Engineering the 4th Dimension:The science of time and the art of synchronization

Hello Hello and Happy New Year! 🎉

Did you miss us? We know we missed you. ❤️

In our last event of 2024, we explored how Generative AI 🤖 is reshaping UI design by speeding up workflows ⚡ and automating repetitive tasks 🔄. This empowers teams to focus on creativity 🎨 and strategy 💡 while bringing ideas to life faster than ever 🚀✨!

Now, we’re kicking off 2025 with a timely adventure ... literally! ⏳ In our very first event of the year, we’ll take you on a journey through time 🕰️, exploring how humanity’s understanding of time measurement has shaped the world of distributed computing. From ancient sundials 🌞 to the precision of atomic clocks ⏱️, we’ll uncover the science behind keeping systems perfectly synchronized across the globe 🌍.

Our Time Management Keeper will be Lucian Rosu, Engineering Manager @Snyk, who's always ready to empower others and facilitate growth 🌱. With expertise in distributed systems 🌐, he’s the go-to person for all things behind the scenes 🛠️. His secret? An incredible patience for research 📚 and a knack for uncovering insights that others might miss 🔍.

When: Thursday, March 6th, 6:30 pm, at this year's main sponsor's headquarters, One Cotroceni Building C — Stripe Offices — 11th floor.

Need a boost of engineering in your new year? We've got you covered!

🚀 A fresh wave of inspiration for everyone out there:

• Software Engineers: You'll now get the grained-down research on time you prooooobably should've always done
• Entrepreneurs: Looking at making your app, website, or technical business scale across timezones and regions? You might want to get ahead of the problem.
• Aspiring Professionals & Interns: I know I wished to have known all of this before actually starting to work with time, not it's your chance to actually do.
• And every curious mind: If you’re fascinated by technology and how the concept of time is represented in distributed systems, how a simple `Time.now()` works the same everywhere, this is the place for you.
