Hacker News Meetup #16

Hey, all! We're back for the 16th edition of the Hacker News Meetup, hosted at the offices of Tandem in Mitte. Drinks and food starting at 7 pm as always, welcome chat begins at 7:30 pm.

Talks:

1. "Building RESTful JSON APIs with gRPC" by Diego Barberá, Software Engineer @ Fraugster

Diego is a Software Engineer at Fraugster where he develops backend services as part of the team in charge of their Dashboard.

In his talk, he will demonstrate common tools and techniques used to build JSON APIs based upon a gPRC service definition, generating reverse proxies, validators, and documentation.

2. "Dirty Programming Secrets" by Paul Baecher, Software Engineer @ GetYourGuide

Programming involves a broad range of abilities and qualities. In this talk we'll have a look at a mechanical aspect that is often greatly undervalued and explore ways to improve.
