We had such a great time at the last In Real-Life Watch Party that we're hosting another one!
Join us on November 27th, 2025 at 7:00pm for our next IRL gathering. This is a great opportunity to connect with fellow developers in person.

Everyone and anyone are welcome to join as long as you are kind, supportive, and respectful of others.
This is a big topic! We can discuss change at the corporate/organizational level, or we can zoom in on controlling change in software development. I’ll leave it open for the group to steer the conversation. Controversial opinions welcome.
Anyone have horror stories? Boss drops a 500-page manual on your desk Friday afternoon and says “figure this new tool out by Monday”? You show up one morning and the entire phone system/email client/ERP has been replaced overnight with zero warning?
What about managing requirements? You work for weeks on a feature and it's suddenly dropped? Or a new requirement causes a major rewrite? Or maybe the real issue about managing expectations.
Regarding version-control, we can also dig into trunk-based vs feature-branch workflows vs Git Flow, and when each actually makes sense.
Everyone and anyone are welcome to join as long as you are kind, supportive, and respectful of others. Zoom link will be posted at 12pm MDT.
The topic for the November 11th, 2025 chat is remembering past developers whose shoulders we stand on. Who is your favorite software developer and why? Is there a developer that inspired you or whose past contributions you use regularly?
Everyone and anyone are welcome to join as long as you are kind, supportive, and respectful of others. You can find more information and register here:
