18:00 - Greetings 🍕

Meet people, network, eat, and chill before the event begins. It's a fantastic opportunity to get to know each other.

18:50 - Introduction 💁

We regroup. Organizers briefly introduce the newcomers, and we thank the host.

19:00 - Quick Shares ⚡

Short presentations from the community. You can stand up and propose something if you want.

Typical interventions could be:

• I want to say hi (3 seconds)
• I discovered this new tool, here's the website, you should check it out (1 minute)
• I've prepared a little presentation with a few slides (max. 10min)

19:30 - Round-table discussions 💬

Anyone can propose one or many subjects. We all vote on these topics and pick the ones with the most votes. Then we'll split into a few groups to discuss these.

You're free to stand up and change groups during the evening if you want to.

Examples of past topics:

• What is the ideal work setup for devs at work? (e.g., local, cloud-based, hybrid, etc)
• AI code editors, workflows + pros and cons
• What are the soft skills a good developer should have?
• Clean architecture VS feature-based architecture
• How do you choose a backend technology?
• How to handle the evolution of anemic model to DDD model?
• Discussing how to prepare for and perform well on technical interviews when job hunting.
• Monorepos: yay or nay? Pros, cons, tooling, and workflow

20:30 - Recap & closing

We regroup again. One person in each group does a short recap of what was discussed, so everyone gets a TL;DR of the different discussions.

Then we say goodbye and go home, full of joy and motivation, until the next meetup.

See you there! 😃
