This was a talk I gave at the first Heart of Clojure in 2019. I wrote more about why I enjoyed it so much at the time. You can also see the talk on Youtube. Good morning. I was going to ask if everyone’s feeling awake, but I think after that karaoke, I think everyone’s pretty well awake by now. This talk is called Building Stable Foundations, and it’s about building stable long lasting foundations for the Clojure community.
