How can humans differentiate in the AI era

Fri 20 Nov 2026 • 15:10 (CET) • Basic
Stage 2

In the era of AI everyone is talking about speed. The discussion is shifting more toward agents and away from humans. So where would the humans differentiate and what are the skills that would be most valuable going forward?

We will discuss agility, growth, quality, mindsets that drive humans forward and what should leaders do to build an adaptive safe environment teams and individuals can evolve. We will explain that AI has an Agile mindset. We will demonstrate with data from previous experience the benefits of agile mindset and an adaptive safe environment.

We still need people, we need individuals that can think and challenge AI results, validate them and evolve in parallel with AI.

Embracing Chaos: Harnessing the Power of Chaos Testing for Resilient Systems

  • Testing is essential to ensure that your software application performs as expected. No doubt about it. But even if your application runs smoothly in a testing environment, unexpected incidents can occur in production, such as a crashed database or a lost connection to a third-party service. To ensure your application can handle such incidents and minimize their impact, you need to incorporate chaos testing into your delivery process. In this workshop, we will start with a brief introduction to k6 for backend performance testing and we’ll explore how to implement chaos testing using k6 for two backend services, to help you ensure the resilience of your application.

Liberate your data using Redis Stream and Go

  • Redis is an in-memory database popular for many use cases, such as content caching, session stores, real-time analytics, message broker and data stream needs. Since version 5.0 of Redis a new data structure, Redis Streams, dedicated to managing streams has been introduced. Using Redis Streams, anyone can do a lot more than what was possible with Pub/Sub, Lists or Sorted Sets in the data stream domain. In this all-hands session, we’ll walk you through the basics of how to use Redis Streams, how consumer groups work, and finally show a working application using Go that uses Redis Streams.
