is there a suggested topics list for the conj?

@bvulpes: There's a list, but so far nothing on it - https://github.com/clojureconj/clojureconj2016/wiki/Suggested-Topics

2016-08-10T20:54:42.000019Z

neato, thanks shaun-mahood

shaun-mahood 2016-08-10T20:54:49.000020Z

Here's the one from Clojure/west - https://github.com/clojurewest/clojurewest2016/wiki/Suggested-Topics - not sure how helpful that is, though. You thinking of proposing a talk?

2016-08-10T21:14:49.000023Z

mhm!

I’m toying with the idea of a talk about how World Singles is using clojure.spec (as an Experience Report)… thoughts?

shaun-mahood 2016-08-10T22:39:34.000025Z

I would be so on board with that

2016-08-10T22:40:01.000026Z

seancorfield: did you write a thing about use of core.spec at world singles? i recall something on the topic but can't find it on the web for the life of me.

seancorfield 2016-08-10T22:40:51.000027Z

I posted about it on the mailing list several times...

seancorfield 2016-08-10T22:41:14.000028Z

…I haven’t yet blogged about it.

2016-08-10T22:44:27.000029Z

weird!

2016-08-10T22:44:29.000030Z

weird.

@seancorfield: def worth proposing

2016-08-10T23:19:42.000033Z

yeah i too would love to hear more about your spec use seancorfield

2016-08-10T23:20:22.000034Z

i've been overwhelmed by the attack surface, finding it difficult to figure out where to start using it in my test suites/production/dev

seancorfield 2016-08-10T23:26:39.000035Z

It took us a while to get a feel for where it best fit… We ran a spike on it for a couple of weeks as part of a large refactoring around validation and member profile updates, for some new REST APIs we’re building… and that’s all merged back to master now. We’ve had Clojure 1.9.0 alphas in production for a while so the next build we do will actually have clojure.spec usage in it.

2016-08-10T23:31:47.000037Z

and me to you, developerfriends, i'd never have even bitten the project off had it not been for a good friend who needed the assist desperately.

2016-08-10T23:35:39.000038Z

i think this qualifies as "experience report"?

2016-08-10T23:35:54.000039Z

anyways, happy to receive feedback

seancorfield 2016-08-10T23:57:51.000040Z

What would the title be? I'm trying to determine the core focus from the abstract but I'm not sure... something about testing?

seancorfield 2016-08-10T23:59:00.000041Z

Probably a good idea to say what the "rock-solid webapp" actually is / does. That helps folks determine how applicable it might be to their own work.
