Indy Cloud Conf 2019
I gave two talks at this year’s Indy Cloud Conf. It was the first time that I have ever spoken professionally in front of a crowd. I had a lot of nerves leading up to the event, but I feel like I put my best foot out there. It was a fulfilling experience, one that I’ll certainly be looking to do again.

That prevents us from proxying based off some data in the query itself. That leaves us with a couple of options
Home Assistant, and Kubernetes, and Z-Wave, Oh My!

const foo = () => { return Promise.reject('Rejected Promise'); }; The console will look like
Promise Rejected. reason = 'Rejected Promise' Now the naming of catch makes it seem like it should also handle errors. If foo looks like
