Software Engineering Camp 2019
Some weeks ago, I visited the bar camp "Software Engineering Camp 2019" in Erlangen. It was my first time visiting. I'd like to share my experience.
Friday evening
The bar camp started on Friday evening with three lighting talks. Firstly, Markus Harrer talked about psychology in software development.
Here are the slides of my talk "Psychology screws it all up!" at @swe_camp (in German).

The second lightning talk by Sasabe-san was about the mindset behind ShuHaRi. He is a Japanese software engineer, and he explained what the Japanese understand by ShuHaRi. And surprise, surprise, they have a different understanding than Europeans.
The last lightning talk by Markus, founder of OwnCloud, told the story how SUSE creates Enterprise Linux.
Saturday
The Open Space Marketplace started after a great breakfast. Here my notes from some session I visited on Saturday.
Modern Linux CLI Tools
Frank and Patrick did a great session about Linux CLI tools. I learned some new cool tools.
My notes
Patrick prepared some "slides". The presentation runs within a shell, very geeky.
Sketch notes from other participants:

CSS Needs More Software Craftsmanship
My second session was about why CSS code needs more attention. We talked about how we can improve the readability and maintainability of CSS code.
Boring Software Manifesto
I hosted together with Dominik a session about building software with a "boring" technology and why it could be a good idea.

Sunday
Unfortunately, I had to leave the bar camp after breakfast. So I missed the morning session. But I could follow on my timeline on Twitter, that I missed some very good sessions like
ShuHaRi
Meine zweite Session heute zu einer japanischen Sicht auf das Thema Innovation und Weiterentwicklung. #ShuHaRi vorgestellt von Sasabe-san vom #JUSE #Japan. Danke @swe_camp für diese Möglichkeit ☺️ ありがとうございました! pic.twitter.com/JSv1a9vyTv
