Code and learn, my friend!
A post shared by MERIXSTUDIO (@merixstudio) on May 17, 2018 at 7:38am PDT
I mentioned that we're too old (but let's not dwell on the numbers) to care about school, but that doesn't mean we don't care about learning! To put our money where our mouth is, this month three of us shared their extensive knowledge with students. First was Paulina, a Frontend Developer who you might've met if you attended the latest edition of Dev College Combo. Her presentation on CSS Grid must have made a lasting impression since this month she was asked to conduct it again on the event held by the .Net Group from Politechnika Poznańska. Organisers told us that she smashed it, but we would be more surprised if she didn't - after all, with her combination of knowledge and charm, she can do no wrong!

A day after Paulina, it was time for Gosia and Maria to shine! Our excellent UX team took part in the Tipi UX event, about which you've probably heard before if the topic of user experience is something you care about. They talked about online workshops - what are they, how to run them without going mad, and what are the pros and cons of not meeting face to face with clients. With their vast experience, they were able to share many tips and trick on how to be a UX badass - check out their presentation if you want to learn but missed the event!
Who run the world? Dogs!

Guys, you know we love dogs. We couldn't emphasise it more how much we enjoy it every time a pooch is visiting our office. So this month, after quite a dog-less period, we were delighted when Marcin showed up with Hefajstos, a cute dachshund that will make anyone fall in love with him. Just take a look at the second photo - we couldn't even wait in line to pet him! So if you have an office-friendly dog and are looking for a job, send us your CV and include a photo of your furry best friend!
Programming won't stop us from being big kids at heart

The IT industry is filled with creative, sometimes child-like people who love to have fun at work. That's why our offices are usually filled to the brim with Playstations, foosball tables, and anything else you can imagine. So it's obvious that when the Children's Day comes, we needed to celebrate! In the true kinder party style, we've had balloons, streamers, hats, and a shedload of cake. The only thing we really lacked was a clown and a person to painting tigers and butterflies on our faces, but that will need to be fixed next year!
Secret dealings of a software house

If you follow us on Instagram, then you probably saw on our Stories that we were up to something this month. We've created a bookshop in our office, went to a sports shop to look at trampolines, and made some mystery trips that required two cars and three people. What was that all about? Well, sorry buddy, but you will soon find out on our Facebook page, so you better give it a follow! ;) But if you really know us, then you've probably already guessed it - the first person to give the right answer in the comments will win the bragging rights of being a true Merixstudio friend (and maybe a visit to our office?)!
When Geek Shirt Friday highlights the best thing about May

This month was especially nice to Polish people and gave us not one, but two opportunities to enjoy a long weekend. First one was at the beginning of the month, the second one is happening at the moment! And while we really like work and spending time with each other, we also like nice weather and being able to work on our tans far away from computer screens. ;) Wiesiek's addition to his geeky wardrobe truly couldn't be posted at a better time!
And that would be all for this month! Knowing us, the next one will bring even more new, exciting things, especially with the new people that joined our team. Stay tuned!
