SUMMARY:December 2021 Lightning Talk Night
DESCRIPTION:We'll host up to a dozen presentations 5-10 minutes long. We'll
  try to keep it to 90 minutes but we will probably run over!\n\nWe will re
 cord and are likely to stream live on YouTube\, so subscribe to get the no
 tification when we're live if you just want to watch: https://youtube.com/
 c/codeandsupplyco/live\n\nThe evening's presenters and their presentations
 :\n\n----\n\nSean Bailey\nStatic APIs: Compile/Build Your Data (For Fun an
 d Profit)\n\nServerless apps run into problems with database and API respo
 nse times\, especially when you're running multiple microservices in a com
 plex\, query-based architecture. What if we could leverage the principles 
 of static site generation to speed up data delivery for many types of data
 ? I'll use a few real-world\, production examples (auto-generating images 
 in a CDN\, copy/microcopy content management inside a repository\, and com
 piling five years of legacy learning/course material and referencing it in
  a rebuilt application) to discuss the paradigm of static APIs\, their ben
 efits and drawbacks\, and where they shine.\n\n---\n\nColin Dean\nClassify
 ing work tickets with SEI issue classification\n\nLearn a simple classific
 ation system for your JIRA or GitHub tickets straight out of one of the So
 ftware Engineering Institute's best books\, Software Architecture in Pract
 ice. You'll learn how to classify user stories\, architecture stories\, de
 fects\, and technical debt and use these new labels to power your backlog 
 refinement sessions.\n\n---\n\nSimon Heath\nRobotics\n\nA brief exploratio
 n of the technological and philosophical overlaps\nbetween robotics and vi
 deo game development.\n\n---\n\nTiemoko Ballo\nSafe and Portable Data Stru
 cture Design\n\nThis talk will explore Rust patterns for low-level control
  of memory.\nSpecifically techniques for simultaneously maximizing provabl
 e memory safety and bare-metal portability. Concepts will be visualized - 
 you won't need extensive Rust experience to follow along.\n\nThough the co
 ntent generalizes to any graph/tree data structure\, it's derived from an 
 API-compatible alternative to part of Rust's standard library: https://doc
 s.rs/scapegoat/latest/scapegoat/\n\n---\n\nBryce Allen\nGPU programming fo
 r science\n\nWhy GPUs are increasingly used in scientific applications on 
 supercomputers\, with a simple example in Julia that you can run on your l
 aptop.\n\n---\n\nPhil Pennock\nOn systemd\n\nsystemd: much-maligned but wi
 th many features you'll start to miss when on systems without it\; what it
  offers which you should know about.\n\n---\n\n(CANCELLED) Aiton Goldman\n
 Interview smells : Signs you shouldn't take that job offer\n\nWhen you are
  interviewing with a company there are "Smells"\, just like Kent Beck's "C
 ode Smells"\, that you can look for that will indicate red flags with the 
 company. This talk will be about 5 Questions you can ask that will highlig
 ht problems you should be aware of before considering a job offer from a c
 ompany.\n\n---\n\nYvette Menase\nC&S sponsorship pitch for comp survey and
  comp survey promo\n\n---\n\nTeal Larson\nFront End Dev (SASS)\n\nWhy peop
 le used @import. Benefits of shifting your sass from @import to @use. How 
 @use supports modular sass. Limitations. A brief example either from a cod
 ebase I've been working on or in a small sample project.\n\n---\n\nBruce A
 dams\nFormatting JSON\, oh my!\n\nA very quick survey of existing JSON for
 matting tools\, (such as jq and Python) and some ideas (maybe with impleme
 ntations) for a better tool.\n\n---\n\nSarah Withee\nEasily building web c
 rawlers for data gathering (and fun)\n\nFor a recent work project\, I dete
 rmined one of the easiest ways to get data from 20k+ pages was to build a 
 web crawler and scrape data. I ended up using Scrapy\, a Python framework\
 , to build some super simple spiders/crawlers to traverse the sites to get
  a lot of data we needed. I can show you how to use it\, why you might\, a
 nd example code.\n\nhttps://www.devopschat.co/meetings/december-2021-light
