9/29/21: Backend Meetup PRG

Jiri Necas Sep 2, 2021

Productboard Backend Meetups are back! And they will be better than ever! During the pandemic, we moved into new offices, which have already been named Best Startup Office of the Year. We’re excited to show you our new event space (in person) as we host our first Backend meetup of 2021! 🚀

Please get your tickets here: https://bit.ly/38yNX6v

We’ve put together an awesome program for you:

🔹 Talk 1: Entropy and the life of a software engineer
Speaker: Michal Těhník, Staff Engineer at Productboard
Description: Entropy is an inevitable part of the universe, so why do you think you can reduce it or completely remove it in your software project? It’s hidden everywhere, and you need to shift your thinking in order to become a happier software engineer.

🔹 Talk 2: Property-based testing in practice
Speaker: Marek Třešňák – Backend Developer at Mews
Description: Property-based testing is one of the lesser-known approaches to writing automated tests. But in many scenarios, it can be used to create a more resilient test suite with lower effort. This talk will focus on explaining the basic principles of PBT and provide some tips on how to use it in practice.
