Keynote and fireside chat: What’s DX Anyway?
Developer Experience, shortened to DevEx or DX, has risen as one of the primary concerns for product teams catering to developer audiences. Simply put, DX encompasses all the perceptions and feelings a developer experiences when engaging with a product or tool. But what makes great DX? And is it really that important? (Yes!)
This talk focuses on how to inject great developer experience into your design and strategy, ensuring developers love your products for years to come.
Get ready. After her keynote on DX, Emily will engage in a fireside chat with Marc Dillon. Prepare your questions.

Lesley Cordero
Staff Software Engineer, Tech Lead at The New York Times
Psychologically Safe Reliability Management
Psychological safety is particularly important for teams that manage service reliability. The vulnerability that comes with mitigating failures in production requires principles of trust, transparency, and inclusion that can only come from cultures that minimize harm and enable empowerment.
Cultivating this kind of culture requires leaders to think proactively about how to build processes and systems that enable teams to be healthy, productive, and effective, while being adequately prepared for situations when failure inevitably happens.
We’ll review the cultural consequences of chronic issues and the strategies we can use as leaders to align with our shared goal of building excellent teams. We’ll touch upon themes of privilege, power, and accountability.
Lesley Cordero is currently a Staff Software Engineer, Tech Lead at The New York Times. She has spent the majority of her career on edtech teams as an engineer, including Google for Education and other edtech startups.
In her current role, she has focused on building excellent teams and reliability management by setting org-wide vision & strategy for observability, improving on-call processes, introducing chaos engineering, and cultivating culture that builds with the most vulnerable employees in mind first. She shows care for others by holding them accountable to the best versions of themselves – and by buying them the occasional bubble tea.

Unleashing Deploy Velocity with Feature Flags
A lot of development teams have built out fully automated CI/CD pipelines to deliver code to production fast! Then you quickly discover that the new bottleneck in delivering features is their existence in long-lived feature branches and no true CI is actually happening. Feature flags provide you with the mechanism to reclaim control of your features and deployments.
In this talk, we'll get started with some of the feature flagging basics before quickly moving into some practical feature flagging examples that demonstrate its usage beyond the basic scenarios as we talk about UI, API, operations, migrations, and experimentation.

Plan CI/CD on the Enterprise level
CI/CD seems to be simple. But let’s take a step back, and look at it from a helicopter view. Let’s think about the design CI/CD processes for the project, team, and even the whole company. Let’s go through the “architecture of CI/CD.” What areas should we cover? How to talk with stakeholders about CI/CD when we design the backbone of DevOps-driven organization?

Lightning talk: We all need to practice more SLSA
When buying food in the supermarket, there are a variety of regulations on what information the producer is required to give us. Yet, we serve our software without any "nutritional information" or ingredient list. This means that your customers have to "just trust" you. But in the last years, software supply chain attacks have shown that we need to make trust in security an integral part of our release.
In this lightning talk, I will introduce SLSA (Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts) and show the first easy steps you can take to enhance your security and ability to reproduce.
