Awesome Community Talks

Join the next meetup and listen to the following talks.

Retrospective Design Patterns

Nico Riedmann

This talk will disappoint you with the fact that there is no such thing as a “standard retrospective” and that if you’re looking for reusable solutions to retrospectives, you’re trying to solve the wrong problem. We’ll dive into the importance of understanding the team and current situation, when deciding whether your next retro should be another “start/stop/continue, dot-vote, argue and forget” or a format tailored to your team’s situation.

Nico is an engineering manager at Dynatrace, working with teams building the cloud and CI/CD foundations of an internal developer platform. With a background in robotics and devops, he’s passionate about all things automation and creating software that simplifies life. Nico co-organizes agile and leadership meetups and volunteers at robotics competitions for children.

How to use web components with any CSS toolkit

Jacob Rief

One of the hassles when writing any kind of component for the browser is how to style them, so that they fit well into the currently used design system. Currently the only approach I’m aware of, is to create one special theme for every CSS toolkit to support. This approach is time consuming and does not scale well. I therefore developed a technique to reuse the current design and apply it to any web component. This enables frontend developers to focus on the functionality of their components without having to continuously adopt their styles to the never ending stream of upcoming CSS toolkits.

Jacob Rief graduated with a master in physics from the University of Innsbruck. He then worked for many years as a software developer, system architect and consultant for different companies, before returning to his Alma Mater in 2020. There he’s in charge of evolving the main Content Management System of the university. Jacob is also an eager Open Source contributor and maintainer of a few popular third party packages around the Django ecosystem. His main focus is on Django, Python, JavaScript and web development in general.
