Daniel Fone Software development is the anticipation of a thousand dangers: regressions, edge-cases, exceptions, attacks, downtime, the list is endless. Drawing from a wide range of disciplines, we'll build a simple model for quantifying danger, explore why the human brain is so bad at it, and examine some practical applications for our development processes. There will be at least one science. [Daniel](http://daniel.fone.net.nz/) has been writing Ruby/Rails for about 10 years. In recent years...

Nadia Odunayo Business is slow for Ruby Private Investigator, Deirdre Bug. She's on the verge of switching industry when she gets a call from an anxious young man. "Some class methods have gone missing," he tells her breathlessly. "I need your help." Deirdre takes the case and begins exploring Ruby objects behind the scenes. Though she thinks she's on familiar ground - Ruby's object model, method lookup - she's about to discover that she really has no clue....

Beth Haubert How are you supposed to sing along with your favorite TV theme song every week if it doesn't have lyrics? At my house, we "meow" along (loudly). We also code, so I built 'Meowifier' to convert any song into a cat's meows. Join me in this exploration of melody analysis APIs and gratuitous cat gifs. I built an application that takes a song's audio and outputs a new audio file with that song's melody **sung by cats**. It's a technical feat. It's hilarious. It's beautiful....
