Or, how I learned what the hell transducers are, and to appreciate proper type systems

I found out about StrangeLoop last year through random people (the coolest ones, obviously) raving about it on Twitter. When Bridget Hillyer announced on the DevChix list that this year's conference was offering a diversity scholarship program, I decided to apply. One of my personal goals for this year is to attend some conferences that aren't PyCon, if only out of intellectual curiosity and in the interest of expanding my horizons. StrangeLoop isn't a language-specific conference, although it seems to lean heavily toward functional programming at the moment (which I gather has not always been the case).

Tech conference tips

• Before you leave: tidy up as much as possible! My mom taught me this; it's lovely to come back to a clean home.
• Live demo: typically, a real-time demonstration of the meaning of hubris.
• If you volunteer to be a session runner or chair, please know that showing up late, or not at all, ratchets up the speaker's stress level considerably and can throw them off their entire game.
