It's been a while since I've worked on a full time development project. But I love coding.. so how do I stay in touch with my inner developer? By participating in coding competitions!
These types of events typically challenge you by solving a difficult problem or delivering a solution in the least amount of time - or even in the least amount of characters of code.
In this fast-paced talk, I'll introduce you into the world of coding competitions. I'll talk about challenge types, approaches, strategy, the community aspect and I'll share a couple of examples from competitions and challenges I participated in. Join me and learn about the Joy of Coding Competitions!

There always comes a point where software becomes so complex and old that it becomes unmaintainable. Updating the technical stack without breaking everything becomes impossible, implementing new features takes longer, and the technical debt is so overwhelming that refactoring becomes exorbitant.
What if we told you that all of this is more of a practice problem than a software aging problem?
Come and discover through hands-on experience in this 100% live coding session how Hexagonal Architecture can tackle software complexity, making it possible for you to be adaptable and sustainable while helping you manage your technical debt more effectively.")
