With everything moving to the cloud, why haven’t our development environments? In fact, they already have!

With CDEs (Cloud Development Environments) you get all the power of the cloud: elasticity, scale and security, but for your dev environment.

Gitpod’s “Dedicated” deployment model enables companies sensitive code and access to never leave their cloud account perimiter.

Building on Jim’s intro to CodeWhisperer, Lou will give a 101 on CDEs and how architectural deployment models like Gitpod Dedicated can accelerate the adoption of Generative AI in an organisational setting by resolving many of the security, audit, privacy and data concerns.

Join us also after the talk to dig into the intersection of CDEs and Generative AI over a drink or two!

Have you ever noticed how much time you spend troubleshooting your local development environment before you can actually begin writing code? Software engineers spend a large amount of their time per week managing their local development environment or waiting for builds and tests to complete. Since we've moved most creative workflows to the cloud, including processes like automated continuous integration and continuous deployment, how can we address the 'works on my machine' issue?

In this talk we will explore the topic of cloud development environments (CDEs) and how to remove friction from the developer experience through increasing velocity, collaboration, and control.

Some of the finest leaders are the ones who remember what it was like to work their way up from the bottom or who can foresee themselves in other positions.

As corporations are being taken over, we have seen a shift in how companies function on a human level. In this session, you’ll learn how to use empathy driven development as your superpower to become a better engineer.

The talk would start by demystifying the myths, followed by how to embed empathy in your engineering practices. We'll focus on how developer empathy plays a major role in every stage of your career, be that as a mentee or a mentor, a junior or a senior engineer, etc.

This talk is going to be beneficial for everyone, no matter the experience level. From junior engineers to seniors, community members, managers, etc. This talk is suited for all the technology teams, enterprise leadership, or open source communities as they will learn how to elevate their work with developer empathy, in every field.

Empathy is the root of open source and communities. It's what makes us human and builds a thriving culture. This talk will benefit the ecosystem as we'll learn how to implement the highly overlooked developer empathy practices in our day to day lives along with some of the mistakes to avoid.
