Technical Debt & Refactoring

Once more, we are proudly joining forces with JSHeroes in May, an event open for both communities 👥.

While we’re still interested in keeping up with the latest technology, more often than not, our day to day work requires maintaining and improving existing codebases. Identifying what’s wrong, and knowing what, how and when can be improved are all valid topics that require our attention a lot 👩‍💻.

We invite you to join us in a discussion on Technical Debt and Refactoring. We’ll learn from three panelists, all three speakers at the JSHeroes conference who have deep knowledge on these topics.

See you soon! ✨
