I am a software developer who is getting into speaking.

Composition is the sweet spot in programming. The longtime wisdom in the object-oriented community (for those willing to listen) has been "Favor composition over inheritance." Functional programming is fundamentally compositional, and so is the internet. This talk will use category theory to unpack the how and why of composition and argue we should wholeheartedly embrace it at all levels of abstraction. Don't worry if you are intimidated by abstract math; I am a category theory n00b myself and this is a practical examination rather than a deep dive. (For Pittsburgh TechFest 2016)
