Using Machine Learning for Fast Test Feedback to Developers and Test Suite Optimization
Software testing, especially in large scale projects, is a time intensive process. Test suites may be computationally expensive, compete with each other for available hardware, or simply be so large as to cause considerable delay until their results are available. The article explores optimizing test execution, saving machine resources, and reducing feedback time to developers.

Federated Machine Learning and Edge Systems
At QCon Plus 2021, Katharine Jarmul spoke about machine learning on edge devices using federated machine learning. Some key takeaways were: federated machine learning is useful for edge devices with limited network bandwidth and can improve data privacy; and learning on edge devices can improve data diversity and allow for predictions even when the device is no longer connected.

Goal-Driven Kanban: Improving Performance and Motivating Teams
Goal-Driven Kanban enables teams to choose from and focus on challenging goals along the road. Teams are free to choose their pace and can take a break whenever necessary. They can set a voluntary deadline for the goal chosen together with proper time allocation. Naturally, while pursuing the goal, teams avoid distractions, celebrate achievements, and retrospect frequently.

An Introduction to Post-Quantum Public Key Cryptography
Though quantum computers are in their infancy, their further development could make them commercially available. When that day comes, all public and private keys will be exposed to quantum threats, a massive risk for every organization. Understanding quantum computing growth and the impact it would have on cryptography is key for everyone, irrespective of their role.

Embracing Agile Values as a Tech and People Lead
Having worked as a software developer, the agile community has been a great source of inspiration to me to find better ways of working. In my first leadership role, I incorporated the agile mindset which helped me to get everyone working towards a joint goal: refactoring an inherited codebase for scalability, while enabling cross functional teams to work as autonomously as possible.
