Ensemble Hacking on PicoCTF

Join the Weekly Dev Chat on Jan 28th, 2025 for some ensemble hacking on the PicoCTF platform. The goal is to solve one problem, but if things go well, maybe we can solve a couple. Like previous ensemble sessions, I will share my screen and get suggestions from you, the ensemble, on how to solve the problem.

PicoCTF: https://picoctf.org/

Everyone and anyone are welcome to join as long as you are kind, supportive, and respectful of others. Learn how to join the chat, and other useful information, here.

P.S. - I love the retro feel of the AI generated image for today's chat.

Office Environments

Good morning Dev Edmonton! I'm pleased to host today's meeting. Today #meetup-weekly-dev-chat will be talking about office environments.

What's your current workplace situation? What's been your best experience? Worst?

What would you prefer:

  • open floor? cube farm? private office?

  • remote/hybrid/onsite?

  • pack a lunch/cafeteria/nearby restaurants?

  • background music? headphones?

  • desktop or laptop?

  • one/two/n screens?

Is your home computer more powerful than what the company provides?

Where is office life heading?

Everyone and anyone is welcome to join as long as you are kind, supportive, and respectful of others. Zoom link will be posted shortly before 12pm MDT.

Bold Predictions for 2025

In this chat we will review some 2024 developer’s surveys and then make our own bold developer and technology predictions for 2025. What do you think will happen in 2025? How much of an impact will AI have this year? Will a big tech company fail this year and/or will a new big tech company raise up? What new hardware will come out this year? Will a new job title be created this year, such as how prompt engineer became a job title last year?

What is your bold prediction?
