Coders Monthly

Where & When?

Coders Monthly was our regular meeting for over nine years at Café Bar Plüsch, an amazing location to chill and chat and hack.

Actually, I’m not quite sure when it began. The first Coders Weekly (as it was going for years) to go up on techup (RIP) was Coders Weekly #6 on June 21st 2012 – having skipped one night (if memory serves me well) that gives the birthday May 10th 2012.

As to the last one, that was on August 5, 2021.

Thanks to all who came around, hope you had fun, check out the membership list below.

What & Why?

Coders Weekly, then Monthly was a regular gathering of programmers in Zurich interested in honing their craft. You know, craft, as in Software Craftsmanship. Because, turns out, programming, done properly, isn’t quite so easy. So over our almost-decade we did…

write real code for, like, actual projects that you may have
write unreal code for, like, coding dojos, katas and stuff
talk about code, for, like, ever
drink just about anything while writing code or talking about it
enjoy some decent tunes as backdrop to all this writing and talking
just have a really good, honest, geeked-out time
