I'll watch Jeff Dean talk about pretty much anything, and his keynote "stump speeches" are more or less a greatest hits compilation of recent stuff from Google Brain.
It's an approach to living your life in a way that lets you be effective at accomplishing whatever you're after. Starting on something similar to a Mazlow's heirarchy(in that you must establish each level before going to the next one), you eventually find a way of not only living better and more effectively yourself, but finding how to expand that to your team and those around you. I didn't expect it to be good, but I liken it to Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People"- it gets to the core of the problem in the best way possible.
Nothing can beat Charles Stress talk in my eyes: http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2018/01/dude-you...
A pretty apt typo given what feeling many of his blog posts induce in readers :).
Really good discussion on event-collaborative microservice systems that scale well for performance and maintenance as well as a good argument and use case for server and client code generation.
Definitely my favorite so far.

Shameless plug for my talk in haystack in April, which was a couple years of casual research rolled up. I really enjoyed giving the talk and I've had lots of great feedback, so thought I'd share it with y'all. "Algorithmic extraction of keywords, concepts, and vocabularies." Sorry only slides and no video: https://www.slideshare.net/MaxIrwin/haystack-2018-algorithmi...
It was really nice to see that the current Devops/SRE best practices are reflections of engineering/operations best practices in other fields
"Maybe Not" by Rich Hickey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR5WdGrpoug Another excellent talk by the creator of Clojure, and like the previous ones, relevant for all programmers.
Rich is a good speaker but I don’t find the line he toes to be agreeable.
