Le sujet
There is a romantic notion that web standards and handcrafted markup with a sprinkle of progressively enhanced JavaScript are all we need to make great web products. In reality though many of these don’t end up on the web and instead we deal with bloated products that expect their maintainers to be programming experts. Maybe it is time to face some facts about the web of today and find better ways to bring our knowledge and quality thinking to a new generation of web developers.
In this talk we’ll look at some harsh realities that we’re not immune to automatization through machine learning and that we need to find a better way to get heard.

Chris Heilmann dedicated the last 20 years of his life to make the web work and thrive. As a lead developer on some of the largest web products he learned that knowledge is not enough without teamwork and good handover. He dedicated most of his time since on educating, writing and sharing, presenting on average at 30 conferences a year. He strives to make code and coders work efficiently. He is the author of several JavaScript books and the Developer Evangelism handbook (http://developer-evangelism.com). He is currently a Principal Program Manager in Microsoft and spends a lot of time pondering how machine learning and AI can aid humans and replace jobs we're too important to do.
