What do you learn from not using Erlang?
About a year ago I decided to make a big career change and after 15 years of working as an Erlang developer try “something different”. Not because I had enough of Erlang, but to catch up with the “outside world” after such a long time. What has changed? How does the Erlang ecosystem compare to its competition? It turns out I didn’t only get answers to these questions, but some more. What makes it easy or hard to onboard someone to not just a new project, but an entirely new tech stack? Do early-phase projects require different tools? Join me for this talk where I try to turn these questions around, and discover how we can improve our ecosystem and also the onboarding journey of newcomers!
