Our wonderful Host: Circle Medical 🌟

18:00 - Greetings, food & drinks 🍻

Enjoy food and drinks, meet people, and chill before the event begins. It's a fantastic opportunity to get to know each other.

18:50 - Introduction 💁

We regroup. Organizers give a short intro to the newcomers and we thank the host.

19:00 - Lightning talks ⚡

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

Typical intervention could be:

• I just 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? (ex: 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 you actually choose a backend technology?

• How to handle evolving of anemic model to DDD model ?

• Discussing how to prepare for and perform well on technical interviewers 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 anyone 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! 😃
