====================
The Principal Engineer Path
Have you ever been curious what it takes to become a Principal Engineer? This is the story of a random Brazilian woman who made lots of mistakes and weird career choices, but still became a Principal Engineer in one of the biggest banks in the world. In this talk I do not aim to give you all the answers, but I’ll share my biggest mistakes and lessons learned, so that you don’t need to make them yourself, sprinkled with a bit of Women Who Go lore.
Key points covered in this talk:

• Career Planning
• Education vs Learning
• Technical skills
• Soft skills
• Community engagement
• Open source

Idempotency in Distributed Systems: Preventing Duplicate Data
As Paddle migrated from a PHP Monolith into a Go microservice based architecture we needed to add good idempotency controls. This is the story of subscriptions imports journey to deduplication, how data integrity is achieved now and where it might go in the future.
