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?
I participated in a study a year ago where i had to solve visual YES/NO logic puzzles that relied on fast pattern and spacial recognition skills. While i was doing those for like 40 minutes i was getting my brain scanned in an MRT. According to them i scored well above average in speed and precision. I feel like video games might have helped with that but it might just be genetic idk.
