    R&D: Developers and Fools

    Language -RU

    Basically, everyone around here says for a long time that things are bad in this IT thing, and it's time for the bubble to burst. But for some reason it is alive and vibrant, and it's the IT people who suffer. They burn, they get depressed, but they fly like moths to the light of their monitors.

    This is not a talk, not a speech, but a session of group reflection, where we will try to pull the collective unconscious from the individual conscious. Dress code is free, bring your own drinks.

    When the interface lags

    Language -RU

    The majority of benchmarks have blind spots and find far from all the retarded areas of the code (and, it turns out, the interface). As a result, we have to look for performance problems with a poorly developed toolkit and not with the most sophisticated algorithms.

    In this talk we will analyze how Chrome DevTools can help in this situation and learn how to identify resource-intensive code sections.

      Lightning talks

      • the talk must somehow overlap with IT in a broad sense.

      Activity will not be broadcast.
