Agenda #

Metaprogram like you’re ashamed of it #

fell sunderland says:

Why I think you should have some shame when you’re doing meta-programming, and what that looks like in practice

Between Structure and Chaos #

Swathi Kantharaja says:

How do we balance mental bandwidth in a world that never slows down? This talk explores what happens when we run ourselves at 100% capacity, trying to be fully structured, why that leaves us stuck rather than productive, and a more honest way to think about career progress beyond chasing titles.

Afterwards #

When the talks come to an end we’ll decamp to a local pub for some food, some drinks and some chat with your fellow attendees.

Of course, even though this is the socialising part and seems more informal, please remember that still we consider it to be a part of the meeting and covered by our code of conduct.

Venue & Registration #
