All the projects I didn't finish, and why it was worth it

In this talk, I'll go through a couple of these projects, and share some of what they've taught me, as well as how their legacy affected other projects in the ecosystem. And who knows, maybe you'll get inspired to try something crazy with Scala too?

About This Talk

Over a decade of working with Scala, I've started some projects that never quite took off. Nevertheless, they were learning experiences - whether it was something to do with native code, SQL, binary encodings or higher-kinded data - that have taught me invaluable skills that I could use in other contexts (and not just conference talks!).

In this talk, I'll share the stories of 3 of these projects, what they've taught me, and how I now approach side projects in a healthy, sustainable way. And who knows, maybe you'll get in spired to try something crazy with Scala too?
