Niteo IRL#13 – Lanzarote
Read more »: Niteo IRL#13 – LanzaroteFor the 13th IRL edition, we gathered at our Niteo house in Lanzarote. Nejc had already hosted a few Ocean sprints at the house, so everything ran seamlessly, like a finely-tuned machine. We went through the usual agenda – reviewing the state of the company and projects, planning for the upcoming year, and optimizing internal…

Read more »: Niteo Summer IRL meetup in LjubljanaOur summer In-Real-Life meetup was held in Ljubljana, in the heart of Slovenia. The first things you see as you approach it are castles, numerous parks, and dragons. 🙂 The dragon is the symbol of the city.

Niteo IRL#11 – Manila
Read more »: Niteo IRL#11 – ManilaMabuhay! It’s winter 2023 and time for our in-real-life meetup. It’s our 11th IRL, but this will be my first time joining one. Because of the COVID lockdowns and the war in Ukraine, I was only able to attend these meetups virtually. We do these IRLs not only for work but also to bond and…

Niteo IRL#10
Read more »: Niteo IRL#10Man… I can’t believe it has been two and a half years since I was abroad. The last time was actually IRL#8 in Bangkok, Thailand.

Niteo IRL#FML

Omicron surged in late 2021, and we had to cancel the meetup. That’s where the name of this virtual one comes. So it was back…

Founder Summit in Mexico City

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. Nothing major, but I…

Attending MicroConf Europe ’21 in Dubrovnik
Read more »: Attending MicroConf Europe ’21 in DubrovnikMicroConf Europe in 2019 was the second to last conference I attended before COVID-19 struck. This year MicroConf returned to Dubrovnik. And it’s an absolutely amazing location, plus the weather was great all three days. The conference was not large in 2019 but it was even smaller now – and that’s a good thing. I…

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…

Niteo IRL#9
Read more »: Niteo IRL#9After a year and a half, Niteo finally organized our bi-annual In-Real-Life meetup. The third time is the charm! Unfortunately, we only managed to do it for half of the team. People in and around Slovenia, all vaccinated, met up in Ljubljana in a great space rented from the Computer museum. The other half of…
