Leon’s two decades of expertise were concentrated on architecting and operating complex, web-based systems to withstand crushing traffic (often unexpectedly). Over the years, he’s had a somewhat unique opportunity to design and build systems that run some of the most visited websites in the world. He’s considered a professional naysayer by peers and has the opinion that nothing really works until it works for at least a million people. His musings can be found on Medium and @papa_fire on Twitter

In this talk I’ll cover a few key areas is which we all can learn from children.
