Software Craft Study Group: Lightning Talks from Software Should Work
·OnlineOnlineJoin our next session of the Software Craft Study Group to discuss the recorded Lighting Talks from the Software Should Work conference: https://youtu.be/uubcJ9Bvt7M?si=pqqpK8zhrQyQYAVR
The talks cover many topics and we'll try to have the meeting follow a 'lean coffee' style, i.e. we decide on whichever talk we would like to discuss and change when a majority thinks it's time to move on.
Please watch the talk before the meeting. We will present a very short introduction to the topic, but that works better as a reminder than a replacement for studying the topic yourself. The main focus of the meeting is a free discussion where everyone can participate.
What is the Software Craft Study Group about?
We want to take advantage of all the great content on Software Engineering available out there and learn from it to become better at our craft. These meetings give us an excuse to actually study these resources and a chance to ask each other questions for clarification as well as share our own experiences. It is also a great place to meet people.
We meet remotely, so you can join from anywhere! And don't hesitate to join if you are just starting your programming journey, as long as you are interested in the weekly topic this is the right place for you.
If you would like to keep the discussion going outside the meetings, join our Discord channel on the Coders Only server: https://discord.gg/QjxgPbF7Cu.
You can also suggest new topics for upcoming discussions or vote for existing suggestions in the topic-suggestions channel: https://discord.gg/WdgXGNxCUR
We also have a collection of links from previous discussions. If you have a link you shared or mentioned in a previous session, feel free to add it there.

Study Group: The Psychology of Software Teams, Chapter 5
·OnlineOnlineJoin us for the next session of our study group, where we're reading and discussing Dr. Cat Hicks' book The Psychology of Software Teams.
Our topic for this session is Chapter 5: Conflict or Coalitions?.This is an informal book club: we meet to share our thoughts, questions, and half-formed reactions to what we've read. Everyone is welcome, whatever your relationship to the software engineering world and however long you've been in it. The only preparation needed is reading the chapter for that session.
We'll shape the group and its format together, taking inspiration from the book club guide the author put together herself: https://catharsisinsight.com/book-club-guideAbout the series
The current plan is to have one session per chapter and meet roughly every other week, giving everyone plenty of time to prepare. We also have a discord channel to keep the discussion going between the meetings: https://discord.gg/FApmy7zYknSee you there!

Global Day of Coderetreat Zürich 2026
Wingtra AG, Giesshübelstrasse 40, 8045 Zürich, Switzerland, Zürich, ZH, CHJoin us for the Zürich edition of the Global Day of Coderetreat (coderetreat.org) — an annually occurring code
retreat happening worldwide, simultaneously, on the same day.It's a safe space for developers to practice their
craft, away from the pressure of delivering.You must register for a ticket here — RSVPing on Meetup alone does not reserve your spot:
https://infomaniak.events/en-ch/training-courses/global-day-of-coderetreat-zurich-2026/863d8dd3-c07a-42db-b0d0-a91aea8ddc1a/events/398544We'll spend the day coding in pairs, focused on Pair Programming and Test-Driven Development (TDD). Six 45-minute
sessions, each tackling the same problem (Conway's Game of Life) under different constraints, followed by a
15-minute feedback round to share what we learned.No impostor syndrome here — this is a place of practice, not performance. Getting it right matters more than
getting it done, and after each session, you delete your code and start fresh.Bring a laptop with your IDE set up for TDD.
All languages and experience levels welcome.
Organized by Coders Only, the Zürich developer community/association.
