What beginners teach us

Data Architect, Mozilla
I’m here to talk about a passion of mine, but thought I’d also mention
what I do for a living. So for work, I write open source software at Mozilla
- a tool called Socorro that collects and processes Firefox crashes. I
focus on data-related things, specifically Postgres, and I try to keep an
eye on all of our data storage systems related to that. I get to work with
what I think of as medium data, and a bunch of great people, some are in
the audience today :) But rather than talk about my work, I’m going to
talk about what I do with my volunteer time. I chose to do that rather
than give a technical talk, because I thought it would be simpler for me to
explain how I view the world, and the fundamental problems I try to
tackle in all the work I do.
