This year’s Devoxx was my first remote conference. I got my ticket back in December when that was the only option. A lot of people from Evojam went to Kraków instead. For me, FOMO kicked in at the moment they posted the first pictures. Here I was, sitting in front of my laptop all day, 300 km away from all the excitement.

To make the most of my situation, I set out to pay undivided attention to any talk I would go to. Back in uni, the best way for me to do that was to make a lot of notes. And so I did.

This way, I ended up attending the most tech talks I have ever listened to over three consecutive days. Looking back, there are three recurring themes that I found most appealing.

In this text, I want to discuss three talks on the topic of software architecture.
