Upcoming events

18 Oct 2025 – Sofia – OpenFest 2025 – People & Culture Craftsmanship in IT

We rarely put our heart and soul into what we do anymore, rarely take pride in that specific piece of code. We copy, we paste, we replace. If asked to point out a piece of our code that we are proud of, we often won’t be able to provide an answer.Why? Because craftsmanship in our industry has been replaced by fast-paced work instead of well thought solutions. We rarely see the big picture and rarely give things more than minimal thought, simply because we have dozens of other tasks to handle. Our cognitive load is constantly increasing, and we need to do something about it.What can be done? You will learn in the talk “Craftsmanship in IT is dying”
