Masterclasses
Skill Up with Smarter Learning
Learn what actually happens in the brain when it learns, why some colleagues "get it" faster, and how to teach so knowledge sticks.
Great Programming Habits
Still following “best practice” but moving slower than ever?
This workshop questions the dogma. You’ll explore modern programming habits that rethink design, architecture and delivery from a human point of view. Learn when to move fast, when to slow down and how to work with legacy and ops without losing your mind.
2 Days: Thinking Together with Domain-Driven Design (DDD)
Learn to use DDD as a collaboration practice: build shared understanding of complex domains and turn it into clear boundaries, priorities and architecture decisions.
Group Decision Making: How Groups Can Overcome The Influences Of Group Member Biases and Social Dynamics
In this science-based workshop, Linda blends research and real team stories to help you spot bias, avoid groupthink and make smarter decisions. You’ll leave with simple tools you can use on Monday, alone or with your team.
2 Days: Hack Yourself First
In this hands-on, 2-day workshop you attack a real vulnerable web app. XSS, SQL injection, CSRF, session hijacking and more. You'll then use the understanding to build stronger defenses.
Communicate Like a CTO
Learn to turn technical work into clear business value. Use simple frameworks to cut jargon, structure your message and speak to time, cost and risk so your ideas land and decisions move.
2 Days: EventStorming Master Class
Learn how to map complex domains, discover clearer system boundaries and turn shared understanding into better software design using hands-on EventStorming.
2 Days: Advanced Software Architecture with Residuality
Learn how to design resilient software for complex domains. Gain practical techniques to reduce risk, improve decision-making and tackle uncertainty with tools like stressor analysis, adjacency matrices and real-world architecture labs.
2 Days: Evolutionary Architecture for Distributed Systems
Learn how to modernize your architecture with a practical approach to service boundaries, architecture decisions and incremental migration.
Resilient Distributed Systems
Learn concrete, technology-agnostic practices for keeping distributed systems up — timeouts, retries, circuit breakers, bulkheads and back pressure — whatever your architecture.
Agentic Engineering - The New Software Development Lifecycle
Learn a repeatable Plan-Implement-Validate workflow for AI coding agents, master context engineering and shape codebases that agents can work in reliably.
Learning How to Learn in an Age of AI
Learn why most new skills don't stick, which techniques cognitive science says actually work, and how to use AI to learn faster without outsourcing your thinking.
2 Days: Event Modeling & AI-Native Software Design
Learn to turn requirements into a shared model, slice systems into independent boundaries, and generate working code from that model with AI — hands-on, both days.
Learn from legends
Learn from the people shaping our industry—the pioneers, the authors, the ones creating the tools we use every day.
