Tech Talks Weekly #8 ☀️ ☀️ ☀️

2024-03-29: All the recently uploaded talks from NDC, GOTO, KubeCon, CppCon, and many more!

Happy Friday 👋

Welcome to the #8 issue of Tech Talks Weekly! This week has brought some fantastic talks from NDC, GOTO, GeeCon, CppCon, KubeCon, Code BEAM, ElixirConf and many more.

The theme of this issue is security as there are plenty of brilliant talks uploaded earlier this week from NDC Security 2024 that took place in Oslo this January. I particularly enjoyed the one about passkeys and the future of cookies.

Two quick tldr; updates:

1. I would highly appreciate if you mention Tech Talks Weekly to your friends or/or coworkers by e.g. sharing it with your teammates on Slack. This helps me with my mission of building a community around people who enjoy watching tech talks. Thanks a ton 🙏

2. I’ve put together an anonymous Google form where you can share your interests. If you have 30s of spare time, please fill it in as this helps me send out a better content every week.

That’s it for the updates. Enjoy the talks!
