Juha-Matti Santala: Why developers should write blog posts

Writing down what you learn and think is a powerful tool and sharing them with others can have a big impact in your life. I've been blogging about technology on and off since 2013 and more consistently since 2018.

In this talk I share what I've learned by blogging as a developer and hope to inspire you to pick up your proverbial pen and start writing.

Mikko Harju: Let's learn us some Erlang for great good

In this talk, we'll take a look at what's Erlang, the distributed system built
by Ericsson for their telephone switches, making it possible to deliver systems
with 9-nines of uptime a reality. Most famously used at WhatsApp, delivering
messages for 450 million users with just 35 engineers.
