    Cancelling WeCamp 2020

    We’ve had to cancel WeCamp this year due to COVID-19, but we’re replacing it with something else

  • Take care of non-technical skills

    We’re all very focussed on improving the technical knowledge and skills of our developers, but should we not focus more on the non-technical skills?

  • Why I will pay more attention to game nights

    I need to admit a mistake. I made a mistake in judgement when selecting which games to bring to the WeCamp Game Night.

So in the morning, two people started on the research, while two other team members started on setting…

  • WeCamp Day 1

  • Last month we announced WeCamp, an event where developers can improve their skills not just by listening to people, but also by actually doing things.
