I spent a few days this week at the first ever StaffPlus London, a conference for senior individual contributors being run alongside the LeadDev London event. The conference was compèred by Tanya Reilly, author of The Staff Engineer’s Path.

Unlinke other conferences I’ve been to, there was only one track which made choosing what sessions to see quite easy. The talks were of varying lengths, and there were a lot of them, which made sketchnoting them quite a task.
