The Dead Coder Society has been undergoing some serious changes. A majority of the original members have graduated from Stockton. We’re left with the question, “What next?”<\/p>\n

We’re still meeting and our online discussion is more active than ever before. We’re meeting outside of Stockton. It takes more work to organize a meeting outside of Stockton. We’re not just staying after class anymore; we’re planning travel and figuring out dates that work with work schedules and the real world. We’re changing.<\/p>\n

When we do meet, the discussions are as good as they’ve ever been, as most times they’re even better. We’ve seen new members raise the bar and old members step forward with new presentation material. The hunger is still there.<\/p>\n

Presentations have taken on a new form. We’ve moved from a central topic to an extended lightning talk<\/a>\u00a0cycle. Each member presents one topic in a summarized way. Anyone can interrupt the discussion, and there’s no time limit. Talks tend to last 20 minutes, but nearly every member is able to contribute. This is largely thanks due to the reduced frequency of our meetings. I’ve noticed that other members are taking in the presentations and are really applying the technology in a practical way.<\/p>\n

There’s still a lot of work that can be done to advance the group and overall goal of promoting discussion and ideas. Cheers to the Dead Coder Society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
