Lightning Talk: Submarine Spying - Sherry Sontag - ACCU 2024
---
Sherry Sontag recounts an episode from her co-authored book "Blind Man's Bluff" regarding submarine espionage during the Cold War, emphasizing the importance of creativity in even the most regimented environments. She tells the story of a Navy officer who, after being dismissed from Admiral Rickover's Nuclear Navy, devised a plan to gather intelligence by tapping into Soviet underwater communication cables. Inspired by childhood memories of riverboat rides and signs marking cable crossings, he convinced the U.S. government to send a submarine into a remote Soviet sea to locate and tap these cables. This daring mission successfully intercepted Soviet communications, providing valuable intelligence that contributed to the easing of Cold War tensions. Sherry Sontag encourages the audience to explore further details in her book and a related documentary.

The ACCU Conference is the annual conference of the ACCU membership, but is open to any and all who wish to attend. The tagline for the ACCU is 'Professionalism in Programming', which captures the whole spectrum of programming languages, tools, techniques and processes involved in advancing our craft. While there remains a core of C and C++ - with many members participating in respective ISO standards bodies - the conference, like the organisation, embraces other language ecosystems and you should expect to see sessions on C#, D, F#, Go, Javascript, Haskell, Java, Kotlin, Lisp, Python, Ruby, Rust, Swift and more.The ACCU Conference is a conference by programmers for programmers about programming.
Discounted rates for members.
