Azure AI Speech Service Configuration

Azure AI Speech now splits config paths forTTS(text-to-speech) andSTT(speech-to-text) when usingmanaged identity—and yes, they're different enough to matter. Roles, env vars, and auth flows don’t line up. Private endpoints? They nuke regional fallbacks, so you’ll need to pass full URLs. A shared ut.. read more

Typed languages are better suited for vibecoding

Claude’s making typed, compiled languages feel like cheating. Rust, Go, TypeScript—rising fast where Python used to reign. Why? AI coding tools now catch bugs early, validate sprawling diffs, and help devs grok unfamiliar codebases without breaking a sweat. Compiler guarantees + AI pair = fast, safe.. read more

OpenAI prepares to launch GPT-5, but big leaps are unlikely

Internal testing showsGPT-5edges ahead of GPT-4—better code, cleaner math, sharper step-by-step thinking. But no breakthrough. No leap. OpenAI even scrapped “Orion,” the original GPT-5 push, and settled on GPT-4.5 instead. Translation: scaling Transformers is hitting a wall. System pivot:OpenAI’s n.. read more

One Dataset. No Warning. Google Took Everything. You’re Not Safe Either.

An indie dev got their Google account nuked—no warning—right after unzipping an NSFW dataset on Drive. It was for benchmarking a private, on-device AI model that actually beat the cloud. Didn’t matter. The system flagged a CSAM violation, locked everything, and offered no appeals. Key takeway:If yo.. read more

GitOps Done Right: 10 Best Practices That Make It Work
DevOpsDayLA is Southern California's premier conference focused on the human side of technology delivery. For 15 years, we've brought together SoCal practitioners who understand that great software isn't just about tools, it's about people working together effectively.

The 2026 Lens: DevOps in an AI World: You're working in a world where AI is everywhere, embedded in your tools, requested by your management, and reshaping how teams deliver software. Whether you're embracing these changes or navigating the challenges they create, your experience matters.

We're looking for stories about how you and your organizations are adapting your mindsets, processes, and team dynamics in this rapidly evolving landscape. How did your team integrate AI into existing workflows? What changed about collaboration when AI entered the picture? Where do humans remain critical in automated processes? How do you build the next generation of engineers when entry-level work is automated? What are the real implementation challenges you're facing in Southern California's entertainment, gaming, aerospace, retail, healthcare, and manufacturing companies?

What makes DevOpsDayLA different: We focus on culture, collaboration, and cross-industry implementation stories rather than pure technical deep-dives. We're all about the people and processes that make technology successful in an AI world, not the technology itself.

We especially welcome new speakers, under-represented voices, and fresh perspectives from across SoCal's diverse tech landscape.
