@bugdan.dev
I'm (mainly) a Frontend Web Engineer, former Tech Writer. I like to call myself a User Advocate, looking to encourage genuine human interactions in an increasingly generated world. In other words, an in person community builder, currently with ZurichJS
I'm so happy to return to Skopje, this time on stage, trying to share a balanced view on AI and spark conversations in one of the most welcoming communities I've had the pleasure in meeting♥️
WhatTheStack@wts.rocks · yesterdayMeet @bugdan.dev, a Zurich-based web engineer and ZurichJS community organizer. At #WhatTheStack, he’ll present “How to Not Use AI”—an honest look at decision fatigue, skill loss, burnout, and how to use AI without losing our problem-solving abilities. 🎟️ wts.sh
Building apps with lots of data? There’s a good chance you’ve used @ag-grid.bsky.social. What we find genuinely cool is that they started as an open-source project and have stayed true to that developer-first mindset. Thanks for supporting ZurichJS Conf as a Platinum Sponsor! 💛

So much effort goes into keeping price down, especially considering Swiss prices for catering and co. But we're non profit, so we have no salaries to pay🙃 Best thing that can happen is to have you join and have a great time🫶
ZurichJS@zurichjs.com · 6d agoWe’d love to invite everyone. 💛 But community conferences still have bills to pay, and we’re doing our best to keep tickets as affordable as possible. Standard pricing ends in a few days. Grab your ticket before Late Bird pricing starts: conf.zurichjs.com
Time flies! Less than 2 months now before @zurichjs.com where I'll be trying to convince a bunch of JS devs that CSS is pretty awesome 😅 Lots of other amazing speakers as well, and there are still tickets available and only 3 days left until the price goes up! conf.zurichjs.com#tickets
This week’s meetup was such good vibes! Last one before conference week events in Sept!
Ready for another speaker? Welcome @danieljcafonso.bsky.social! Senior Developer Advocate at @pagerduty.bsky.social, @solidjs.com DX team member, @egghead.io instructor, React Query author and @jnationconf.bsky.social organiser. One of the kindest and most approachable people you’ll meet in tech.

Last month at JSNation, ZurichJS received the Global Community of the Year award for highest impact at the OSS Awards, the next person I want to speak about is Colin, because some people become part of a community long before there is any official title for what they are doing.
@acemarke.dev is coming to Zurich 💙 Redux maintainer, React educator, and one of the most thoughtful voices in our community. Whether it's React internals, architecture, performance, or AI-powered debugging, Mark loves a great question. Bring yours to ZurichJS Conf!
Huge gratitude to @nadja-hesselbjerg.bsky.social for making @zurichjs.com into what it is today
Faris Aziz@farisaziz.com · last mo.This last month at JSNation, ZurichJS received the Global Community of the Year award for highest impact at the OSS Awards, and the next person I want to speak about is Nadja, because if Bogdan helped give ZurichJS its soul, Nadja gave us something just as important: sanity.
This month at JSNation, ZurichJS received the Global Community of the Year award for highest impact at the OSS Awards, and while that recognition still feels surreal, an award can only capture the outcome, not the unpaid care, time, and heart behind it.
I met @atila.io a year ago at I/O Connect and then again at WTS. He's such a good energy bundle ♥️ can't wait for y'all to meet at @zurichjs.com conf💛
ZurichJS@zurichjs.com · last mo.Looking forward to having @atila.io at ZurichJS Conf! Team lead of SolidStart, core contributor to @solidjs.com, OSS advocate💛, and Fullstack Engineer at Databricks. Atila is always looking beyond the code, exploring how we learn, collaborate, and build better experiences for developers and users.
The best conferences are the ones you would happily pay for out of your own pocket. I’ve followed @farisaziz.com work and collaborated with him long enough to know that @zurichjs.com will be worth every penny. So I just got my ticket. Any internet friends joining us on September 11?
Last week, @zurichjs.com won the highest impact community globally award at the OSS Awards during @jsnation.gitnation.org. What was so cool is that @tolin.ski was there to share the moment and will be speaking at our conference this year. 583 days ago was our first meetup. Less than two years.
Tired: This is the hottest June of the last decade 🥵 Inspired: This is the coolest June of the next decade 😎
