The First Peerox Coding Camp

The com­bin­a­tion of ideas from dif­fer­ent minds and know-how from dif­fer­ent dis­cip­lines pro­duces real innovations.
Based on this con­vic­tion, we at Peer­ox advoc­ate a very col­lab­or­at­ive way of work­ing. We achieve this, for example, through devel­op­ing new solu­tions togeth­er with experts in dif­fer­ent fields. At the same time, we real­ize that due to the tur­bu­lence, intens­ive­ness, and urgency of daily busi­ness, we are often dis­trac­ted. We are dis­trac­ted from the really import­ant things – the fur­ther devel­op­ment of our product and busi­ness model.

There­fore, we decided to organ­ize a “cod­ing camp” in the first full work­ing week of 2020. In col­lab­or­a­tion with col­leagues from IVV, freel­an­cers, pro­ject part­ners, and pilot cus­tom­ers, we wanted to make pro­gress on tech­nic­al issues. Moreover, we wanted to help con­cep­tu­al thoughts on the product and busi­ness mod­el mature. At the same time, poten­tial future Peers had the oppor­tun­ity to get to know us bet­ter. They also had the chance to be intro­duced to our MADDOX and our way of work­ing. Fur­ther­more, the offi­cial inaug­ur­a­tion of our new office in shared com­pany with our sup­port­ers was on the agenda.

To our sur­prise and great joy, on Monday and Thursday we were able to host up to 15 guests in total in our new office . In large and small groups we dis­cussed, worked, ran­ted, rejec­ted, drew, ate pizza, drank beer, and laughed. Our heart­felt thanks go out to all of you who made this won­der­ful cod­ing camp pos­sible – often in your spare time! – through your per­son­al commitment.
