TALK CHANGED, READ BELOW

We unfortunately had to miss September, but that just makes everyone more hyped for this meetup.

We'll be joining the lovely folks over at Visma | PinkWeb again and our very own Nic will tell us something about Terraform to manage your cloud.

Schedule
19:00 - Doors open
19:30 - Two talks to choose from by Stefan Koopmanschap or Rick Kuipers
20:30 - Social

Unfortunately Nic doesn't feel well and therefore won't be able to present his Terraform talk.

Instead we have two backup talks that will be voted on during the meetup, with perhaps the possibility of both taking place in different rooms.

Talk option 1 by Stefan Koopmanschap
Symfony 0.6 to Symfony 5: What I learned from the framework

I came to symfony (back then in lowercase) before the first stable version. We are now at version 5. Over all those years the framework has evolved massively. In this talk, I'll go through some of the lessons I learned from the evolution of the framework as well as the ecosystem around it, and how we can apply those lessons in our day-to-day work.

Talk option 2 by Rick Kuipers
Decision-making for developers

What do cars, chess and Peter Griffin have to do with decision-making?

Decision-making is a complex process, we go through it multiple times per day. Everything from micro-decisions like deciding how to write a certain function, up to macro-decisions like deciding what framework to use.

As a developer I'm always looking for ways to improve myself, and as a lead I'm always looking for ways to cultivate an effective and autonomous team. One particular skill that is often overlooked is decision-making. In this talk I would like to zoom in on this process.

I will be explaining some of the psychology that goes into decision-making, give you some decision-making techniques, explain how a decision-making framework can help your team and why documenting your decisions is essential.
