DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nHow do you decide what to learn next when you’re
  just getting started in tech?\n\nIn this talk\, we’ll explore simple an
 d relatable signals that it might be time to try a new technology\, like w
 hen your app needs to handle many users at the same time\, or when things 
 start breaking in unexpected ways.\nWe’ll introduce Elixir as a tool tha
 t makes it easier to build reliable and scalable systems\, especially for 
 things like chat apps\, live updates\, and systems that need to stay onlin
 e.\n\nNo prior experience with Elixir (or advanced concepts) is needed\, j
 ust curiosity and a willingness to explore.\n\nBio:\n\nLorena Mireles is a
 n Elixir developer with over 10 years of experience in the tech industry. 
 She enjoys new challenges and is passionate about combining her personal i
 nterests with technology\, as exemplified by her collaborations with commu
 nities that promote diversity and inclusion in the industry. She loves cof
 fee and dogs.\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE Rochester Section Women in Engineer
