6:00 - 6:30 : Arrive and Network!

6:40 - 8:00 : Presentation

Speaker: You have most likely heard of Corey Quinn. If not, know that he publishes the snarky newsletter "Last week in AWS". https://www.lastweekinaws.com/ It is a fun read that arrives every Monday like clockwork to thousands of AWS users. Corey is a very entertaining speaker. Trust me it is worth the trip.

The presentation: Originally Google was a spectacular company; people aspired to work there. Today, it's borderline complicit in war crimes - but that's not the point of this talk. Google's now famous for deprecating services left and right; this in turn drives people away disheartened. We see user privacy compromises, baseline usability bugs persisting for years, and still we're told that Google has the best technologies in the world. Tell, don't show.
