 All right good morning everyone all right without taking too much of your time I would like to welcome mr. Venkat Subramaniam my mentor my friend it's an honor to have him over here all right I'll leave the stage to Venkat you have one answer thank you thank you very much it's definitely a great pleasure to be here with you to talk about certain things that I care about the most and I'm certain that you care about the most as well it would be nice to get the slides on the screen great so I want to talk about something that has been in my mind for quite a while I one of the things that I love the most is is developing software programming that's my passion I am a programmer I love being a programmer and I can't imagine a day when I don't code is like a day with no sunshine that's how I feel about it and I like to really code and the reason I really like to code is it is a really a fantastic form of expression it is a way that we can express our thoughts our ideas and then we can go back and refine it to change it and evolve it so as a result I would like to go pick up different ways to do that and so along the way I realized that there's a lot of fun doing it but there's also a certain treacherous path we have to take so the title of my talk today is it could be heaven or it could be hell the pleasure and pedals of being a polyglot programmer we'll talk about what that means along the way but let's talk about why we should do and the entire talk is going to focus on just one thing about you why should you care to do any of these but before we do that a quick show of your hands how many of you are programmers here that's great I'm in the right place how many of you are testers by any chance a few of us great I'm gonna have to do other things in software development quite a few of us and I'm not if you will not raise your hand no matter what I ask okay good excellent there's one Neil thank you so so absolutely that's that's basically we are in the right place we are among programmers who are passionate to learn and of course there are several programmers out there but what makes you different is you care about your craft you took the time away from your rigor and what you do so you can actually learn and get better but the reason why this is important to us is after all it is so true that we really are what we eat and we have to really keep out for what we eat and of course I'm talking about eating as food but it is not just food that goes through our mouth but the knowledge the content the things we hear constantly we absorb we see this makes a huge difference why am I so worried about it and that's because there are so many companies out there trying to sell us all kinds of things like this one kind of scary isn't it
