Buzzword Bingo
Posted on February 23, 2012 at 9:17am 1 Comment 1 Like
James Ward gave a great presentation on Heroku. The server of choice for Facebook developement. He commented on some attendees not being familiar with all the buzzwords he used. So we thought of a Buzzword Bingo game.
I think having a handout with the most common buzzwords especially any the speaker is likely to use would be useful. I have always thought having a handout about the speaker and topic would be a good idea. I have never had the time to actually create such a useful…

Presentation: Building a Future-Proof Observability Platform to Empower Engineers
Wayne Bell and Dan Gomez Blanco discuss the architectural and cultural shift required to scale observability at Skyscanner.

Discover how the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Java SDK is establishing a new architectural discipline for enterprise LLM integrations.

In this podcast, Jaromir Hamala, a seasoned Java engineer specialising in high-throughput data systems, shares his thoughts on how developers can tackle high-performance software development.

Microsoft's Russinovich and Hanselman argue in a CACM paper that agentic AI creates an "AI drag" on junior developers while boosting seniors, incentivizing companies to stop hiring entry-level engineers.
