My job role is a Technical Lead. When researching some cloud technologies for adoption I came across the Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s Landscape web page which lists all cloud technologies that come under their umbrella.
The sheer number and variety of them made me realise that perhaps players of games like Magic The Gathering or Dota would probably feel right at home when designing cloud applications since the job involves identifying apps that synergize with each other and min-maxing their costs.
So I was curious if there were more such examples where gaming skill could translate well to real life jobs?
Never heard of 'em.
Exhibit A vs Exhibit B
…yes, I am aware that a video game and a band are different things that both exist, but that doesn’t help me have heard of them before I made that comment.
I was poking fun at the fact that you called the game by the wrong name. At the time I just figured you also knew the band and your brain made a funny thinko.
Turns out that wasn’t why, I suppose.
Oh shit, I didn’t even realize. Yeah, I’d never heard of them, so that was definitely mobile autocorrect. My bad.
