This video was recorded at Code BEAM V EU 2021 - https://codesync.global/conferences/code-beam-sto-2021/ Keynote: If at first you don't succeed, try again smarter | Mike Wiliams - Erlang Co-Inventor and Fred Herbert - co-founder at Erlang Ecosystem Foundation ABSTRACT Mike has seen it all begin, from the early Erlang experiments, down to its ban from Ericsson, until it rose from its ashes like a phoenix. Fred joined the community later, on the first hype wave following WhatsApp's early successes, slowly making a place for itself in cloud software. Together they've seen Erlang and other BEAM technologies successfully adopted, but also have seen them fail or be abandoned. In this presentation, Mike and Fred source from their experience to offer insights about the challenges you will encounter and mistakes that can be avoided when trying to push your workplace to use new technologies, where good tech is not enough to succeed. • Follow us on social: Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeBEAMio LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/27159258 • Looking for a unique learning experience?
