8:15 PM: 🗣️ Leave a legacy, not legacy code by Stefano Baldan

We’ve all been there and done that: staring at a piece of code... and wondering who wrote that awful pile of garbage. The Git blame log often gives the dreaded answer - it was you, six months ago! Is there something better you can do than jump on a pimped DeLorean and slap your past self in the face? Stefano will talk about what needs to be done after the task is done, focusing on good practices and habits in documentation, testing, and automation. By the end of this talk, you’ll know everything you need to produce work that stands the test of time and inspires awe instead of disgust in future generations of developers at your company.

9:00 PM: 💃 Social Hour
