Internal Server Error #130

Closed claudiamatosa closed 6 years ago

claudiamatosa commented 6 years ago

Who hasn't found themselves in despair after hours of trying to debug a problem that seemed simple, because halfway down the line the stack trace ended in a file called throw-error.js, or simply there were no errors thrown and the code just didn't work as expected?

The talk will last between 15 and 20 minutes, will be structured in two parts and there will be plenty of gifs and emojis. It should cover errors in Node and browsers.

1. Common bad error handling scenarios

2. Exploring possible solutions (examples)

Conclusion: your library/utility/api should be built around its users, and they shouldn't need to read the code to know why something is wrong.

@claudiamatosa thank you for your proposal, I really appreciate how clearly it's been thought-through and presented 👍

We'd definitely like to have you give your talk at LNUG. The content and length are both ideal. It's great to get across that an api or app should put the user's concerns first 😄

We encourage a wide mix of attendees to attend, from new'ish Nodejs devs to experienced ones, so if there could be some elements that less experienced devs could take away from the talk too, that would be great.

We definitely have speaker slots available for 25 April and 23 May (possibly for 28 March, too, just need to double-check our schedule).

@admataz @lnug/organisers - any thoughts?

I like the title, but it can be changed if you want!

claudiamatosa commented 6 years ago

@jkbits1 That's awesome, looking forward to it! Let's keep the title then. :)

I would be happy to do it on the 28 of March if there's still a slot, otherwise any of the other dates work.

admataz commented 6 years ago

Hi @claudiamatosa - thanks for the talk proposal - great topic (and title!) - I think this will make a great talk for LNUG.

Your choices for dates: pretty much what @jkbits1 said. I'm happy to add you to the March schedule (we have two talks already planned - but another short talk would be ok) - or if suits you better - one of the other dates...

A couple things we need to confirm:

Adding you to March for now - let me know if you want to change that

claudiamatosa commented 6 years ago

Hey @admataz!

March sounds good, and I have read and agreed to the code of conduct.

admataz commented 6 years ago

thanks @claudiamatosa - and you're on! It's looking to be a really good meetup in March.

claudiamatosa commented 6 years ago

Yay! 👍 ✨

admataz commented 6 years ago

Hi @claudiamatosa - just confirming - all still good for you for this Wednesday?

claudiamatosa commented 6 years ago

Hi @admataz, thanks for confirming. All good! What time should I arrive?

admataz commented 6 years ago

Hi! If you can aim for around 6:30 when doors open - or a little earlier if you like. I'm usually there from about 6 to set up - and it would be good to check all is OK with your slides etc. Talks start at 7pm - I was planning to schedule you for the 2nd talk at which is about 8:00pm, straight after the first break - hope that suits you ok?

claudiamatosa commented 6 years ago

Thanks! Will aim to be there around 6!

admataz commented 6 years ago

Hi Claudia Thanks again for your talk last week - I heard a lot of really good feedback about all the talks - and from the chats I had later in the evening - people really enjoyed yours and related well to the stories you shared.

If you have any feedback from the perspective of a speaker - please let us know - I'd love to hear it. Meanwhile the video from the night is being prepared - and I'll let you know as soon as this is available.

See you again soon!

claudiamatosa commented 6 years ago

Hey @admataz,

Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated!

I have only positive things to say. The room felt familiar and comfortable to speak in. Maybe a mix of the setup (dimmed lights, etc) and a mindful audience. I like the idea of leaving the questions for the pub, not as much because of the speakers, but because it prevents everyone else from getting bored. Looking forward to see how it goes in the the new location!

Cheers
