Pinnochio plays The Pied Piper in the Software World

Proposal status is Rejected
Session Description

I am a bad engineer and a person who focuses on 10 different things at the same time instead of one. Most of the times that is how engineers are, just like the links in Wikipedia pages which flow from say the history of "Rosetta Stone" -> "Mamluk Sultanate" -> "Nile Delta" -> "Hieroglyphs" and so on.
You are not really supposed to click all the links you see, but some do just by the nature or their curiosity.

In this talk, I want to talk about a few of my shenanigans while working at Ente.io (and in general) as a Tech Support Engineer but not really focusing on support and instead spreading his octopus hands into unnecessary things. I plan to cover a few of those shenanigans where I learnt detailed things about some tools and technologies by getting into unnecessary things whereas the answer to most of my problems was literally just in front of my eyes. I will talk about how I learned a lot of things while fixing one thing and how those things have made me feel amazed about technology, software and code.

Some keywords I'd like to share about those shenanigans:
1. Nil, Null, Number
2. Batteries
3. PG, typeof
4. BUH6SZiv9lbNVb6gK05UFibZDaMtJz8Z69BJkd4Rtus=

I find this situation to be a very neutrally effective one because if you don't zoom out you are literally a horse with horse blinders and just think of solving some X issue by some definite approach. But, its also about the process of learning, maybe learning's from those shenanigans turn out to be useful in the future.

To conclude, I want to have some fun, spend some time drawing stuff for this presentation and the point of this talk is really "Just for Fun". I can't assure if I'll help them "Deep Dive into the Ocean of Code" or "Unveil <this> Technology" to them, but they'll probably have fun.

Key Takeaways
  1. Don't be me

  2. Things happen with practice and time, don't try to be the Neil Armstrong

  3. "What I cannot understand, is what I cannot create" ~Feynman

  4. Have fun.
