Node.js Meetup #43 (Pizza 🍕 and Drinks 🍺)

## Details

### Presentations 📽️

Talk One: Why Contract-Driven Development Works
By: Alexander Braunreuther

Contract-driven development centers the API contract, allowing teams to work in parallel from day one. With mocks, generated clients, and tooling from a single source of truth, engineering teams move faster and integrate with less friction. This talk shows how a simple contract accelerates delivery using TypeScript, ts-rest, Zod, NestJS (or Hono), React, React Query, Postman, and more.

Talk Two: The Silent Developer’s Survival Guide
By: Anastasiis Kudriavtseva

We all want good management, clear communication, and fair credit. But we don’t always get them. A guide for introverts and low-key folks who want to grow, be heard, and survive the review season. Visibility is a tool — not a personality trait.
