Data surrounds us, hidden in logs, dashboards, ML pipelines, and real-time alerts. We assume it's trustworthy. Cameras count cars, sensors track health stats, AI algorithms recommend creditworthiness, but what happens when data isn't? When it's incomplete, biased, misinterpreted, or worse, silently reshaped? I'll explore how invisible biases and hidden assumptions can distort every decision, from business strategy to safety-critical systems. We'll dive into methods for treating data as a boundary condition: emphasizing source scrutiny, interpretation layers, governance and transparency, especially as AI automates more decision-making. This talk gives devs, engineers, and leaders a real-world playbook: how to design systems that demand trust, rather than blind belief.
This session is the result of my reflections on how to transform a struggling competence environment into a market-leading one. I believe that the connection between collaboration, culture-building, and an innovation/product-oriented perspective can provide a structured path forward.
Open Source projects are more and more often victims of their own success. Those responsible for the packages end up spending thousands of hours a year maintaining and supporting packages that have somehow gotten into the global infrastructure we use to build our products and services. Absolutely free, and usually only with outrage as the open source world's salary. It is not sustainable. Not in the long run. This is a massive challenge, across both companies and national borders. We as developers are definitely in a position where we can contribute, but what is really the right way to do it? How can we ensure the Open Source culture with contributions? How can we make it sustainable? These are questions I will try to answer!
Denne talken vil vise smertene en utvikler har med designskissene når utvikleren implementerer typografidesign. Har du noen gang lurt på hvorfor avstanden mellom tittelen og teksten sier 30px i skissen, men at det ikke stemmer overens med html og css? Vel, jeg vil få deg til å forstå hvorfor og hvordan du løser dette.
Hei, du der. Ja, DEG! Utvikleren som leser denne artikkelen. Er du klar til å kalle på de fire rytterne og starte apokalypsen? Starte den neste atomkatastrofen? Drepe pasienter? Gjøre banker konkurs? Har jeg oppmerksomheten din nå? Ja? Bra. For alt kommer til å gå til helvette, hvis du ikke tar deg sammen!
