LeicesterJS - February Meetup - Politics of Tool Shaming

LeicesterJS is back for another tech (and pizza) filled evening. Connect with local developers and listen to talks by industry leaders and experts.

Remember we're in a brand new location at the offices of DeadHappy this month! See below for the address.

This month we have a talk being given by James Seconde who is a developer Advocate, speaker, writer, co-host of Fusion meetup, founder of BrumPHP, Developer Relations strategist and software engineer.
He'll be coming to talk to us about "The Politics of Tool Shaming".
Here is a sneak preview of what you can expect from this talk:

"A story of the industry, on why gatekeeping and elitism is bad for your personal development, your business and the tech industry. It's a problem, and I'm going to propose a solution."

But wait! There is more! LeicesterJS Stickers will be up for grabs! Come down and get yourself one!

The scheduled start is 7 pm, with food and refreshments at 7:30 pm, followed by networking and general discussion with a scheduled end time of around 8:30 pm.
