Agenda for Hardware focused 138th DevClub.lv

• Normunds Stepāns from STROPS Technologies will give a talk about situations in hardware manufacturing when everything goes wrong.
  It’s no secret that the saying “software is easy, but hardware is hard” is very close to reality. But why is that? If it’s so challenging, why would anyone choose to engage with hardware, and how can the process be made easier?
  You will learn:
  – What managers, companies, and customers expect when ordering programming services
  – What it truly means to be “in charge”
  – The key differences between making mistakes in software and hardware
  (Language – Latvian)
  
  Normunds Stepāns, CEO of STROPS Technologies, founded the company in 2014 without prior experience in product development but with a strong determination to achieve something meaningful. His goal was to contribute to making Latvia a manufacturing country, exporting its technologies and improving its economic prosperity.
