					                    Abstract
					
						Inspirational sports speeches have motivated and reinvigorated folks for years. Whether you’re a developer or an athlete, they’ve withstood the journey because even the smartest, the bravest, and the most resilient need some encouragement on occasion. During our time together, we’ll use Python and a speech-to-text provider to transcribe sports podcasts that contain inspirational speeches. We’ll discover insights from the transcripts to determine which ones might give you a boost of energy or rally your team. We’ll discover common topics of each sports podcast episode and measure how they leave us feeling: victorious or perhaps overcoming the agony of defeat. We’ll also investigate if there are any similarities and differences in the sports speeches and what makes a great motivational speech that moves people to action. By the end, you’ll have a better understanding of using speech recognition in real-world scenarios and using features of Machine Learning with Python to derive insights. This talk is for developers of all levels, including beginners.

        Kubernetes and LaunchDarkly; The Junction of Deploy and Software

            Teams are leveraging Kubernetes (and other container based technologies) to improve the speed at which they ship and deploy applications, however, Kubernetes still largely focuses on solving these problems through infrastructure concepts.

            Every so often, you’ll read a performance benchmark (of a Java or other application), with bold claims for how well X performs compared to Y.

        Programming
        Are Programming languages... *Actually* Languages?
        Tuesday Oct 25 / 04:10PM PDT
        
            
            Spoiler: proooooooobably not… But Second Language Acquisition and Tech Skill Building share a *lot* of similarities. Despite their best efforts, people regularly stumble in their language-learning AND Dev/DevOps journeys. Why is this, and what can we do better?
