Failure is not an option. It's a fact - Abstract
Failure is an inevitable part of success. Failure in the context of innovation efforts has helped thousands of start-up companies to succeed but in the context of a known execution process, it can harm results or reputations or create undue risk. In software development we are situated at the cross road between innovation and known processes so how do we benefit from failure and achieve success?
In this session we will explore several studies and best practices of successful companies that have embraced them both.

GitHub Copilot - Abstract
Copilot (https://github.com/features/copilot/) is an exciting new service for developers created by GitHub. Leveraging state-of-the-art language models from OpenAI Codex and the huge public codebase available on GitHub, We created a new tool that can boost developer productivity. This is exciting - but still "emerging" - technology, so a few questions still remain open.
Join us for a quick overview, a live demo and a discussion on how CoPilot works, what it does - and what it does not.
