Money is Undefined or Not an Object: Personal Finance for Developers

Note: The originally-scheduled talk from Isaac Levin on Application Insights has been rescheduled to November.

Kamran was financially illiterate. He was making a six-figure income but didn't understand how to manage it until 9 years into his career. No one ever explained it to him plainly. No one told him that if he saved half his income out of college he’d be retiring at age 38. And if they had, he's not sure he would have listened. "Wealthy" just meant "rich." That felt out of reach.

Investing? Not a gambler. He was contributing to his 401k at work but that's it. Ignorance was bliss, he was on auto-pilot. Until his daughter was born and he was about to double the cost of daycare.

Kamran was fed up. He decided to educate himself and it changed. His. Life. In this talk, he'll take you through his financial journey, introduce a life optimization framework, show you how investing works, whisper secrets about HSAs, and talk about what it means to “design your life.” You’ll even debug taxes together. He promises it’ll be fun. In less than an hour, you will know everything he wishes he knew 10 years ago laid out in plain language.
