Backend Meetup PRG

During the pandemic, we moved into new offices, which have already been named Best Startup Office of the Year. We’re excited to show you our new event space (in person) as we host our first Backend meetup of 2021!

We’ve put together an awesome program for you:

Talk 1: Entropy and the life of a software engineer

Speaker: Michal Těhník, Staff Engineer at Productboard

Description: Entropy is an inevitable part of the universe, so why do you think you can reduce it or completely remove it in your software project? It’s hidden everywhere, and you need to shift your thinking in order to become a happier software engineer.

Talk 2: Property-based testing in practice

Speaker: Marek Třešňák - Backend Developer at Mews

Description: Property-based testing is one of the lesser known approaches to writing automated tests. But in many scenarios, it can be used to create a more resilient test suite with lower effort. This talk will focus on explaining the basic principles of PBT and provide some tips on how to use it in practice.

We look forward to meeting so many great people together. However, safety is a priority! To attend, you’ll need a negative Covid test that’s no older than three days. If you have been fully vaccinated for at least 14 days, then you don’t need one. And if you can prove that you’ve had Covid in the last 180 days, that works, too.
