I have about $600 left for this year for professional development. I'm a Haskell developer building web backends at an Insurance startup. I'm open to books, courses, conferences, anything really.
Buy a ticket and plane ride to Poland for Lambda Days 2022. Depending on the flight and stay, it would cost close to $800, but you might be able to talk your boss into covering the difference.<p><a href="https://www.lambdadays.org/lambdadays2022#register" rel="nofollow">https://www.lambdadays.org/lambdadays2022#register</a>
I’d posit that your best value for the dollar is going to be joining both IEEE Computer Society and ACM.<p>The membership benefits between the two will easily add up to $600 in value, plus you’ll be able to professionally participate in regional or local activities.
