Presented by Tania Allard, Developer Advocate at Microsoft
Most developers have heard “good code documents itself” or “documentation outdates easily, the code does not” at some point. This is an excuse to not write documentation or justify the absence of it. In my work with many teams, the lack of documentation is often a symptom of high technical debt.
What if we could turn this around and use documentation like a driver for positive culture change and start paying the critical technical debt? This approach not only helps teams to faster identify areas that need critical support but also brings more empathy to the table.
In this talk, Tania draws on experiences using documentation as a weapon for positive culture and process change in machine learning and scientific computing environments. She focuses on the processes and approaches that enable the creation of documentation for data scientists, infrastructure, and software engineering teams, and clients.
By the end of the talk, you'll learn efficient techniques to make documentation a first-class citizen in your development cycles—and leave with one or two tricks to convince even the most reluctant developer to document code.

Presented by Mariatta Wijaya, Backend Engineer and Python Core Developer at Zapier
Managing a large open source project like CPython is no easy task. Learn how the Python core team automated their GitHub workflow with bots, making it easier for maintainers and contributors to collaborate together. Even if you’re not managing a large project, you can still build your own bot! Hear some ideas on what you can automate and personalize on GitHub to build at your best. Don’t be a robot, build one.

Presented by:
Hamel Husain, Staff Machine Learning Engineer at GitHub
Jeremy Lewi, Software Engineer at Google
From automating mundane tasks to reducing inefficiencies in developers’ workflows, machine learning has the potential to scale your team’s results like never before. However, the practice of deploying machine learning for enterprises is relatively new. In this talk, Hamel and Jeremy will demonstrate how GitHub Actions and Kubernetes can be used to orchestrate machine learning workflows in new ways that increase transparency and reliability of these applications. By borrowing best practices and technologies from DevOps, they’ll help you learn how to deploy machine learning solutions with confidence.

The rising complexity of modern software is pushing the limits of human understanding. Fortunately, visualization is here to help, allowing us to see surprising patterns in data at a glance!
In this session, you will learn how visualization can help us understand both the static structure and runtime behavior of software. Through visualization, you will gain a deeper understanding of your code, make better-informed design decisions, and have new tools for sharing insights with your team.

Presented by Zach Hill, Principal Architect, Anchore, and Steve Winton, Senior Partner Engineer, GitHub
Containers are a driving force behind code reuse for businesses of all sizes, allowing developers to choose from a variety of software sources when they’re building an application. However, containers can sometimes introduce unwanted security and compliance flaws. GitHub’s Steve Winton and Anchore’s Zach Hill will discuss how users can now check containers for known vulnerabilities and configuration issues automatically, thanks to Anchore and GitHub Actions. Plus, they’ll show you some ways you can integrate this new product into your development pipeline.

Presented by Guillermo Rauch, CEO, ZEIT
What does it take to build and deploy a cutting-edge website? Guillermo will take you through the complexity of the modern web, whether you’re building single or multiple pages that are static or dynamic, or working on the frontend or backend with serverless lambda functions.
He’ll help you bring your app code to life with preview deployments for every push and maximize performance and availability with a global CDN. Finally, he’ll cover how to go into production—and revert it—faster than ever before, while improving QA and testing with GitHub apps.
