Lightning Talks
summary
About 20 rapid mini-talks pack concrete takeaways: donate to razum and consider hire Ukrainians (Meraki still hiring, many refugees on United for Ukraine), small open‑source wins like a tiny Hanabi docs PR build confidence, Sorbet catches a renamed method before tests fail, NGSpice-in-browser sims show memory usage scaling roughly linearly with duration, and prefer clearer enumerables over clever reduce. Practical tips include buying starlings for power at remote work, making small doc PRs, and using gnu time to measure memory.
