The butterfly effect is such an underrated phenomenon.
It was at DeltaHacks 2025 back in September. I was walking up the stairs when Davies Umoh stopped me. "Sammy!!! I recognize you from LinkedIn, we NEED TO TALK."
So we did.
Fast forward to now, we've hit the Intuit office together. Then Shopify. Today, Google. And very soon, the office I'll be working at for my summer internship (wink wink 😉).
He could've walked away. He could've just smiled. Instead, he stopped me. We talked. And if we hadn't shown up at that exact moment, none of this would've happened.
That's the butterfly effect. One single moment can change the entire course of your life.
Now think about every room you've ever been in. All the amazing people in it. Imagine if you walked up to every single one. Regardless of how awkward. Regardless of how scared. You just DID it. You introduced yourself. You made them feel special.
Think of where your life could be right now.
So when you're in a room, be the Davies in someone else's story.
Thank you Google & GitCloud, for an awesome event ❤️
