With great April comes great amount of fun - summary of the month

Dev College Combo 2

Last Saturday can be described with one emoji - 💯! At #DevCollegeCombo we've met so many great people passionate about web development, we couldn't be happier! One thing is certain - we need to start organising the next edition! ;) For (much) more photos, check out our Facebook profile . . . #DevCollege #event #ITevent #besttime #webdevelopment #webdevelopmentevent #programming #merixstudio #workshops #presentation #conference #networking #happy #coder #poznan #poznanevent #ItIndustry #webdeveloper #webdev #design #programming #programmer #developer #programmerslife #coding #python #development

After the previous Dev College Combo, our whole-day event with workshops and presentions dedicated to everything related to software development, we knew that we needed to make the second edition. Luckily our enthusiasm was shared by attendees, who came back to our office to learn from our experts. There were some people we've already had a pleasure to meet (you don't even know how happy we are to see people coming back to our events!), as well as some new web development enthusiasts. Some of you even travelled from different parts of Poland to attend Dev College Combo! This time we talked about, for instance, CSS Grid, React, Django, or information architecture. Big thanks to everyone attending and see you next time - until then, here's the video summary of the event!

Ain't no party like Merixstudio party

Still thinking about the weekend? We know we are! After all, on Friday we went out to @pikapikatapasbaryvino where we ate food, drank wine, and partied to our hearts' content! You will find more photos on our Facebook page! . . . #party #officeparty #aboutlastweekend #friday #pikapika #poznan #afterhours #coworkers #colleagues #fun #happy #tapas #spanishparty #webdeveloper #webdev #webdesign #design #programming #programmer #developer #webdesigner #designer #websitedesign #programmerslife #coding #reactjs #development

Guys, I'm not going to lie - you know that Merixstudio likes and knows how to party. We're very particular about not only being coworkers but also being a group of friends who genuinely like each other, so going out together is very important to us. It's not about rigid or forced team-building exercises, but simply having some fun together and unwinding after work! With that being said, I'm happy to announce that this months party was yet again a success! We visited Pika Pika, where we ate plenty of Spanish tapas that satisfied the taste buds of even the fussiest of eaters (and believe me when I say that we have a few of those!). Once again, we have a video (as well as a shedload of photos) to prove it!

How to play hookey when you're a grown-up

@kamgrz is known in our office for many things, one of which is that dude really likes opening windows in the open space. Now, when the weather is finally nice, he took his love of fresh air a bit further and organised a Daily Scrum in the playground next to our headquarter. There's one question left - did they used the swing set when they were done? . . . #dailyscrum #scrum #meeting #playground #fun #happyoffice #agile #agilepm #agileprojectmanagement #scrummaster #webdev #agileworking #agiledevelopment #agilemethodology #webdeveloper #webdevelopment #webdesign #webdesigner #webdesigning #webstagram #websitedesign #developer #developerslife #programming #programmer #programmers #projectmanagement

It's finally a fully fledged Spring, so staying inside becomes more and more difficult. Just like rebellious pupils, sometimes we want to ditch everything, skip class, and enjoy the welcoming weather. However, unlike those pesky teenagers, we are adults who not only have an obligation but also like what they do and don't feel the need to skive off. With the solution came ever so resourceful Kamil, who decided to hold the Daily Scrum on the playground that's next to our office. Did they also play on the swingset? Well, it's not shown in the photos, but who knows...

Jokes, events, and Django development

Time for #throwbackthursday! @kusiciel, who you probably already know, as a true Leader of the Backend team woke up rather early on Saturday and attended #KarieraIT, where he talked about #Django framework. Let us know if you saw his presentation! if you did and want to join his team, check out our career page ➡️ #linkinbio⬅️ . . . #itcommunity #presentation #event #ITevent #webdevelopment #coder #webdeveloper #webdev #webdesign #website #design #programming #programmer #developer #webdesigner #designer #websitedesign #programmerslife💻 #programmerslife #coding #code #python #reactjs #development

Once again, I'm going to talk about something (or rather someone) you already know. Miłosz, Leader of our Backend Team, is known to everyone who attends web development related events. Being not only a skilled Developer but also a very easygoing person, Miłosz certainly knows how to prepare a good presentation that will entertain and teach. This month he talked about Python Development during Kariera IT event and, from what I've heard, he smashed it. Good job, buddy!

The anniversary of a good decision

What the...😲 It feels like yesterday when we moved from Wilda to our new office, but it's been a whole year!⏳ Now having a lot of space, great conference rooms, and a fun chill room is our everyday life, which we celebrated today with cakes, cookies, and not thinking about calories🍰🎂🍪🎊 . . #celebration #anniversary #cake #fun #happyoffice #softwarehouse #levelup #party #officeparty #webdeveloper #webdev #website #programming #programmer #developer #webdesigner #designer #websitedesign #programmerslife💻 #programmerslife #coding #development #softwarehouse #poznan #poland #merixstudio #ITindustry

I've mentioned it quite often that I loved our old office. Maybe it didn't have a Google'esque vibe, but it definitely had a character. What it didn't have, however, was enough space for the continually growing company, so we needed to change the headquarter. This month marked a year after we moved to Małachowskiego and I couldn't even imagine working in a different place!We certainly made it our own with pictures, murals, or decals on glass walls, so it feels very homely and welcoming. To celebrate this change, we decided to enjoy the additional break and had a small party with cake. And let me tell you - since we finally have so much space, gathering everyone at the same time is no longer an issue! :)
