Forget Moore’s Law. Algorithms drive technology forward
Moore's law enables great progress, but often it's the underlying algorithms that drive computer science forward.
Level Up: creative coding with p5.js – part 2
In this session, we will turn our static drawings into animations!

“This should never happen. If it does, call the developers.”
If there is one thing developers like less than writing documentation, it's responding to unnecessary escalations.

Getting started with … Rust
In this series, we look at the most loved languages according to the Stack Overflow developer survey, the spread and use cases for each of them and collect some essential links on how to get into them. First up: Rust.

State of the Stack: a new quarterly update on community and product
Teresa Dietrich leads Product, Community, and Engineering at Stack Overflow. She will be posting quarterly updates laying out key accomplishments and future goals.
Level Up: Mastering statistics with Python – part 5
Rather than dig into complex math or over-simplify by using a pre-written function, we'll write our own binomial test function, primarily using base Python. In the process, we'll learn more about how hypothesis testing works and build intuition for how to interpret a p-value.
Infrastructure as code: Create and configure infrastructure elements in seconds
IaC allows developers to supply IT environments with multiple lines of code and can be deployed in a matter of minutes (in contrast to manual infrastructure, which can take hours if not days to be deployed).
Best practices can slow your application down
In order to get the most performant site possible when building the codebase for our public Stack Overflow site, we didn’t always follow best practices.
Level Up: Mastering statistics with Python – part 4
While many introductory statistics classes teach the CLT, very few actually attempt to prove it because that requires some complex math. In this session, we'll bypass all that math by using Python loops to simulate the CLT.
