Crafters MTL - Nov 2025 Slack: https://slack.softwarecrafters.org/ (channel #loc\_montréal) Our wonderful Host: Osedea 🌟 \-- 18:00 - Greetings 🍕 Meet people, network, eat, and chill before the event begins. It's a fantastic opportunity to get to know each other. 18:50 - Introduction 💁 We regroup. Organizers briefly introduce the newcomers, and we thank the host. 19:00 - Quick Shares ⚡ Short presentations from the community. You can stand up and propose something if you want. Typical interventions could be: I want to say hi (3 seconds) I discovered this new tool, here's the website, you should check it out (1 minute) I've prepared a little presentation with a few slides (max. 10min) 19:30 - Round-table discussions 💬 Anyone can propose one or many subjects. We all vote on these topics and pick the ones with the most votes. Then we'll split into a few groups to discuss these. You're free to stand up and change groups during the evening if you want to. Examples of past topics: What is the ideal work setup for devs at work? (e.g., local, cloud-based, hybrid, etc) AI code editors, workflows + pros and cons What are the soft skills a good developer should have? Clean architecture VS feature-based architecture How do you choose a backend technology? How to handle the evolution of anemic model to DDD model? Discussing how to prepare for and perform well on technical interviews when job hunting. Monorepos: yay or nay? Pros, cons, tooling, and workflow 20:30 - Recap & closing We regroup again. One person in each group does a short recap of what was discussed, so everyone gets a TL;DR of the different discussions. Then we say goodbye and go home, full of joy and motivation, until the next meetup. See you there! 😃 https://guild.host/events/crafters-mtl-nov-2025-gda61s
