Arrêtez de faire charger des tonnes de JavaScript à vos internautes.
Les sites web sont censés être légers et performants.
Comment utiliser JavaScript sans compromettre les performances.

Les 10 dernières années ont marqué l’arrivée en force de JavaScript dans tous les domaines. Autrefois réservé à rajouter un peu d’interactivité dans votre site avec jQuery notamment, il s’est imposé comme un langage de choix pour établir tout le socle technique de vos sites internet, applications web et plus encore; avec toutes les dérives qu’on connaît. Après les années folles et naïves marquées par des scripts délivrés aux internautes toujours plus volumineux, nous arrivons désormais dans une période qui s’appuie sur l’expérience et la maturité acquise afin de remettre en question ces modes de développement pour se focaliser sur la quête de performances. Cette quête repose en partie sur l’approche de ne délivrer que le minimum, voir aucun JavaScript à l’internaute.

Explorons ensemble les options disponibles, ainsi que leurs avantages et inconvénients. Cela sera également l’occasion de questionner cette “problématique”. Il n’est pas question de définir si JavaScript est bien ou mal, mais plutôt de déterminer comment l’utiliser au mieux.

Themes : Team collaboration, leadership
During this event, Gilles shares his journey through improvisation theater, and demonstrates how the principles of improv serve as tools for enhancing soft skills, collaboration and leadership in any kind of environment, even the most dynamic.
You will discover how the art of making spontaneous decisions, collaborating in the moment, and playing off each other’s strengths can not only craft a captivating stage performance but also foster a powerful team.
Those skills are not rocket science, and anyone can acquire them. Expect hands-on exercises, personal anecdotes, and stimulating group discussions.
You will leave this session with a better understanding of improv, collaboration at work and leadership, as well as concrete tools you can use to explore those topics.
No prior improv experience necessary.
Gilles (He/Him) is a senior designer at :ratio, a UX agency based in Lausanne, Switzerland.
He organises UX events in Switzerland (IxDA Lausanne) and globally (IxDA Interaction conference).
He is also a speaker, a speaker coach, an hybrid event organisation consultant and he creates software like Gimbalst
Lately, he developed a passion for Improv theater.

Theme : AI
Le grand public a récemment découvert des programmes de machine learning (apprentissage automatique) comme DALL·E, Midjourney ou Disco Diffusion capables de générer des images à partir de commandes textuelles. Ces images sans auteur·trice, d’une qualité impressionnante, suscitent l’émerveillement tout autant que des débats au sein de la communauté créative internationale, qui s’effraie de la menace que ces processus font planer sur la survie des professions d’illustrateur·trice ou de photographe.
Fin observateur de ces technologies depuis plusieurs années, Anthony Masure (professeur à la Haute école d’art et de design de Genève) élargit cette question dans son nouvel essai Design sous artifice : la création au risque du machine learning (mars 2023). Son texte vise à évaluer les implications pour le design de la démocratisation de ces programmes, tant positives que négatives. En permettant de mieux comprendre leur fonctionnement et en incarnant son propos de nombreux exemples de détournements d’usages, l’auteur cherche à favoriser leur appropriation critique.

# Theme : Angular/μFrontends
Module Federation is a feature in Angular that enables multiple separate Angular applications to work together as if it’s a single unified application.
With Module Federation, each Angular application can be developed, built, and deployed independently, but they can also share and reuse components and modules from other librariesThis allows teams to split their application into smaller, more manageable pieces and still achieve a seamless user experience for the end-user.

Theme : Mental health in Design
Have you ever noticed that Designer, Developer and Depression start with the same two letters? Coincidence?
All the ingredients for a good depression are intrinsic 
to the tech world: Perfectionism, Comparison, Performance at all costs. 
Simmer in a society where we have to please all the time, where no 
matter what we do we are never enough... BANG, BANG and BANG!
My name is Manon, I am a designer and I went through a major depression. I was off work for 11 months.
While burnout is becoming acceptable, depression is 
still not. Burnout is the badge of honour of the ambitious, while 
depression is still synonymous with weakness.
You should be ashamed of being depressed.

I want to say Fuck the shame.
I want to lift the veil on a reality that too many live 
hidden. Often isolated, the return to "normal" life is a path full of 
pitfalls that I would compare more to a rollercoaster than a cruise in 
my bed.
Between toxic positivism and the cult of "hustle", how to get out of it?

Under the pretext that design is a profession-passion, should we put up 
with everything? Can we have a healthy relationship with our work?

What if healing is loving yourself?
With humour and love, I will speak frankly about 
loneliness and suicidal thoughts but also about acceptance, questioning,
 discoveries and hope at the end of the tunnel. I want to share with you
 the learnings and behaviors I've learned to navigate the discomfort and
 the little things that make my life better now.
Talking about depression is about what makes us human without judgment.

That's where the work begins.

Let's question everything, together.
