Dániel spent 15 years as an Erlang developer, starting at Ericsson in Budapest, through Erlang Solutions all over Europe and arriving at Klarna in Stockholm. He loves working on the challenges of system reliability and scalability: areas where the power of Erlang really shines. He has most recently joined evroc to build a sovereign European cloud – no longer working with Erlang day-to-day, but definitely not leaving its powerful principles or vibrant community behind.
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!
