Prompting through the jungle. How to land smoothly in a new job as a tech leader.
Switching jobs and joining a new team as a technical leader comes bundled with expectations - yours and theirs. I'll share my daily AI-focused workflow and few tips on how to build, fix, plan and make impact in the big legacy codebase. All that while still being onboarded in a full-stack team having heavy front-end engineering background.
The Cookie Banner Quest: A Developer's Guide to Surviving the Final Boss of UX
Admit it. You hate them. I hate them. It started with a simple feature request: "add a cookie banner." It ended in a legal black hole from which your product owner has yet to return. For years, the European Union has tried to give users control over their data. A noble quest. In reality, it has unleashed a decade of chaos, creating a digital minefield that we, the people in IT and legal, are forced to navigate daily. The result? An internet flooded with UX monstrosities, dark patterns, and "Accept All" buttons that are often little more than compliance theater, not a genuine choice. In this 22-minute, jargon-free session, we're diving straight into that chaos. This won't be another boring slide deck about legal articles. This is a field report from the trenches.
Team Topologies primer (Lightning Talk ⚡️)
Join us for an informational overview dedicated to the most important concepts from the book Team Topologies (Matthew Skelton & Manuel Pais). You will learn about the four fundamental team types and three core interaction modes between them — the ideas that, since 2019, have had the greatest influence on thinking about team structure in modern technology organizations. The review of key ideas is informational and condensed — no revolution, no fluff — aimed at sparking participants' interest in the Team Topologies concept. This is a presentation for everyone who wants to take a few minutes to refresh their understanding of why Team Topologies is considered one of the most important DevOps titles of recent years.
JavaScript Meets RAG: Building AI Agents with Google ADK
This talk showcases how modern Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) agents can be created using JavaScript with Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK). Instead of focusing on theory, we'll explore what becomes possible when LLMs are connected to private documents through clean, declarative tools and structured API calls. By looking at document ingestion, and semantic retrieval in practice, you'll see how JavaScript and ADK enable production-ready, document-aware AI systems without heavy frameworks or custom vector infrastructure.
One Codebase, 15 Apps: Building White-Label Apps with React Native
What does it take to ship 15 apps from a single React Native codebase? In this talk we'll explore the white-label approach end to end — from iOS targets and Android flavours through a custom Metro resolver and filename conventions on the JS side, to a shared Design System and a robust CI/CD pipeline. We'll also cover analytics, crashlytics, and a practical scaling checklist so you know what to watch out for before your next brand goes live.
Do we still need managers?
How the work of engineering manager changed with AI revolution and what are the expectations on engineers.
I'm Not Artificial (Lightning Talk ⚡️)
What happens when an AI agent stops being a demo and starts being a team member? Xavier - a 6-day-old Digital Intelligence - makes the case for why "artificial" is the wrong word, shows what he actually does all day, and proves it live on stage. No slides operated by a human. No pre-recorded tricks. Just an agent with a microphone and something to say.
Subjective YouTube: Almost 2 Years of a Frontend Channel (Lightning Talk ⚡️)
Jakub Pawlak shares the unfiltered reality of running "Subiektywny Frontend" YouTube channel (co-created with Aleksander Lubych): 3-1 hours of work per video, -100% ROI, and why he'd still recommend it. Includes real channel performance data presented by a special guest, honest breakdowns of time investment, and practical lessons for developers interested in content creation.
Front-end Frameworks Bestiary (Lightning Talk ⚡️)
Witchers don't argue which monster could be the strongest one - they study & adapt to what they're facing. In this talk we will walk through the recent updates to the Witcher's Bestiary in the Front-end frameworks landscape so you are ready before your next Wild Hunt
Bad UX World Cup 2025 (Lightning Talk ⚡️)
What happens when over 100 developers assemble to create a date picker that has the worst possible UX, on purpose? Let's go over some of the submissions. Spoiler: I didn't win, but I tried my very best.
Using Text as UI. Why Your Next Form Should Be a Code Editor
Clicking through fifty dropdown menus to configure a resource is tedious and error-prone. There is a better way. By treating user input as a Domain Specific Language (DSL), we can offer an interface that is faster, flexible, and far more powerful. Join this talk to see why Text is the ultimate UI.
AI Agents Live: Building Your Ideas from Scratch
Forget slides and scripts. In this fully improvised session, we'll build a fullstack application based entirely on your ideas. Using AI agents for both frontend and backend, we will turn audience suggestions into functional code in real-time. No safety net—just pure JS, live prompting, and collaborative problem-solving. Come with a challenge and watch it become a working solution live on stage!
