual consistency to ensure data synchronization. Vector clocks are commonly used to track the casual relationship between write events in distributed systems. Casual consistency allows for concurrent and independent operations without synchronization, maximizing parallelism and system resource utilization. It enables effective scalability, better latency, and fault tolerance in distributed systems through coordination, resilience, reconfiguration, recovery, and data replication.

- Delve into the intricacies of optimizing microservice architecture for achieving high performance and resilience.- Explore the challenges related to performance bottlenecks and resilience in microservices-based systems.- Deep dive into the strategies for enhancing performance, such as efficient communication protocols, asynchronous messaging, and load balancing, while also discussing techniques for building resilience, including circuit breakers, fault tolerance, and chaos engineering.- Explore relevant tooling and technologies, such as service mesh and container orchestration, and offer insightful case studies and lessons learned from real-world implementations.- Emphasize the importance of continuous improvement and adaptation in microservices environments, alongside reflections on the future trajectory of microservices architecture.

This Workshop on React Performance Debugging covers various topics such as analyzing performance with Chrome DevTools and React Profiler, optimizing components to improve performance, and debugging performance issues with tools like Why Did You Render and console.time. It also emphasizes the importance of prioritizing performance and fostering a performance-oriented culture within development teams. The Workshop concludes with insights on monitoring and optimizing React performance, including challenges with third-party libraries and the limitations of the React Fiber compiler.

Ivan’s first attempts at performance debugging were chaotic. He would see a slow interaction, try a random optimization, see that it didn't help, and keep trying other optimizations until he found the right one (or gave up). Back then, Ivan didn’t know how to use performance devtools well. He would do a recording in Chrome DevTools or React Profiler, poke around it, try clicking random things, and then close it in frustration a few minutes later. Now, Ivan knows exactly where and what to look for. And in this workshop, Ivan will teach you that too. Here’s how this is going to work. We’ll take a slow app → debug it (using tools like Chrome DevTools, React Profiler, and why-did-you-render) → pinpoint the bottleneck → and then repeat, several times more. We won’t talk about the solutions (in 90% of the cases, it’s just the ol’ regular useMemo() or memo()). But we’ll talk about everything that comes before – and learn how to analyze any React performance problem, step by step. (Note: This workshop is best suited for engineers who are already familiar with how useMemo() and memo() work – but want to get better at using the performance tools around React. Also, we’ll be covering interaction performance, not load speed, so you won’t hear a word about Lighthouse 🤐)

The Talk discusses various aspects of serving images on websites, including where to store images, image transformation options, and image formats. It also explores different approaches for handling image versions and sizes, such as preparing them in advance or using a proxy server. The speaker highlights the importance of optimizing images for performance and mentions the progress made in adopting new image formats. Overall, the Talk provides insights into best practices for managing and serving responsive dynamic images.

Why bother to optimize images? Images often account for most of the downloaded bytes on a web page. As a result, optimizing images can frequently yield of the performance improvements for your website.

This workshop focuses on maximizing app performance by optimizing web fonts. It covers topics such as cumulative layout shift (CLS) and how fonts cause it, as well as strategies for CLS minimization. The importance of monitoring the actual CLS score in production is emphasized. Techniques for optimizing web fonts include using system fonts, hosting your own fonts, and leveraging browser capabilities. The workshop also explores font display properties and the impact of font loading and swapping on performance. Tools like Sentry can be used for monitoring and analyzing CLS scores.

You've just landed on a web page and you try to click a certain element, but just before you do, an ad loads on top of it and you end up clicking that thing instead. That…that’s a layout shift. Everyone, developers and users alike, know that layout shifts are bad. And the later they happen, the more disruptive they are to users. In this workshop we're going to look into how web fonts cause layout shifts and explore a few strategies of loading web fonts without causing big layout shifts.
