JavaScript is weird and that’s why we love it. In this talk, we’ll explore the strangest, funniest, and most broken behaviours hiding in JS and browser APIs. From [] == ![] being true, to overwriting the user’s clipboard with a single line of code, this is a tour of JavaScript’s most “beautiful” chaos.

Daniel will unpack the rise of agentic payments, the UCP standard’s role in e-commerce, and how frontier AI models are reshaping who builds, breaks, and buys online. Designers and product leaders will learn how to stay ahead by embracing agent-friendly design and rethinking security.

Most product teams don’t fail due to poor design, weak research or bad engineering – they crash because they build the wrong thing on a foundation of hope. In this high-energy session, discover how unreliable self-reports and opinion-led decisions fuel catastrophic failures. Drawing on Scientific Design principles, learn an evidence-led playbook for the AI era: […]

We’ve all heard that we should test our software, but what happens when we don’t? Sometimes, it leads to strange and unexplainable events. Is ‘testing more’ always the right solution? What do these bugs reveal about software and its failures? And how can we use these lessons to build more resilient systems? Let’s explore together […]

What happens when the most powerful hacking tool in history (yes, AI) becomes cheap, simple, and accessible to everyone? Stanislav Fort, ex-Google / Anthropic, moves past theoretical concerns to showcase the dark reality of AI being actively weaponised for security research. In “Hunting for Zero Days with AI,” Stanislav will explore AI-powered exploits, including hacking […]

We’ve entered the era of “just add AI.” Slap a prompt box on it, ship it, call it intelligent. But the products people love don’t feel like AI demos. They feel obvious, fast, and considered. They have taste. Taste isn’t subjective fluff. It’s the difference between a streaming response that renders progressively and one that […]

In this talk, consider Figma from the design side. From that perspective, we look at layout from both angles: Figma and then CSS Grid, Flexbox, and Container Queries from the code side. […]
