Mateusz Papiernik

CTO @ Makimo. Software engineer by heart, who learns and adapts quickly and like making impossible things possible. Technical writer for DigitalOcean and technical editor for Helion. After work, a wine writer and an amateur pianist.

Once upon a time, there was a tech conference and a grand plan to have it properly recorded and published for others to enjoy. And then it all went haywire.

Every year in Makimo, we hold a company tech conference called CodeBetter. It’s an open space for everyone to share their experiences and ideas in front of an audience. It’s also a great way to get together and discuss what we’ve all achieved over the past year — contrary to the original name, all topics and areas are welcome, not just programming-related.

We did our first impromptu recordings of all the talks in 2021, and this year I thought: hey, let’s do it Better™ this time. As you can imagine from the title and the opening paragraph, it didn’t go according to plan. Let’s salvage some worthwhile takeaways from this, shall we?
