Ahoy, developers and tech enthusiasts! We invite you to the enlightening Svitla Smart Talk: Complex Problems... and other ways to disappoint your friends. 

Most developers have heard of "Big O notation" but it stops there.  One step further is a cliff.  If you don't know it's there, it was nice knowing you.  *Pirate accent* THAR BE SEA DRAGONS *end dramatic accent*

It's hard to make computer science interesting, or even relevant, but in this talk, Gant Laborde will focus on the key aspects you must pay attention to.  It's important to know when you stumble across an NP-Complete problem, and what you can do.  We promise a short journey into the jungle of PSPACE for developers who have never even heard these terms.

This is a beginner and expert-friendly talk.
