Brainfood Talk: Migration/Integration of a Legacy Data Model – Lessons learned
Many software engineers need to cope with painful affiliations with legacy systems. For the last 2.5 years, we have invested tremendous brainpower, time, and sweat into migrating and integrating an archaeological data model into a modern web platform. Today, we have managed to migrate the majority of the data and are able to use this data on our new web platform. We have learned a lot of lessons, and we think now would be the right time to share them with you.

Brainfood Talk: Unlocking the Power of Collab between UX Designers & Engineers
**Design Meets Development: Unlocking the Power of Collaboration between UX Designers and Software Engineers**
In this talk, we will explore the challenges and opportunities that arise when working with both UX designers and software engineers. The talk will cover strategies for effective collaboration and will provide real-life examples to demonstrate the benefits of collaboration between UX designers and software engineers and the impact on the final product. It will also provide insights on how to overcome common problems, such as misalignment of design and development. This talk aims at anyone interested in understanding how to effectively collaborate between these two roles and create great products that meet user needs and are technically feasible.

Brainfood Talk: Non-blocking IO under the Hood
Reactive programming encourages us to structure our applications in asynchronous data streams, thus in an entirely non-blocking environment, enabling us to achieve higher concurrency and efficient resource usage. This talk is aimed at giving you a comprehensive overview of the low-level approaches towards creating such a non-blocking environment.

Brainfood Talk: Modern Angular
By releasing Angular 14 earlier this year, two long-awaited features have been introduced to the JavaScript framework - Typed Forms and Standalone Components. This talk will examine how those features can help you improve type safety and code readability. Additionally, you will receive an overview of NgRx - a powerful state management library - and how it can be elegantly integrated with your components while reducing coupling and clearly defining responsibilities throughout your application.

Brainfood Talk: Distributed Systems Don’t Need to be Complicated
Today’s architectural challenges, especially in IoT scenarios, are often tackled using distributed systems with microservices as significant building blocks. While microservices offer great benefits, they tend to increase the overall complexity of a system. In this talk, we will show how actor frameworks can significantly mitigate those problems, using a long-forgotten paradigm from the early days of computer science.

Brainfood Talk: No Estimates? A Deep Dive into Business Agility
Are you estimating your software projects? Some say don’t. But why? Let’s revisit the no-estimates movement together and figure out where it does make sense to estimate and when it’s just a waste of time. On our way, we’ll dig deep into real-world examples of organizational structures and their estimates, as well as lean and agile software development.
