38c3 retrospective

 The entry of the conference hall where the 38c3 took place in Hamburg at night. The entry has a purple lid up sign that says 38c3. At the corner of the building you see 3 white glowing letters: CCC

Yes, it’s true. Another year passed. And with it another CCC. Again with me sitting at home, enjoying a nice hot drink and watching the streams. Last years talks were great, but somehow this year’s even topped it.

If you need some nice talks to watch in this cold and gray time of year, here is the list of talks that I can recommend:

Polyglot Developer

I am a freelance polyglot developer and love HTML5, testing, TypeScript, Ruby and Elixir. In the last 20 years I have been in lots of different roles, from Java to Elixir, from backend developer at a 3 people team in an early phase startup to the CTO of a web agency. Some of my work can be seen on my projects page.
