“Wow, that’s a lot of people” - Exactly my thoughts.
\nThe sheer amount of people interested in the next level of everything was simply overwhelming.
\nIn this article I want to highlight my personal impressions and key takeaways from being at the web summit for the first time.
\nI’m probably not alone as being a frequent user of hackernews on ycombinator as much as reddit and imgur.\nThus I was intrigued by the appearance of the initialised() crew including reddit founder Alexis Ohanian and Garry Tan as much as the panel about the future of social networks that was held with the imgur founder Alan Schaaf.\nWhile Alexis and Garry from initialised() had more to say on an inspirational level of things and encouraged founders to step up by handing a set of values down to them, Allan Schaaf actually shed some light and what he thinks is the future of social networks. He mentioned snapchat, youtube and of course his own platform as open networks, that allow users to explore beyond their filter bubbles.\nHe also pointed out that he believes that social networks should be entertaining as one of their adaption KPIs. I thought all his points were valid and since that day, I started dividing social networks in \"closed/bubble\" and \"open\" categories myself.
\nFrom my university days I have a (small but significant) background in microbiology and thus I was excited to see a panel about using DNA as storage and which progress has been made so far on that technology. I was satisfied to see that there are still founders ask the questions of tomorrow's tomorrow, as in \"How can we store all of humanities data?\" Hyunjun Park and his company CATALOG are one of the solving teams on this problem.
\nWhile I thought that the visionary part and the progress that has been made so far was pretty cool, I had a million of technical questions, which unfortunately weren't being read from the web summit in-app possibility to submit questions to the talk hosts.
\nThe DNA that CATALOG is using is artificial, nevertheless my main burning question was \"Would real life viruses be a threat to those DNA-'Disks'?\" Are hackers of the future writing their own plasmid ring vectors with artificial virus DNA to destroy compromising data? That sounds like a cyberpunk short story waiting to be written.
\nSimilarly visionary questions are being asked by companies and founders who want to commercially explore space. It never occured to me, that companies like SpaceX or the cubesat projects where just the tip of the iceberg on commercial space usage.
\nWhat I learned is that there are companies like Vector Launch, that sell launches of small scale rockets that can be chartered for surprisingly low prices (50kg payload for 1.5M$, which is around 35 cubesats!). Should I become rich one day and stop caring about money, I will launch a crate of Scottish whisky into space as a measure of refining, in hope that there is also a company that salvages that stuff from space.
\nOf course fun and leisure has to be there as well, so there was also Virgin Galactic, a company that is tightly working on making space tourism a reality. Their presentation was pretty convincing. Maybe I'll save the money for the whisky and launch myself - given I'd be rich. A ticket to space currently costs 250.000$.
\nAn idea that totally baffled me was the what3words project which I find personally absolutely amazing and which in my view is just one billion-people integration away from a breakthrough. These people divided earth into a set of 3x3m squares and addressed each of them with three simple words. My desk at work is //abfinden.hübsch.ansehen - there you go! Pay me a visit.
\nThey recently integrated into the mercedes benz navigation systems and if you imagine one of the really heavy traffic websites and apps out there using what3words as a location service instead of GPS, just over night large portions of mankind would start using it.\nAfter coming home from the web summit, I found out what all kinds of w3w I have in my personal environment and I now have a w3w for my desk and my wife has one for her favourite spot on the couch. The fridge w3w is popular, the one for the dishwasher isn't. You gotta love the future!
\nI truly enjoyed my time at the Altice arena, including the night-summits and the cheap cab rides. If time allows, I will definitely try to catch the 2019 web summit. While I sometimes missed the technical deep dives on topics, it was deeply satisfying for the curios me to explore, watch and meet the hundreds and thousands of booths, speakers and enthusiasts from all over the world.
\nI’m so going to build my own cocktail robot!
\nA hybrid social life has begun in the spring of 2023 after the pandemic. We have experts at AUTO1 Tech that have been invited to different public speeches.
\nOn May 25th 2023, our Director of Software Quality Assurance, Alexander Gyulai, gave a session on the topic of MODULAR AUTOMATION at TEST AUTOMATION DAYS 2023, where networking with software testing professionals and learning from the world’s leading test automation experts.
\nHe focused on topics of scaling, architecture and collaboration in automation testing. And the details covered in
\nHow and why to move common components into modules and how to re-use it across the company.
\nHow did we scale testing of our platform with 700+ services and hundreds of releases per month.
\nSetup release and distribution process of the automation modules
\nIntegrate platform modules into automation components
\nBesides technical advantages, he also shared how this approach improved collaboration and communication between developers and quality assurance engineers.
\nFabian Schomm-von Auenmüller, Head of Data Platform, was interviewed in July by the Data For Good Podcast, which is hosted by Zuma, a recruitment agency focusing on data technology professionals in Berlin.
\nIn this interview, Fabian focused on the monitoring and assurance of data quality within data pipelines. He explained that data observability encompasses processes from logging to monitoring, alerting, and ensuring data quality throughout its lifecycle. Fabian emphasized that catching data issues early is crucial for maintaining trust and preventing downstream problems. He recommended initiating data observability practices as early as possible and discussed tools like Elementary that integrate well with DBT (Data Build Tool). He highlighted the benefits of having explicit tests to validate assumptions and being prepared for failures. Fabian anticipates that future trends in data observability might involve leveraging AI and machine learning for pattern recognition and anomaly detection, ultimately enhancing the quality and reliability of data pipelines.
\n\nWe are proud of Alexander and Fabian and their works that provided an insight to the everyday projects and challenges the Technology team at the AUTO1 Group manages. We hope you find these as interesting as we do. We all grow along with the company, as does our data and infrastructure. Let’s work SMARTER instead of harder!

While the fridge is more or less filled and usable throughout the week, it is being refilled to the brim on Friday mornings by our beer enthusiast volunteers.
\nSome weeks ago, something terrible was discovered during breakfast, with only seven hours to go until Feierabend.
\nQuickly after, nihilists and dark tourists took over the scene and waved their doomsday scenarios at the crowd or tried to ply out “funny videos” for their individual amusement only.
\nConsidering this happened in an engineering kitchen, solution design and problem solving ingenuity kicked in quickly.
\nThese were the contending approaches:
\nAt this time the crowd agreed that this epic challenge could only be taken on by a single hero, as the prophecy predicted. And it was known as Beerxcalibur.
\n\n\n“Only the one who removeth the beer frometh the fridge can be considered the true king/queen”
\n
More solutions came in:
\nWhile a dozen experts discussed solutions and got all excited about possibilities, constraints, KPIs and SLAs, math and physics, laws of gravity, risks and opportunities, one lonely guy without any contextual knowledge and with no video camera attached to at least four parts of his body went to get coffee, saw the bottle, opened the door just a little bit, let the bottle slowly slide down to the bottom, picked it up, sorted it into the shelf it belonged to, took a picture with his smartphone and went back to business.
\nThe picture, once posted to the beery solution slack room, caused several people to walk through all the stages of grief.
\nAnd of course, someone had to ask the question: How many engineers do you need to fix the beer fridge.
\nThe answer is: 15. Well, one. But 15 engineers helping, you know ... \"Helping\".

\nWe’re smilingly shaking hands with tradition. While we have been more on the introverted side of things for the past five years, focussing on building a platform that is the cornerstone of a multi-billion Euro business, we're proud of the culture and stack we have been building and want to use this channel to open ourselves up from now on.

And pass the blinking cursor to our editorial team.
\nYours truly,
\nThe AUTO1 Group Tech Department.
