Hey @todd.ginsberg you should advertise your talk

[Jakub Gwóźdź]

the one about "look at great things in java11 and 15"? Yeah, I enjoyed that. Also - respect for refraining from saying "kotlin has it for years now" even once. I wouldn't be able to stop myself 🙂

[todd.ginsberg]

I’m doing an informal talk with the Chicago Kotlin User Group about Advent of Code! It’ll be an intro to AoC, some lessons learned, and then we will do some mob programming. :). I’m on the road today (daughter back to college 😭) and will post something later today!

[todd.ginsberg]

Also, thanks for the kind words on that Java talk. Hah.

[David Whittaker]

sounds like a fun event! definitely let us know the deets.

[David Whittaker]

@wakingrufus maybe tweet this link and include @ericwastl and he might retweet it :)

[Jakub Gwóźdź]

looks like you need to be a member of Chicago KUG to see that.

[bjonnh]

@wakingrufus isn't the CKUK meetup page open for all ?

[wakingrufus]

Its is. You just need to join the group to sign up, its open registration

[David Whittaker]

I got in without a problem but I do have a meetup account already.

[wakingrufus]

You do need a meetup account to sign up

[Jakub Gwóźdź]

ahhh it'll be 2am for me, I think I'm going to pass attendance, but I'd love to see the video later!

[todd.ginsberg]

@Jakub Gwóźdź how do you pronounce your name?

[David Whittaker]

It might be something like this. Click the speaker in the Polish box. Google Translate

[David Whittaker]

It sounds to me like "Guh-vooz'd-ch"

[Jakub Gwóźdź]

Hahaha! So for over a decade now I work with various western companies, from U.S., Ireland, Scotland, Norway. I appreciate the effort of coworkers trying to pronounce my last name, but usually I say "Yakoob is fine" 🙂
It's exactly like David linked to google translate 🙂

[todd.ginsberg]

Thanks! :)

🙂 just watching right now

[todd.ginsberg]

Haha cool. I hope I said your name right. I really really tried to practice your last name beforehand but felt I wasn’t getting it so I just used your first name.

[Jakub Gwóźdź]

Haha it was great. 🙇 Thanks for the mention 🙂

[todd.ginsberg]

Your stuff is great! Thanks for doing it and I have so much respect for all the work you did on it. 🙏

[David Whittaker]

It was fun to see how you format your solution template. And I learned some new Kotlin functions. Thanks for the session! I'll definitely need to read through your blog posts before this year's AoC starts.
