As a general guideline, the content at our conferences and meetups follows an 80/20 split:
-
80% Craft of Programming
The majority of content focuses on becoming a better programmer. This includes engineering talks, lectures and cool demos. While most of it caters to seniors, we’ll always carve out a reasonable space to welcome juniors to the Handmade ethos. -
20% Economic Well-Being
The remaining content is on improving the programmer’s financial prospects. Topics include marketing yourself as an indie dev, practicing social skills, advocating for your rights as a tech worker, and even safeguarding your own health—because unexpected medical emergencies can devastate anyone’s finances, especially in America.
Future conferences will clearly label which presentations fall into which category of the 80/20 split, so audience members can skip what doesn’t interest them. We also encourage civil yet vigorous disagreements during Q&A sessions.
