rovolutionaryon Ask HN: What are the best developer conferences for 2015?

I second this.

Went to JSConf US this year in the beautiful Amelia Islands (right off the coast of Jacksonville, FL) and had an absolute blast!

Extremely well organized, knowledgeable, and a ton of fun!

rovolutionaryon Ask HN: How do I get my team to write better code?

You can set up a weekly code review where you take turns letting each developer present a piece of code they wrote to the team, and then discuss and give feedback about that code.

Also direct them towards resources where they can learn clean code practices. Perhaps institute a monthly "book club" where you select books about good coding practices. I would suggest starting with Clean Code by Robert Martin
