Eleventh Func Prog Sweden MeetUp 2021 – IRL and Online

Welcome to the eleventh Func Prog Sweden MeetUp 2021 – IRL and Online

This is a mixed MeetUp, meaning we will have a live audience IRL and we will stream online. So if you want to join physically on the 7th of December, attend the meeting in MeetUp and drop a message to the host here in the MeetUp application or through social media. We will be at the Funnel office in central Stockholm. We do have limited number of seats, so make sure to reserve your seat if you want to join physically.

This MeetUp will be streamed live online on the Func Prog Sweden YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/FuncProgSweden

The program starts at 18.

• Intro by Magnus Sedlacek
• PropEr state machine testing by Max Nordlund
• Banking on Clojure by James Trunk
• A debugging carol - Bugs past, present and future by Emil Hernvall

Abstract for PropEr state machine testing
PropEr is a property testing library for Erlang. In this talk I'm going to take a deep dive into the state machine part. First how to use state machine as a design tool, then how to use PropEr to verify your implementation.

Max Nordlund
I work at Kivra, where the main language is Erlang, and main database is Riak. But before that I’ve worked professionally with JavaScripts for quite a few years. I introduces Promises at my first gig 2013, and haven’t looked back since. They are a lovely abstraction, and later I found out that they are in fact monads. Outside programming I’m a scout leader for youngsters 15-18. Working with kids, and young adults, really teaches you new perspective and to not take things for granted.

James is a technology leader, with two decades of experience building successful digital products and high performing teams. He started his career as a software developer, but an early interest for people, processes, and psychology pulled him towards leadership.

Emil Hernvall
I currently specialize in application-level security, in particular in relation to automated threats (i.e. bot mitigation). I have a broad sets of skills that I have acquired over the years, which include frontend, backend, mobile, desktop, network programming, graphics programming and data science. Although I'm proficient in a about a dozen languages, my preferred language is Rust, which I've been using full time since 2018.

I lead complex engineering projects. Much of my day to day revolves around resolving ambiguity. I enjoy mentoring, and try to spend as much time as possible on guiding junior engineers.

Venue sponsor – Funnel
We want to democratize data. Data is critical for companies to win today, and it shouldn’t be something only a few have access to or know how to work with. We at Funnel want to enable a truly data-driven company culture. And we believe that we can do this by empowering marketers and, over time, all business users to work confidently with their data.
