I'm so happy to announce that #thebigelixir is happening again this year! Join us on November 7-8th with Robert Virding and Brian Cardarella for another great series of talks around our new theme, "Emerging Elixir!" Check out the site for all the info! thebigelixir.com #elixirlang

Last day for early bird tickets for #thebigelixir !! And I'll just say it once today but our Twitter discount, THEBIGTWEET (bit.ly/2M3rncV) can also be used for these tickets, so grab this deal while you still can!! #myelixirstatus #elixirlang #erlang

BIG NEWS: Given the rise in covid cases and now Hurricane Ida, we have decided to switch The Big Transaction's format into a virtual conference this year. And while we wanted to meet everyone in-person, the safety of our attendees is the most important thing to us. (1/3)

However! This also means we can pass the savings from our physical location costs back to you. So, starting today, tickets for The Big Transaction are just $30! And we will contact all existing ticket holders today to prorate their original purchase to the new price. (2/3)

Get your tickets soon though as there is still an upper limit of attendees that we can support! thebigtransaction.com (3/3)

The Big Transaction is giving away a complete Stripe Increment bundle - all 18 issues - on how to build and operate software systems at scale! RT this for a chance to win! #paymentsengineering Rules: Must follow @thebigtransaction. No purchase necessary. Ends 09/24.

Meet a Speaker: Dathan Bennett from Netflix Engineering began his career in industrial computer vision, moving later into web development, and then to #payments. He's currently a Senior Software Engineer at Netflix Engineering, working on APAC payments and global network token integrations.

Reminder that the giveaway ends tomorrow – it's open to anyone even if payments engineering isn't your cup of tea!

@crawfordcomeaux It's not a problem, just sent you a mail and what you've got to do to get involved

@crawfordcomeaux Alex is ambivalent No problem, just make sure you have a good understanding of rules beforehand (makes things much easier on my side)
