Talks

WeAreDevelopers, JS Poland, ng-India, and rooms in between.

I speak at developer conferences and meetups, and in closed rooms for tech leaders and management. English and German.

For developer stages

Plausible Isn't Correct

A team shipped on Monday. By Tuesday their agent had sent six thousand apology emails, and they had every log and no explanation. The talk names why: plausible is a wide band, correct is a narrow one, and a better model narrows that gap without closing it. You leave with the five blind spots behind failures like that, and three things to do on Monday.

For leadership rooms

The Slow Path Is the Fast Path

Everyone is selling a fast path, and the demo always works. Then it meets data nobody prepared, and the quarter becomes a year. The talk shows what readiness actually means, why the unglamorous work compounds while the shortcut does not, and where this leaves you in three years when every competitor has the same models. You leave knowing where your own organisation stands.

25 · 45 min

Both also run as a half-day workshop with your own systems in the room. English and German.

Dates are booked directly. If you organise a meetup or a conference, write to contact@markusnissl.com.
