Monday, 18th June at CodeNode, London

This meetup was organised by LRUG: London Ruby User Group in June 2018

Overview

How to Grow a Small Development Team

In this talk I'll discuss:

  • How working at a given company fits into a developer's career
  • Finding candidates
  • Selection
  • On-boarding
  • Retention
  • What to do when people leave your team

Much of how we hire is specific to our business and our goals, but there will hopefully be two or three techniques, practices, or principles that you can apply to your hiring process.

Breaking into Computers Over the Internet

If the demo gods are on my side, I’ll break in to a vulnerable system or two to show you how easy it is for people to exploit known vulnerabilities in software you, as a software developer, may be responsible for keeping up to date. Then finally I'll cover some ways to protect the software you write from those types of attacks.



David Somers

David is head of engineering at Pixie Labs, a software development agency. When he's not cutting code and looking after his engineering team, he builds the occasional website or Twitter bot, runs a podcast called Octal FM, and hosts irregular LAN parties with friends.
