Your Worst Software Development Habit

Join us Feb 25th, 2025 as we discuss our worst software development habits. What is one software development best practice you know you should do but don’t? A best practice you know you need to improve? Spoiler alert, but for me it’s logging. I always forget to add logging to my code and then struggle when a production error occurs, but I can’t debug it in my development environment.

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.

Editors, IDEs, etc.

I'm curious about how other people get their work done, so in today's #meetup-weekly-dev-chat we'll be talking about editors, IDEs, and plugins.

What's your setup? Your favourite plugin? On a fresh machine what's the first thing you install? Does your company allow you to choose your editing tools? Do you use Copilot or some other AI assist? Coding standards? Linting? What do you love, what do you hate?

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.

Accessing Data

The topic for the today's Weekly Dev Chat (Feb 11) is accessing data. How do you access the data your application needs, such as an ORM, raw SQL, 3rd party APIs, something else? Are you responsible for the security of the data, or is that someone else in your organization? How do you make sure data is shown to the correct users and not leaked? 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 Mountain Time.
