Mpls Jr Devs

<A HREF="https://mplsjrdevs.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Mpls Jr Devs</A> is a community of aspiring and less experienced software engineers and we’re putting on a special event for <A HREF="https://twincitiesstartupweek.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Twin Cities Startup Week</A> this year that's open to all experience levels: Developer Horror Stories. Everyone’s got one. Maybe you brought down prod, wrote some cringe-worthy code, accidentally dropped a database, had an extra weird code review, or experienced something else equally horrifying in your software career. We want to hear about all of it.
 Who this event is for
This event is open to anyone and everyone who's interested in supporting our community.
Any and all experience levels, ages, races, ethnicities, religions, sexual orientations and personal pronouns are welcome, whether you're a developer or not.
 
What to expect
Come prepared to both share your best stories, and be entertained.  
When you arrive, you'll be asked to put your name, pronouns, and answer a conversation-starter question on your name tag.
There will be ample time to get to know each other, both before and after the main presentation.

Presentation
Developer Horror Stories. Think of it kind of like <A HREF="https://themoth.org/share-your-story/at-a-live-event" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Moth</A>, but in a much more casual, developer-centric environment.
Our organizing team will be emcee-ing the event, with the help of some special guests & volunteers. You'll be able to add yourself to the list when you arrive, and we'll call people up one at a time to share their stories.
If you can't make it or prefer to share your story anonymously and have us read it on your behalf, please <A HREF="https://forms.gle/972GJSQ8DYUevESF7" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">fill out this form</A> in advance.
 
Introductions
Introductions are meant to encourage folks to meet people they don't already know. They will be done in a small group format. Each person will be asked to briefly introduce themselves and share something that's currently challenging them.
After 10 minutes, we'll break from our groups and move on to the main presentation.
 
Getting there
The event space is located in the Baker Building on the 13th floor at 733 S Marquette Ave, at the corner of S Marquette Ave and S 8th Street, in the Baker Building. We ask that you plan your arrival prior to the event as the building doors lock at 6pm. We encourage you to use the entrance on the corner of S Marquette Ave and S 8th Street, use the <A HREF="https://s3.amazonaws.com/meet-minneapolis/craft/cms/skyway-guide.pdf?mtime=20180411095313" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="Skyway Map" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Skyways</A> to arrive (which you may enter through the IDS buildling if needed), look for one of our volunteers for the suggested path, and take the elevator bank to the 13th floor.
We recommend public transit or biking - the Baker Building is located two and a half blocks from the Nicollet Mall light rail station, and one block from many bus stops (see below) on Nicollet Mall and a couple bike-friendly roads.
<UL>
<LI>Bus: the 4, 6, 10, 11, 17, 18, 25, and 61 bus lines run along Nicollet Mall.</LI>
<LI>Bike: There is not indoor bike parking, so you'll need to lock up outside.</LI>
<LI>Car: If you're driving, street parking my be your best bet. You can park in the Baker Building, or any other nearby lots, but it will likely be expensive.</LI>
