🚀 So, apparently, the secret to predicting the future is an equation and a paper number. 📄 Meanwhile, #arXiv is like, "Forget time travel, we just need a #DevOps engineer!" 🤖🔧 Because clearly, the only thing more unpredictable than the future is a job in #open #science. 🌟

The topic for the 2025-04-15 Weekly Dev Chat is career twists and turns. Inspired by someone I know debating if they should take a position at a new company or stay with their current employer. That got me thinking about my own career path, and how 20-year-old me would never have guessed I would end up starting my own consulting business. 20-year-old me assumed I would be working in the game's industry.

Did your career path turn out how you imagined it when you were younger? For people just starting, where do you see yourself in five to ten years?

Everyone and anyone are welcome to join as long as you are kind, supportive, and respectful of others. Details on how to join can be found at our website:

PS: I miss Quake Deathmatches on the high school network. It's too bad that Steam is blocked at work and the security software prevents connecting personal computers to the rj45 sockets.

It's the right year for the Bell Riots, but I thought they were supposed to start in LA.
