My First SoCraTes

I wish you all your first times to feel so good !

2016

My take aways

• Pairing is fun , even more with nice people
• Mob programming in scala after midnight is hard
• !!Elm!! why is it not widespread yet ?
• I want to know more about event sourcing
• I suck at typing ! (and I am working on it : ratatype.com)
• I have strategic skills
• I want to learn to clone myself, meanwhile I'll go to other SoCraTes (un)conferences !
