PRO WORKSHOP: Demystifying JavaScript Package Managers: (p)npm, Yarn, and Beyond

Tuesday February 11, 2025 12:00pm - 12:50pm PST

Dev Security World Stage

Lukasz Pater, CERN, Software Engineer

As JavaScript continues to dominate web development, effective package management has become essential for navigating the increasing complexity of modern applications. This talk dives into the mechanics of three leading JavaScript package managers—npm, Yarn, and pnpm—shedding light on their distinct approaches to dependency management, performance, and disk space optimisation. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of how each tool handles node_modules, along with their advantages, trade-offs, and guidance on choosing the right package manager for any project.

We’ll also take an in-depth look at package.json, the core of every JavaScript project. Beyond just listing dependencies, this file offers powerful features like scripts, peer dependencies, versioning strategies, and more to help streamline project management. In addition to package management, the session will explore the JavaScript module ecosystem, its inherent challenges, and how package managers simplify—or complicate—the process of module loading.

Finally, we’ll cover advanced topics like zero-install setups, workspaces, polyglot tools, the impact of package managers on DevOps workflows, along with emerging players like Bun, Deno, and Yarn Berry.

Thursday February 20, 2025 9:30am - 10:20am PST

VIRTUAL Frontend World

Srik Gorthy, ByteDance (TikTok), Senior Data Scientist

In the era of Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI-driven insights, the quality of data holds the key to business decisions. Yet, biased samples — often overlooked or underestimated — can lead to flawed conclusions, unreliable models, and a loss of trust in data-driven systems. Whether biases stem from data collection methods, under-represented groups, or feedback loops in AI systems, understanding and addressing them is crucial for maintaining the integrity of insights.

This presentation examines the pervasive challenge of biased data samples and discusses key issues that data practitioners frequently encounter. From selection bias, where certain groups are systematically excluded, to response bias, where participation is skewed, biased sampling can distort the data landscape in subtle but significant ways. These biases have direct real-world consequences: for example, a cancer detection system that erroneously associates the presence of a ruler in mole images with malignancy, or an autonomous driving system trained without accounting for real-world deviations from traffic rules.

Recognizing bias is just the first step. The presentation will explore actionable strategies — like thoughtful sampling design and bootstrap resampling — to detect and mitigate bias, ensuring insights reflect reality more accurately. By examining real-world examples and practical approaches, this discussion invites professionals to rethink how data is collected and analyzed. Looking beyond the data means understanding its imperfections, challenging assumptions, and adopting techniques that uphold reliable decision-making in an increasingly AI-centric world.
