🎤 Hilary Stohs-Krause (in person) - What rock climbing taught me about programmingSo many tech folks rock climb that it feels like the setup to a joke: “How many coders does it take to ascend Mt. Everest?”
Turns out, scaling mountains and scaling databases aren’t all that different. In this talk, we’ll explore 10 lessons from rock climbing and how they can be applied to coding.About Hilary: Hilary Stohs-Krause is a senior software engineer at Zscaler. She volunteers regularly with several tech and community organizations, including as an organizer for Madison Women in Tech and board member for Forward Fest, Wisconsin's largest tech and entrepreneurship festival.
She loves board games and bourbon barrel-aged stouts. She’ll read any fantasy or sci-fi she can get her hands on.🎤 Ifat Ribon (in person) - Yes, &…: Ruby’s Secret Talent for Improvisation
Did you know Ruby is an improviser? With its ability to take blocks at will, Ruby lets methods pass the conversation to blocks that happily accept what’s given and add to it. This talk explores blocks, procs, and lambdas as Ruby’s way of saying “Yes, and…”, with playful examples, surprising behavior, and joyful chaos along the way.
About Ifat: Ifat is a Principal Architect at LaunchPad Lab in Chicago. She enjoys untangling complex problems, finding the right words for hard things, and helping teams make confident technical decisions. She’s a big fan of good abstractions, long runs along the lakeshore, and finding the signal in the noise.
