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.

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?

Archiving 2024, Embracing 2025

The New Year is a global reset. Like getting a new computer and deciding what applications are worth reinstalling and picking new applications to try for the first time. Archiving the work you want to keep and letting go of files that no longer benefit you when you reformat your hard drive.

In this chat we will reflect on 2024 and what we are looking forward to in 2025. Was 2024 a good year for you? Why or why not? What are your plans for 2025? Any goals or resolutions? The usual New Year's questions.
