@StevenBoutcher is sharing thoughts on mentorship with "1 Step Behind You" at @devfestwi. The journey from working just to make ends meet to a fulfilling career is often made possible with the mentorship of others. Let's be the mentors for others!
Jim Remsik is at #DevFestWI "Flagrant"-ly showing us how almost everything moves in cycles in his talk, "Nothing New Under the Sun". History can be a great resource in learning about the present.
Meeting so many new people and learning new things at @devfestwi! Was still nervous to come, but I'm so glad I'm continuing to step outside my comfort zone for these experiences! #womenwhocode#networking@gdgmadison
ALT Madison Gas and Electric (MGE) serves 161,000 electric customers in the Madison area and 173,000 natural gas customers in south-central and western Wisconsin.

ALT Founded in 2005, Filament Games is a full-service digital studio that specializes in learning game development on a for-hire basis. We’ve completed over 400 projects since our founding and have worked with some of the biggest names in education – folks like Amazon, Scholastic, Smithsonian, Oculus, National Geographic, PBS, Television Ontario (TVO), McGraw-Hill, and even the US Department of Education.
ALT Founded in 1990 by brothers Brian and Steve Raffel, Raven Software has gone from a five-person company with a dream of creating a role-playing game for the Amiga, to the developer of numerous award-winning games and best-selling titles, including Hexen, Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, and most recently being a major contributor to the Call of Duty® franchise.
At Raven, we’ve built our company on expectations. An expectation to always design the games that define industry standards for graphics and playability. An expectation that award-winning games are the norm. But more than anything, a clear understanding of our market’s expectations: that being, for us to consistently produce the games that people want to play. In other words, exactly everything we’ve been doing since 1990.
The phone's for you; it's DevFest WI!

I think that is probably common. While I know failure is good, I admit I am always disappointed in the moment. It is only after a bit of time has passed that I look for the growth opportunities.
