Selling Cats as a Developer

How do you explain BEAM to someone who’s never used it?
In this talk, Piotr Nosek takes a playful approach with the question: how would you sell a cat to someone who’s never seen one?

It’s a light but practical look at using empathy, analogy, and storytelling to make complex technical ideas resonate.

Target audience: Beginner–Intermediate-Expert
Topics covered: beam #communication elixir erlang advocacy
Speaker: Piotr Nosek
