DAHO.AM is a tech conference bringing together some of the best developers in the world to discuss the topics: Evolve Yourself and Build Tech.
The conference covers all the things developers care about, both technology and personal development. Technical education is only one half of the equation. The other half is improving yourself, your team, and your mindset.
DAHO.AM helps you to become the best developer you can be, pushing boundaries, charging your career, and getting inspiration.
Conversational interfaces are already becoming one of the main ways how users will interact with product and services. This specific type of interface, either voice- or text-based, presents product and development teams with new challenges how to build this types of applications and also, requires decisions where to focus the development efforts. This talk will show how to design conversational systems from the ground up and gives an introduction about how Fineway build its Conversational Recommender technology as a real-world example.
Young startups often assign the title CTO just to the most technical person and that’s their definition of the CTO role. The industry however distinguishes between three technical leadership roles, the CTO, the VP Engineering and the Chief Software Architect. The CTOs primary role is to connect business and technology. In this talk, I’ll define the role of the CTO through my experience from different companies. With examples from my previous roles I also show how business and technology are intertwined and how the CTO has to lead in both directions. I will also provide some advice, on how to grow into the CTO role.
AI, VR and Big Data are seen as the drivers of change. But what electricity is for devices, are values for social systems and society. In a world of growing complexity and digitalization, we need an equal understanding of how we relate to ourselves and others. The questions arises: If Deep Machine Learning becomes increasingly important in a technology-driven world, what would Deep Human Learning look like? In this talk, we want to explore the importance of personal values, reflection and life-long learning.
We developers don't feel addressed when it comes to climate change. We don't run factories, we can work from home offices, and our laptops consume very little electricity. The environmental sinners are the others. But if you look at the figures, we are far less innocent. Bitcoin alone generates more CO2 than the 165 million inhabitants of Bangladesh. 5 seconds of Internet video generate one gram of CO2, an e-mail 4. A single Bitcoin transaction generates more CO2 than 100 km in the SUV, 2% of the total CO2 volume worldwide is generated by the Internet alone. So we are not uninvolved, but directly responsible for CO2 emissions. But what does this mean for our work? What can we do to reduce our Co2 footprint and the solutions we create? Can we really work climate neutrally if we want to?
I am a man who walks alone And when I'm walking a dark road At night or strolling through the park When the light begins to change I sometimes feel a little strange A little anxious when it's dark Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a constant fear that somethings always near Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there ----- One of the most crucial processes in a startup is the Due Diligence. Leaving a good impression is key to investors’ money. Tech people, especially young founders and CTOs, are often dramatically unprepared when it comes to a technical due diligence. On the other hand, with a bit of preparation, a Due Diligence (DD) shouldn't be a reason for sleepless nights. Chris Philipps has been on both sides of the game, as CTO as well as reviewer. In this talk Chris will to share their experience: - What is important in a Tech and Product DD, specifically for an eCommerce company? - How can one be well-prepared? - Red flags and green flags - How to discuss (and sell) skeletons in the closet? At the end of the session there will be space for your questions.
