JSConf | How Community Made Me a #T1DCyborg by Jan Schenk |JSConf EU 2019 @jsconf_ | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 11 hours ago
In his talk on Type 1 Diabetes and the DIY community, Jan describes how he and his daughter went from a standard approved therapy to something called looping, which would not have been possible without the immense effort that the community of developers and supporters has put into the Open Artificial Pancreas System (OpenAPS) project for the last 5 years. Looping helped the two of them to increase the quality of their life and avoid otherwise maybe fatal hypoglycemias. He calls to action for everyone to contribute to other communities that complement where medical care systems fails to provide solutions. Every contribution counts, be it still so little.

Boilerplate code (repeatedly used pieces of code) is often the main culprit of unnecessary complexity and cognitive overload in programming. Thats why many books and experienced programmers tell us to avoid it, and we try our best by employing all kinds of methods, like inheritance and abstraction.
Despite this constant effort, we often still encounter boilerplate code. Sometimes, we run into boss boilerplate code, which we just dont know how to deal with.
This talk is for those of you whos tired of this endless battle. I will talk about code factorization, a technique that will help you gain an edge in the war against boilerplate codes. After this talk, you will be able to declare with confidence: veni, vidi, vici.")
