At Back to the Future of Code, we invite developers to explore the foundational building blocks behind modern software. Three speakers will each offer a different perspective on these fundamentals and highlight why they’re still at the heart of great engineering.

Talks:
🎤
Frontend Framework Dependency: Are we skipping the hard part → Ramona Domen (Software Engineer and Impact Leader) Ramona shows how modern frontend frameworks still depend on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. And why mastering these foundations makes you a more deliberate and powerful engineer.
🎤
Why Great Engineers Don’t Just Write Code → Sarah Gruneisen (Engineering Leader & Leadership Coach ) Sarah’s talk highlights how many engineers, especially women, have their strategic and technical strengths overlooked in favor of their “people skills”. She reveals how those very skills drive real technical impact and invites us to broaden our definition of engineering excellence.
🎤
Women in Tech: Bug or Feature? → Maaike Wachters (Software Engineer) Maaike uncovers the hidden history of female tech pioneers whose groundbreaking ideas laid the foundation for the way we code and innovate today.
