Title: Automate Keep-The-Lights-On Work 100x Faster

Speaker: Kyle Forster, RunWhen

Description: You know how every engineer seems to get interrupted hundreds of times per week to do Keep-The-Lights-On work? With traditional tools, automating this work typically takes more time than it saves. Even when the work is repetitive and tedious, the sad state of affairs today is that "human middleware" is often a better ROI than automation. At RunWhen, we are building massive libraries of Keep-The-Lights-On automated tasks that you can use this afternoon. Our platform lets you build AI Engineering Assistants for your team that handle interruptions by finding (and running) tasks in your environment. Our customers tell us that this approach is about 100x faster than traditional automation initiatives.

Title: Building a cloud-based full-stack app the Open Source way

Speaker: Pier Paolo Ippolito

Description: Since Google launched Firebase, it has never been easier to develop applications end to end with small budgets. As part of this talk will introduce you to the concept of bootstrapping and how I developed Linkaout (https://linkaout.com/) using open technologies such as Supabase, React and Google Gemma (including deployment on Android and iOS).
