Break free from analysis paralysis. Hourglass Analysis is a pragmatic approach to qualitative data analysis that intentionally incorporates top-down (deductive) and bottom-up (inductive) thinking. Katherine will share a recent case study about how she has applied this framework to research on how Wise customers use the Swift network, which led to a mindset shift in […]

What happens when you combine HTML video primitives with Three.js physics and 3D interactions? You get a video player that makes you insert coins to watch and a wild excuse to learn how modern 3D web experiences come together. In this talk, you’ll learn how to model basic objects with React Three Fiber, add realistic […]

Most people would recommend refactoring a product gradually, piece by piece. At Supernova.io, we rewrote everything at once. It was risky, messy, and yes: we’d do it again. Two years later, here’s what we’ve learned. This is not an engineering war story. This talk covers the rewrite from the product and design side: migrating our entire […]

What if the key to higher productivity and better products lies in a talent pool we currently overlook? Our typical workplace often creates invisible barriers that cause us to miss out on neurodivergent talent. In this session, we will explore some common myths about autism and demonstrate how to implement principles of inclusive design in […]

Everyone talks about using AI models, but few developers know how to extend them. In this talk, we’ll go one level deeper and build our own Model Context Protocol (MCP) server in Go. We will use one of the AI assistants (Claude, Augment, Gemini) to code it. You can use any language but Ladislav thinks […]

Every week, your team makes dozens of decisions: what to build, how to design it, which edge cases matter. Most happen with high confidence but surprisingly little evidence. The result? Six-week prioritisation debates, rework cycles, and features that ship to silence. You probably seen this happen many times, regardless of your role. This talk shows […]

Consumer-driven contract testing is a surprisingly effective way for two teams to stop breaking each other. This is a gentle introduction for anyone who has never written a Pact, starting from the conversation between two services and ending with the confidence to ship without synchronous coordination. In this talk, Robin will show what a contract […]

What if your design system could grow with your needs instead of outgrowing your team? This talk explores how to build systems that start small yet scale across brands, products, and teams. Using practical examples from tools like Figma, Jira, and VS Code, we’ll look at component logic, variable inheritance, cross-repository governance, and shared ownership […]

How do you connect what your team builds with how your users feel? Well, it requires moving beyond feature delivery to creating product experiences that are usable, valuable, and desirable. Product experience mapping is a practical approach that helps defining a product-specific canvas to build a clear experience vision and a break-down into actionable parts. […]

How do you market a product when the customer is not a human? At Apify, Claude drafts briefs every morning, helps the team understand their customers, conducts competitive research, and assists with GTM strategies, all while using their internal product and knowledge. But Claude also calls Apify’s APIs 2.4 million times a month, making the […]
