‘Build IT Right’ Conference in Newcastle Upon Tyne 21st November CfP is open if you’re interested in speaking. Also early bird tickets only £99 + VAT http://bitrconf.org

@agile_geek what kind of sessions are you looking for?

or, I'll just read the page

ignore me haha

I guess I mean, what's the vibe? what level of practical versus whimsical?

@alex.lynham it's pretty broad. We are not focused on any specific language or technique. Almost anything would be considered.

Personally I like practical with a heavy dose of whimsical!

I would like a few experience report style talks but I think we need a few more academic ones as long as they talk about how to apply the techniques to real world. So a talk about comonads might be alongside a talk on CI/CD

I might submit something on serverless then as it's what I'm doing by day and by night right about now

<<Personally I like practical with a heavy dose of whimsical!>> I have far too many disaster talks 🙂

@alex.lynham that would be awesome....please do!

if I can come up with a bad pun as a title... 😛

that’s my raison d’etre! (Read my blogs for inspiration! http://devcycle.co.uk/blog )

@jasonbell maybe we could do an act together!

Singing and dancing?

@thomas @agile_geek https://media.giphy.com/media/rkzzbDnhmRvry/giphy.gif

possibly...

I’d pay good money for that! (If I wasn’t already getting into the conf for free!)

@agile_geek racking my brains for a simpsons reference that involves servers

WAIT

I might have it

"Oh, I didn’t get rich by writing a lot of checks managing a load of servers"

actually bill gates' other quote in that scene is relevant too

"I can't tell what, if anything hyperglobalmeganet serverless does...."

also speaking of puns, your "code warriors" got a snort of tea from me iirc http://devcycle.co.uk/TDD-Thats-Design-Done/

then again, hard to argue with: > Servers? Where we're going, we don't need servers!

@agile_geek here's a lunchtime procrastination sparked by that old blog post: https://gist.github.com/the-frey/5cce0f631ff28ec39a7637bff36d3ab6

Everyone needs servers. Serverless doesn't exist 😛

Serverless is just someone else's server

Like the Cloud is just someone else's computer

"Not My Problem" is useful though 😉

don’t ruin the illusion 😭

A cloud in the sky running ur programs for you

☁️

> "Not My Problem" is useful though

yarp

I mean, the hype around serverless is tedious

but the ability to get some code running without having to manage the servers is gold

it's like docker on steroids

but there's loads of complexity that comes with this pattern (like w/docker)

Hmm

if I have 2 clojure.java-time zoned-date-time objects, how do I do arithmetic on them to work out the duration between them?

All the time maths functions seem to be around altering a single time by a duration

or time-between returns a number based on the requested parameter (e.g. days between, or minutes between), but won't give you an actual duration object or duration string like "PT4H3M53S"

Aah, output it in :millis and it goes into duration nicely
