In terms of preparation, Voxxed Days Bucharest was one of the most complex technical events I’ve ever tackled.
The challenge wasn’t just delivering a speech with slides; it involved a two-hour live coding session. During this session, I programmed a functional MVP in real time and also provided support to the participants who were coding alongside me. In the background, while writing code, I explained the underlying theoretical concepts, which necessitated the use of slides.
Furthermore, I had to prepare to manage an entire room simultaneously, aiming not only to ensure that attendees finished with a working application but also to help them understand what they were doing.
This undertaking required extensive preparation: I created a step-by-step wiki for attendees to follow if they fell behind, and a Git repository to enable them to jump straight to the next steps if necessary.
I rehearsed everything the participants might do in those two hours, ensuring everything functioned on both Windows and Mac OS. A significant amount of effort was required behind the scenes, so I repurposed many components of this project from the Continual Bot.
I am grateful for this opportunity provided by Andra Ghibutiu and Alex Proca and am looking forward to further collaborations with Voxxed Days and the Incremental Community!
