PyBerlin 41 - ☀️☀️ Summer event ☀️☀️

Agenda:

• 18:30 - Opening doors of the venue

• 19:00 - Welcome to PyBerlin! // Organisers

• 19:10 - Welcome from the host!

• 19:20 - Autometrics-py: the story behind the module // Nele Uhlemann
The autometrics project consist of multiple languages to enable function-level metrics around the latency, request - and error rate of each function in your code base. A central aspect of the development is to define a developer friendly approach towards observability and therefore provide tools to work directly in the code base, the tooltips and the developer‘s IDE. I started together with a co-worker the Python module. In the presentation I will give some insights in design decisions as well as difficulties we had during the development. We will see how the module and tools around autometrics-py can be used.

Speaker's bio:
Nele Uhlemann is a Developer Advocate at Fiberplane. Her passion is enabling collaboration among multiple stakeholders that are involved in building and running Software. Switching sides from application development to infrastructure topics she understands the challenges to enable knowledge sharing to run systems more efficiently.

• 19:50 - Short break

• 20:20 - Techniques for Terrible Leadership // Gys Muller
These days there is plenty of excellent advice for being a great technical leader. However, aggregating, applying, and relating to this advice can often be challenging. Instead it might be easier to explore the opposite by applying the inversion mental model. What if your goal was to be a terrible technical leader? What techniques would you follow? This talk will show how to maximise your chances of being the worst leader you can be, in order to identify behaviours and actions that should in reality be avoided.

Speaker's bio:
Gys loves building things with fellow makers. Over the span of his career he has worked on a range of hardware and software products across a variety of industries. Initially starting out in mechatronics engineering, he pivoted to software development after co-founding a computer vision company. For the past 6 years he has been the CTO of OfferZen, helping to grow the team and developing the product that connects developers with opportunities to build an awesome future. OfferZen’s journey of going from zero to startup, to scale-up, has allowed him to gain valuable experience about people, leadership, and strategy.

• 20:50 - HoloViz: Visualization and Interactive Dashboards in Python // Jean-Luc Stevens
HoloViz is an open-source high-level Python visualization ecosystem that gives you the superpower to satisfy all your data visualization needs. In this talk, you will learn how to build visualizations easily even for big and multidimensional data, how to turn nearly any notebook into a deployable dashboard, and how to build interactive drill-down exploratory tools for your data and models without having to run a web-technology software development project. You will also learn how to turn your dashboard into WebAssembly and run your dashboard entirely in the browser with the magic of Pyodide.

Speaker's bio:
Jean-Luc Stevens is a Senior Software Engineer who has been building custom, open-source visualization and analysis solutions for clients since joining Anaconda in 2015. Prior to joining the company, Dr. Stevens received a Ph.D. in Computational Neuroscience from the University of Edinburgh where he studied the dynamics of neural activity in the mammalian visual system. He now maintains the HoloViews visualization library, originally written as part of his doctoral thesis, which supports the rich interactive data visualization at the core of the HoloViz ecosystem.
