Update: notes from the event with links to presenters' slides http://glebbahmutov.com/blog/great-league-of-engineers/
Startups appear and fail all the time. What makes one startup productive and successful while the others struggle? We strongly believe a good team with a right approach can be successful in any technology. This evening we are bringing several outstanding engineers and technical leaders to discuss the startup development culture from an engineer's perspective. Come hear several short talks about what works and what does not, and then participate in a panel discussion.
