ALT Donut.js • Tuesday, October 29th, 6pm at 30 NW 10th Ave, Alchemy Code Lab • Injoong Yoon — From Script to Screen: Applying the Rules of Screenwriting to Write Better Code • Sara Bahmanyar — Flying Cars are Not for Everyone: Public Transit Depictions in Science Fiction and Futuristic Media • Sumita Mukund — How Reality TV Inspired me to Learn UX
🛸🍩 Sara Bahmanyar will discuss depictions of public transit in science fiction and other futuristic media, consider what can be learned from those works, and examine some of the successes and failures of when we have seen those sci-fi transit ideas become real.
📺🍩 Sumita Mukund will talk to us about why reality TV is so compelling, how that translates into the importance of user experience, and what developers can do to better understand the design process.

Another awesome @donutjs meetup! Loved this talk from the wonderful @michaelpoley about writing a Text 📱based Text Adventure using @twilio Studio. Loved it, I died 3 times.
Text 'Tomb' to (503) 773-6563 to play. It's so hard! ⚔️🍩
Our fourth speaker tonight is @FeyNudibranch, sharing with us the story of her burnout and the subsequent archaeological dig of her family’s ancestral trash pit.

One thing @FeyNudibranch learned from her time spent digging: trash is gross.

Next up: A talk on using open source safely with @djsauble! Here, Daniel shows us how 95% of your web app can be dependencies—code you didn’t write!

Next up, @michaelpoley shows us his text adventure you can play via text message. Here, we see the eerie similarities between a banking system phone tree and a text adventure flowchart.
