In this fun and insightful session, Sander and Eduard will take you on a light-hearted but educational journey through the first two decades of a software developer's career. From your first "hello world" to becoming the seasoned architect of your team, this talk highlights the ups, downs, and learning curves developers experience along the way.

Through relatable stories and a few common (and cringeworthy) mistakes, Eduard and Sander will show how developers grow from bumbling beginners into skilled professionals who can finally say, “I’ve been there, done that… and learned from it!” With a focus on design decisions, the session offers practical insights into avoiding common pitfalls while providing a fresh perspective on the evolving mindset of a developer.

Expect a fun session with "aha!" moments and takeaways that will encourage you to rethink how you approach your code and design choices. Whether you're just starting out or have been coding for years, we hope you’ll leave this session thinking more critically about the decisions you make every day in your software development journey.
