Leading Change from the Bottom
We've all been there: the Big Boss is demanding things change, right now. They're doing it by force, through OKRs and merit increase penalties. Now you're the Boss, and it all feels... yucky, maybe even manipulative. You don't want to force a team of monkeys to do your bidding. You want to inspire change and have happy people doing their best. How? Let's talk about how you can make it a support structure instead of a command structure.
7 Languages in 7 Hours Part 1
Hands on experience in seven different languages, ranging from object oriented to functional, from the cozy and familiar to the eye squintingly terse and foreign. You'll work through a familiar kata in each of them, showing you how to approach an entirely new language. You'll learn about the strengths and weaknesses of each language out in the real world. You'll also see how each
language's quirks can teach us ways to improve the code we write every day.
You may not come out of this precompiler an expert in all of these languages, but you'll have learned a lot about how to get started with a new one. You may even discover a new passion! At the very least, the next time a new language comes along, you'll have the tools you need to tackle it, and enough knowledge to help you push past the "what is this syntax even doing" barrier.
Languages: Ruby, Clojure, Haskell, Rust, Elixir, Go, Elm
