By the time I’m writing this abstract NPM has 568,191 packages. Tomorrow an average of 447 new ones will be published. In this talk, I will not complain about it. Instead, we will study this phenomenon in depth and see what can we learn from JS Fatigue and how to deal with it without headaches.

This talk is geared towards getting people up to speed with how Modern Javascript works. The bulk of this talk will be used to cover the newer Javascript syntax, since that syntax will be used in the following React Talks. The Modern JS talk will also cover how to navigate the board Javascript ecosystem, and we will be touching on topics such as Node, NPM, and some of the various build tools that exist. Additionally, we will discuss some more advanced Javascript topics like Async Programming, and building modular Javascript applications.

At Uber, we are using natural language processing and conversational AI to improve the user experience. In my talk I will be delving into 2 use cases. In the first application we use natural language processing and machine learning to improve our customer care. The other use case is the recent launch of a smart in-app reply system that allows driver partners to respond to incoming rider messages at a click-of-a-button. Finally, we will cover the components common to most conversational AI systems.
