Previous talks

Any update? Lessons from 13 years running a moderately successful open source project

with Tom Akehurst

13 years ago I started an open source project which, while not quite in the same league as the Rails/React/Laravels of the world, is probably the most widely used tool in its niche. In this talk I’ll share WireMock’s origin story plus a few lessons I’ve learnt along the way about what makes projects succeed, life as an open source maintainer, and maybe a daft anecdote or two.

SEO and AI, but not sketchy

with Andrew Laws

What's your opinion on AI? Will it bring about the inevitable robot apocalypse, or will it just churn out useless code to script Kiddies? And now that we have AI surely we can shut down all the SEO agencies? Find out the answer to all (or possibly none) of these questions.

with Dan Wright

Dan sets the scene for designing and delivering a data analysis project and invites the group to interact, interject and interrupt as we explore how to get things done.
