*What*


   - *Snakes on a Car: Or, Over-engineering a Toy*
   By: Kat Cosgrove
   Description:

   Like a lot of engineers, I like to tinker. I also like hardware hacking,
   video games, and over-engineering the hell out of something. When my team
   at work decided to build a proof of concept demonstrating the possibility
   of fast over-the-air updates for edge devices, we settled on using a car as
   the example of an edge device. It’s flashy, you know? This also presented
   me with an opportunity to do all of the things I love, and call it work:
   build a self-driving RC car, and then let people race it around a track
   using a repurposed USB racewheel, a handful of open source tools, and whole
   lotta Python. DevOps, but make it fun.
   - *Fun with Finite State Machines*
   By: Aly Sivji
   Description:

   Finite State Machines (FSM) are tools we can use to model simple and
   complex workflows. In this (non-mathematical) talk, we will learn about
   FSMs and examine how they can be used to improve software design. We’ll
   finish by diving deep into a couple of Python implementations of FSMs. Full
   disclosure: one of the implementations is a library I created.
   - *Don't be beholden to your tools*
   By: Dave Trollope
   Description:

   How KnowledgeHound innovated by breaking usage of existing tools to
   solve two immediate problems. A discussion of Django, SQLAlchemy, Pure
   Python, and Pandas.
