Fireside Chat & Spooky Dev Stories 👻
For our October meetup, we're switching things up! Instead of our usual talks, we'll be hosting a casual fireside chat followed by some spooky dev stories from the community.
Ever accidentally deleted a production database? Had an LLM completely misinterpret your instructions and wipe out something important? Or pushed a change that brought down an entire service?
We've all got a few scary development stories! We'll be passing the mic around the room so folks can share their own spooky dev stories, big or small. No pressure to share, you're welcome to just listen!
Schedule
- 6:00–7:00 Networking / grab a bite or drink

- 7:30–8:00 👻 Spooky dev stories — open mic! Share your scariest development moments.
