Agenda
4.30 pm: Doors open
5.00 pm: Welcome by moderator (5-10 min)
5.20 pm: Oops Moments part I
Termie - How to Crash a Startup and Cost Megacorps
In this grab bag talk, I'll go through some short stories of how I failed successfully at being a lead developer and solo sysadmin for Jaiku as it rose to popularity and was acquired by Google.
- Airplane Ride Deadlock (Fixed)
- TWiT Easter (and How We Beat Acquisition)
- Debian Weak-Key
- Joining the 250QPS Club
- The Italian JobAnca Ghenade - Oops moments in the AWS management console
Gather ‘round the AWS management console, and let me tell you a story about mistakes and costs that will either make you cry or just point and laugh.
Let’s talk about the oopsies of accidentally leaving your test resources running and all the slow retry attempts to fix your infrastructure. Were you once a cloud and infrastructure newbie? I was, and let me tell you, getting that Slack message from the CTO asking me to be more careful with costs did not sit well with me.
The truth is that accidents can happen no matter how experienced you are. After we go through all the no-no’s let’s also explore a solution that can save us from such headaches. Let’s take the opportunity to learn by discussing a different way to provision infrastructure for development and testing in CI, with faster feedback loops and lower costs. Production remains on the AWS cloud while you give yourself a break locally. Your applications won’t know the difference.
6.10 pm: Break
6.20 pm: Oops Moments part II:
Ramiro Berrelleza -The default configuration should do it no?
Cloud services come with sensible defaults no? Well, that’s what I thought. And turns out, I was wrong. In this talk, we’ll share some of the Devoops challenges that we learned the hard way as we took Okteto from an open source project into a platform used by thousands of developers all over the world.
6.35 pm: Power Point Karaoke
6.45 pm: Networking with Snacks and Drinks
7.45 pm: Doors closing

Termie
Currently writing software to test satellite engines and launch rockets, Termie has been most of the kinds of developers over the past 25 years: from building phone systems, to identity systems, to browsers, to social networks, to clouds, to automation software, to rockets.
Achievements include starting BarCamp, OpenStack, OAuth, and naming the walrus operator.
Anca Ghenade
After seven years as a Java developer, Anca is now a developer advocate at LocalStack. This transition also meant switching from on-prem to cloud, and a long learning journey. She enjoys creating demos that bring value to other engineers and having meaningful conversations about different use cases and developer needs.
Ramiro Berrelleza is one of the founders of Okteto. He has spent most of his career (and his free time) building cloud services and developer tools. Before starting Okteto, Ramiro was an Architect at Atlassian and a Software Engineer at Microsoft Azure. Originally from Mexico, he currently lives in Oakland, California
