Nowadays, it's become easier for developers to handle DevOps tasks, and doing that makes you more marketable. Today, we'll do a quick overview on what the buzzwords actually mean and whether it's a good idea or not to implement continuous integration, continuous deployment, and continuous delivery into your workflow. We'll dive into setting up CI/CD within GitLab and using it to build, test and deploy a web application!

Abstracts
A company has been accused of obfuscating privacy controls, making it hard for their users to control their own information. It's seemingly impossible to unsubscribe from a business's email list, and you receive messages from them every day. The deal on the website seemed great, but once you were ready to check out, that price had skyrocketed.
All of these scenarios are examples of dark patterns, or user experience patterns that seek to maximize company profits at the financial and/or mental expense of their users. They trick the user into acting against their best interests and ultimately alienate users from the company's brand.
In this presentation, you'll learn about the different types of dark patterns, the psychological tricks they use to meet their KPIs and how to recognize them in the wild. Furthermore, you'll learn alternatives to these patterns that you can put into practice.
How to Talk to Your Cat About Dark Patterns
I don't get the title at all, although I might be missing a meme or reference here - it just confuses me. I love the subject matter personally, it seems really interesting but it may be a turn-off for some because it's not something they will be able to use when they get back to work. You briefly mention at the end that you'll learn alternatives to dark patterns, maybe expand on this slightly to help me understand what I'm going to learn?
@GeeH Thank you for the feedback! I'll revise them and let you know when I've finished tweaking them.

Continuous Everything
I like this, it's nicely succinct and explains what you'll be talking about. The only thing I would change is the fact you don't mention what problems you'll be helping me solve. Maybe mention something like "have you ever had to deploy on a Friday afternoon and felt worried all weekend?" or some other problem that CI/CD/ helps you solve.
