Sprint season is open
Read more »: Sprint season is openI used to go to a ton of sprints. Then I got kids. So I made sprints come to me by organizing four OceanSprints. Now that kids are a bit older, it was time to attend a sprint again. What better choice than ThaigerSprint, an offspring of OceanSprint? It was such a relief not being…

Read more »: NixCon 2024 BerlinEver since the day NixCon 2024 dates were published, I was sad I was not going to be able to make it due to some personal stuff taking place that week. But then about 10 days before the event, the personal stuff got moved, and I was free to go! Yay, Berlin! It was so…

PyCon.IT 2022
Read more »: PyCon.IT 2022At the beginning of the month, I made a quick road trip down to Florence for this year’s edition of PyCon Italia.

Nix build on a diet

Founder Summit in Mexico City
Read more »: Founder Summit in Mexico CityI knew I missed conferences. But I did not fully understand how much. Being an introvert (that can act as an extrovert when needed) I rather enjoyed the lack of social interactions in the last year and a half. But I was getting more and more groggy as months went by.

Why we’re building a house in the middle of the ocean
Read more »: Why we’re building a house in the middle of the oceanLet’s get the clickbaiting out of the way first: we’re not technically building a house, we’re renovating an existing villa. To make it more suitable for remote teams. The rest is true, though. It’s on a unique subtropical island in the Atlantic Ocean! OK, but why on Earth would a software company build a vacation…
