I’ve been wanting to go to a Clojure conference for a long while. Partly to get to know the international Clojure community better, and partly to experience first hand the diversity of talks that these conferences offer. EuroClojure was a natural…
Tl;dr I went to the Serverless Conf last week. I met a lot of great people, heard quite a few inspiring talks, and presented a talk myself. People tend to say that serverless is fast and reduces cost of our infrastructure - but is that actually…
As we work with larger and more complex companies, we become the people to introduce Agile ways of working into an organisation. However, when you’ve worked using Agile for a decade or more, as many of us have, you often assume some knowledge that…
As UX designers we are always aiming to balance the needs of the user with the requirements of the business and with what’s technologically feasible.
Technology! The Badgers love their technology, both new and old – but what’s coming up next?
Everybody was very focused during this 2 day seminar. Veerryy Fooccussedd… And I'm sorry to disappoint, but they were not teaching us to program JavaScript, Closure or Elixir. This was about a different sort of programming altogether.
Free beer and pizza, developers, and maybe React talks? You’ve come to the right place! This month’s React London Meetup was held at Skillsmatter, CodeNode, which a great place for like minded developers to socialise, share their ideas and see the…

Red Badger are ranked 44th in The Sunday Times Hiscox Tech Track 100 for 2016, published today.
Great beer, pizza and speakers can only mean one thing, another React London Meetup! This month we had three awesome speakers and the sweltering hot weather that can only be "enjoyed" once or twice a year in London.
This year for Red Badger’s sixth birthday we stayed at Schloss Beesenstedt, a castle 45 minutes from Leipzig in Germany. We had our Company Day, setting the direction of travel for the next 12 months - and then we had a party. It was a magical and…
120 international speakers, 3000 participants and more than 900 companies - that’s the Fifteen Seconds Festival. For two days, the city of Graz in Austria was celebrating the digital thought leaders of tomorrow. All this with a special dedication to…
Last month all the Badgers plus a whole heap of our friends and partners headed off to Leipzig to spend the weekend in a castle. Red Badger is quite well known for throwing pretty fantastic parties (last year we took everyone to a private island)…
Living in the technical community in Shoreditch, I’m overexposed to web geekery in comparison to those who don’t work in tech but because I don’t code for a living, much of it still passes me by. The questionable grammar – “internet all the things”,…
The benefits of creative activities have been the focus of several studies over the years proving that engaging in creative activities has multiple benefits to our mental health and physical wellbeing. When these activities take place within a…
Well, quite a lot actually. At Red Badger, we’ve ended up with a 48:52 gender split, despite not setting out to build gender equality into the business model.
Another month, another fantastic meetup! This time we were treated to a lesson in combining music with Elm by the exceptional John Watson, and given a whistle stop tour of functional web language design by the phenomenal Bodil Stokke.
When starting our last project, we had long discussions about immutability of our state. Using spread operator or Object.assign in reducers didn’t quite cover our requirements. As crazy as we sometimes are, we decided for various reasons not to use…
It’s National Badger Week. I thought I’d take this time to talk a little bit about our namesake, and the qualities that we share (and some that we don’t).
