Halfway through each month, our newsletter for developers: The Dev Times, brings three reads that our own developers found interesting on the web, and two Transloadit updates that may interest you.

The Grand Transloadit 2022 Meetup

We can hardly believe it, but five whole years have already gone by since our previous meetup. We last got together in Berlin in the summer of 2017 for a few days of fun, hanging out and hacking together. The experience made it evident to all involved how important it is – especially for a fully remote company like Transloadit – to create opportunities to meet each other in person. Something truly changes when Slack avatars suddenly turn into real people. In September 2022, we were finally able to see each other again, and we share what we got up to in this post!
