๐ฎ๐ฑ The Graph vs. The Janitor: Organizing Code for the AI Era
AI empowers non-devs to ship code, but you're the one stuck cleaning it up. As a "rehabilitating developer," you face a grim choice: spend hours reviewing and fixing AI-generated PRs just to make them mergeable or let the work go to waste. Stop being a code janitor! I challenge you to fundamentally rethink the code-product connection.
We will explore mapping the codebase as a relational graph of business units rather than mere lines. This creates a shared language for devs, PMs, and AI agents to understand impact and prioritize reuse over technical debt. Let's move from syntax to intent.
This workshop offers a deep, hands on journey into Claude Code and the modern AI developer workflow. We explore how Claude Code assists in everyday development tasks like code completion, test generation, documentation, refactoring, issue fixing, and shaping entire code blocks through natural conversation. Participants learn how to get real value from Claude Code, from asking meaningful questions to applying changes directly in their code, using slash commands, running commands, and leveraging context such as previous conversations, attached files, and system level hints. We dive into Claude Code's agentic workflows and understand how they differ from simple chat based interactions, while practicing powerful flows like reviewing changes, working with a focused working set, refining code inline, and enhancing productivity through smart actions, custom instructions, and memory tools.
Throughout the session we examine how Claude Code uses environment specific context like the workspace, terminal, and external tools via MCP (Model Context Protocol) to produce more tailored answers. We also explore new capabilities including extended thinking, multi agent workflows, prompt optimization, and task oriented workflows such as TODO management. A dedicated segment covers model comparison so participants can understand how different Claude models like Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku behave and how to choose the right one for each task.
The workshop also opens the door to enterprise level features such as custom configurations, security and privacy controls, and usage patterns that allow organizations to monitor and maximize impact. Finally, we walk through practical examples, architecture and component layouts, prompt patterns, and tips for producing consistently strong results, ending with live demos that bring all the concepts together into real development scenarios. This is an end to end exploration designed to level up your daily workflow and give you a clear sense of how to harness Claude Code as a powerful engineering partner.

๐ฎ๐ฑ From Blank Page to "Accepted": Reverse Engineering a Talk Proposal
Getting a "Yes" from a committee isn't luck, it's engineering. Most developers fail at the CFP stage because they focus on the talk, not the pitch. Drawing from my experience on dozens of global stages, I'll reverse-engineer my workflow: from ideation and research to knowing exactly where to use (and avoid) AI. You'll leave with a proven framework to turn a blank page into a winning proposal for the world's biggest stages.
๐ฎ๐ฑ From Chaos to Component: Bridging the AI Design System Gap
Most teams suffer from a "Design System gap" - either they don't have one, or their AI can't leverage it. In this talk, weโll bridge that divide. Youโll learn how to use AI to extract a fresh design system from legacy apps and solve the "delivery gap" by keeping Figma and code perfectly in sync. Youโll leave with a blueprint to make your components machine-readable and your workflow automated.

๐ฎ๐ฑ From Generation to Composition: A New Era in AI Coding (1hr + demo)
Most GenAI tools write code like interns with amnesia - fast, shallow, and unaware of the bigger picture. Not because they lack power, but because we're not giving them the right foundation.
This talk shows how to level up your AI from code monkey to system architect by giving it what it actually needs: structure. You'll learn how composable components turn a codebase into a live map of your organization's product and business functionality that AI can understand, reuse, and build with.
We'll explore four key principles that help AI see and use code like a great human architect, focusing on functionality, context, reuse, and system-level thinking. You'll also see a live demo of HopeAI composing real product features, by putting architecture first and syntax second.
๐ฎ๐ฑ Platform as a Product: Building Platforms with APIs that Developers Love
A successful platform isn't just infrastructure, it's a product. To drive real adoption, platforms must offer seamless, developer-friendly APIs that integrate directly into code, eliminating the need for external docs or DevOps dependencies. Developers should be able to debug, extend, and contribute as they would with any other product. In this talk, I'll showcase real-world platform APIs and share lessons from working with dozens of platform teams, demonstrating proven strategies to build platforms that developers love to use and scale.
Empower your developers for creation without bottlenecks. Free DevOps for more meaningful activities. Boost organization velocity.Join us for an exciting panel where we'll discuss how this magic can happen.

๐ฎ๐ฑ The Ripple Effect: Propagating Updates Across a Graph of Dependencies
Component-driven development creates complex dependency graphs, where updating one component can affect many others. This talk addresses the challenges of propagating updates at scale, and offers solutions for automating updates, optimizing propagation, collaborating over changes, and enforcing policies across your codebase.
๐บ๐ธ Code on Demand: The Future of Code Collaboration
The video talk explores the impact of streaming on code collaboration, emphasizing code on demand. It highlights how streaming has transformed music consumption and draws parallels to software development. Developers can now craft reusable components, similar to building with Lego, using tools like Bit. The talk contrasts the traditional development workflow with a more efficient, modular approach. Claudia and McDonald, engineers at Spotify, share their experiences in building a new player menu, showcasing the benefits of a component-based workflow. The talk also discusses the importance of contextual search, live examples, and comprehensive documentation in modern development. The speaker encourages treating components as complete products and enhancing discovery tools to motivate developers. Practical steps for improving component reuse include prioritizing component reviews, versioning, and simplifying the sharing process. The talk underscores the social aspects of streaming, such as tracking code impact and fostering collaboration across teams.
๐ฎ๐ฑ Micro Frontend Build time vs Runtime dependencies - a gentle equilibrium
Micro frontends break down monolithic front-end code into self-contained units, much like microservices for the backend. This talk explores two ways to merge micro frontends: runtime composition and build-time bundling. I will discuss the trade-offs, including team independence, performance, and update management. I will also share how to combine these approaches, offering tools and processes to balance both strategies.
๐ฎ๐ฑ The Golem Turns On His Creator - How I took home automation too far (long version)
How smart should you make your house?
Ever wished you can automate everything in your home? Really everything?
For 5 years Iโve been radically automating my house: It finds my phone and reports its location when I ask, it starts boiling water when my baby starts to cry, and it calls my phone when my spouse calls me downstairs.
I wonโt lie, itโs pretty awesome.
But a smart home is a powerful servant and a dangerous master.
My home has become a weapon for my kids against me. It tried to sabotage my marriage. It even made me live in the dark. But I survived.
In this talk, I will share my experience and raw footage of an experiment gone too far. Together weโll try to create a useful toolbox of does and donโts for the brave smart home engineer.

๐ฎ๐ฑ Building Bit: Lessons Learned In The Trenches
More of today's applications are being built from smaller components and modules.
However, the workflow around building with smaller components can also generate a lot of overhead. Bit is an open source project which helps developers discover, use and collaborate on shared components while distributing the development process itself.
In this talk I will introduce Bit, talk about the challenges and opportunities of building a core piece of your technology with the community, the challenges of having to play hand in hand with the rapidly-changing open source ecosystem (from Git & NPM to Webpack and React) and share some insights for teams who want to open source some of their projects
๐ฎ๐ฑ Code-sharing in The Wild: From Libraries to Monorepos and Beyond
Sharing components between apps speeds our development and provides a better experience for our users.
The key to effective, scalable code-sharing lies in the architecture and tools we choose. In this talk I'll review the growth, pros and cons of this ecosystem from shared libraries through monorepos to new tools, and show a live demo of Bit- an open source project we created and use to share components between apps.
React encourages us to compose our application's UI from smaller reusable components.
Every button, slider or card is a component while larger elements can be composed out of smaller components to create new applications.
But, what happens when we want to share and reuse these components?
In this talk, we'll dive into this question and learn how different architectures, from multi-repo to monorepo, affect our team's ability to share and reuse components. We'll explore how different tools in the ecosystem play a role in this use case, and learn how Bit can help us isolate and share large numbers of components, making them available to discover, use and develop anywhere in a distributed workflow. The session will include a live coding demo session and Q&A.

๐ฎ๐ฑ How and why I built my resume using React components
In this talk, Iโll talk about why building an online resume site is a good idea, how it can increase your chances to get a job , and why React is a great tool for this purpose.
Iโll give a live demonstration of a tool that can help you build those components easily and view them beautifully rendered in seconds.
This talk will change everything you know about testing.
Youโre used to thinking about tests as a passive tool which helps you learn about your applicationโs state.
In this talk, Iโll show you how to take testing to the next level where tests can actually change your code, and become an active player in your development process.
I will also talk about the relation between code modularity and writing tests, and show a live demo of how with the right tools you can adopt this approach today.
๐ฎ๐ฑ Accelerate your GraphQL adoption using bit
This talk is about making the GraphQL consumer happier, which will serve our goal as publishers, to increase adoption.
During this talk, Gilad describes a way for an organization to use components as a way to accelerate its GraphQL adoption. This GraphQL can be a public to everyone or public to the organization only.
Gilad describes the current problems with publishing and adopting APIs, and demonstrates a live demo of integrating GitHub GraphQL into his own project in few minutes by using components pre built by the publisher, without the need of reading any documentation (which as developers, we hate doing).
