There are those crazy ones, misfits, rebels and troublemakers in the PHP ecosystem that have successful evaded the status quo.

Not wordpress.

Not symfony.

Not laravel.

Not drupal.^{hey, remember Drupal?}

I’m talking of course about SilverStripe.

Finally, this is the first time after Covid that you’ll be able to see me with legs and feet and not just behind a desk.

P.S. There are still tickets available, and if you are too late to travel, you can grab a digital one.

Grab a ticket!

What am I looking forward to?

First of all: Innovatif, the organizers were my first full time employers where I earned my stripes^hah! as software engineer. Back when I was still a snotty teenager I absorbed knowledge like a sponge.

I shaped my career in the years I spent at Innovatif with the priceless help and mentoring from their co-founders and leaders, many of whom are still working there this year. I’m looking forward to reconnecting with them again.

Here are some of the talks that piqued my interest:

• AI-Powered Translations in Silverstripe: Automate, Preview, Publish

• Advertising as surveillance

• xdebug

• Automatic visual regression tests

• From passion to project: Turning personal interests into a successful venture

Creating Value: Strategies for High-Earning, Happy Engineering Teams

This is my talk, you’ll find me on Friday 10:45 after the coffee break. I’ll be presenting strategies on what makes great teams and how to overcome the hourly billing trap in agencies. Vague agenda for the 30min+QA talk:

• Assumption traps & reality check about value

• Habits of high performing teams

• Strategies and next steps

See you there!
