Live Event: Peace of mind, from code to personal well being.
Welcome to our office on march 9th for a evening with focus on peace of mind, both internally and when it comes to structure of code and code reviews
About the meetup!
Peace of mind, from code to personal well being
Join us for a live meetup where we focus on reducing our internal stress by creating order in code and in process. In the final session, we take a step back and look inwards.
Acknowledging the fact we are all different and have different needs to perform at our peak is important to realize.
In between talks there will be time to mingle, have some food and a drink.

The Lectures
-
If you are a developer using Visual Studio, chances are you have noticed squiggly underlines in your code that show up when you have written code the compiler cannot interpret. They are only a small part of the surprisingly extensive Roslyn analyzers tool kit.
This session will dive into how the Roslyn analyzers are activated and configured to display suggestions, warnings, or errors. I will look at strategies on how to add Roslyn analyzers to an existing code base without being swamped in warnings and show how to validate the rules during a command-line build. Once enabled the Roslyn analyzers help ensure your code is easier to read and safer to run.

Sometimes it feels like Pull Requests or Code Reviews cause more harm than good. Heated arguments, reviews that take forever, unreviewable PRs, you name it.
But... what if it's not PRs that are bad, maybe we're just doing them wrong?
Let's take a step back and look at some of the ways we ruin code reviews and how we could start fixing our ways by rethinking why we are doing the reviews. -
I'm a lucky guy, and I know it! I'm a middle-aged white male with a good job, a great wife, and all of that. Life is pretty good! Or at least it should be...
The other side of the story is that I have spent most of my career struggling mentally. I've not only questioned myself professionally since day one, but I have also had to take time off work because I couldn't even get out of bed in the morning. Still, most people around me don't have a clue about my situation. When they find out, they generally go "What? You? I would never have thought that"... A response that probably indicates how well I manage to hide it from the world. But I am more and more certain that that is not the right way to handle it...
I have spent a LOT of time trying to find ways to cope with the struggles in my life. Trying to balance my private life and work. Something that is much harder than it sounds in our industry. And I think we need to talk about it.

As software engineers, we must acknowledge the reality that our field is advancing at a breakneck speed and the complexity of our job is constantly expanding. The introduction of new technologies, while aimed at simplifying technical challenges, often adds to our cognitive load. It's time we accept that being a software engineer is hard, but by focusing on bringing order to our code, clarity to our processes, and embracing our true selves, we can reduce the burden on our minds.
