Robust and sleek Docker-based Continuous Integration as a service. I used CircleCI prior to them becoming a sponsor and I love that their free tier is powerful enough for small personal projects, even if they are private. Use this link when you sign up to let them know you came from here:

💛 FUN FUN FUNCTION
Since 2015, Fun Fun Function (FFF) is one of the longest running weekly YouTube shows on programming 🏅 thanks to its consistency and quality reaching 200,000+ developers.

🤦‍♂️ The Failing Together concept is what makes FFF unique. Most coding content out there focus on step-by-step tutorials. We think tutorials are too far removed from what everyday development is like. Instead, FFF has created a completely new learning environment where we grow from failure, by solving problems while intensively interacting with a live audience.

Tutorials try to solve a problem. Failing Together makes you grow as a developer and coworker.

📹 Each show is recorded live on Twitch in a 2-hour livestream on Mondays. The host, assisted by the audience, is tasked to complete a programming challenge by an expert guest. Like in the real world, we often fail, and learn from it. This, of course, reflects what the audience identifies with, and is one of the most praised aspects of the show.

⏯ On Fridays, an edited version of the show is adapted for and published on YouTube.

Content Topics revolve around: JavaScript, Functional Programming, Software Architecture, Quality Processes, Developer Career and Health, Team Collaboration, Software Development, Project Management

Talk title: Gettin’ into the (Tensor)Flow

For the past five years, all the cool kids have been doing Machine Learning but as Javascript developers, we have been left out, not really getting invited to all them cool parties. Well, a new decade is on the horizon and it feels like everything is about to change.

What do you need to know to be able to follow along?
This talk will be inspirational but basic knowledge of Javascript and React Native will increase the “inspiration” multiplier.

Piérre Reimertz can do many things, but writing a bio in 3rd person is not one of them. I love to be creative in all forms of it; code/design/music. Much of my though is put into Nopamine and how to make the web fun again while preserving our privacy. I’m also co-founder of Mavencook, a food startup based in San Francisco.

Hey this is really cool! Really nice intro to tensorflow.
It's nice that it supports node, but do you think there will be much usage there? From what I've kinda heard, there are languages faster than javascript that implement similar solutions.
