Software Crafters - November

"We build our computer systems the way we build our cities: over time, without a plan, on top of ruins." – Ellen Ullman

Hello, Craftspeople!

This time around we're planning a fishbowl on a topic that was recently discussed on the Software Crafters Slack group (http://slack.softwarecraftsmanship.org/): recruiting. We'll try to range from processes, to interviewers to interviewees. Here's some suggested areas:

• What is the current state of the recruiting process in our industry?

• What are we looking for when we apply code challenges?

• As a candidate, what questions should I ask?

• How to create an environment where the candidate feels safe to ask questions?

Also, our friend Thibaut Géry (and a pair) are presenting a lightning talk on Feedback (https://github.com/SoftwareCraftersSydney/events/issues/17)!

Here's the proposed agenda:

• 6:00pm – 6:20pm: Dinner

• 6:20pm – 6:30pm: Introduction

• 6:30pm – 7:45pm: Recruitment Fishbowl

• 7:45pm – 8:00pm: Break

• 8:00pm – 8:20pm: Lightning Talk on Feedback

• 8:20pm – 8:30pm: Quick retrospective

See you there!
