We decided last week to try an experiment: come to Dev Club with a project (or some enthusiasm) and spend the 2 hours writing code. If you need help - there's a room full of nerds ready to jump in. If you want to chat - chat. If you don't - don't.
So Dev Club tonight was that. Which is to say: Dev Club tonight was pretty much like every other Dev Club EXCEPT that there's explicit permission from the start to check out of the conversation (if there is one) and code for a while (or the whole time if you want).
I really enjoyed it. Josh hacked on our share github page. I poked around on a tower-defense game I've been thinking about for a little while. Mostly we talked.
Topics of conversation included:
- French and Goblin and Lingua Esoterica
- The Great Leap Forward and tragedy of mixing politics and science
- Chaos Theory, Lorenz Attractors and Emergent Phenomena
- Mac vs Linux
- My dream of functional 2 way data binding in the browser
- Bootcamps and MOOC certificates
- The future of The Clubhouse and Augusta
- Women Who Code: Atlanta
Next Week: Meteor JS!
See you then.
