Recently I wrote a blogpost on Yoast.com titled “Why every developer should read Plato“: At WordCamp Milano, I gave a talk with the enticing title Why every developer should read Plato.

In doing so, I will also introduce a few philosophical concepts that might help you level up your skills as a developer.

It convinced us to switch from a connected design style to a more modular one.
