The hardcore and boring tech club
You like hardcore software?
You like to write good software to solve non-trivial problems? You work in an industry that is not fancy and hype? In this age of marketing hype cycles, we believe that software making is a creative act of human kind.
You like to find weird, forgotten and brilliant algorithms? You like to get every cycle of performance out of your code? You designed once a CPU core in verilog while watching your favorite show? Writing a compiler, a database engine or an OS kernel is your idea of fun?
If any of the above applies to you, please contact us. We are a community of like-minded people.
Who we are
We like good software
Our Mission
We organize events, discussions and diners around the art of good hard software making in London, Paris and Lyon. We are always looking for new subject ideas, talks, and meeting places.
Our Vision
We are a community of people interested in designing good software to solve non-trivial problems in industrial fields that are not usually considered as fancy or shiny. We believe in intellectual curiosity and software writing as a creative act of human kind. In an age of marketing hype cycles, where creativity and craftiness is confused with plumbing together APIs for LLMs, we decided to organize ourselves.
