Session

Quit while your ahead

From an early age, we've been taught the value of perseverance, to never give up, and to hang on in there, and never quit. I'm sure many of you will recall motivational pictures on office walls and the funny memes on the internet – but what if that kitten hanging in there just let go? What if it landed in a better place?

From your career to relationships, choosing when to quit a situation gives you the power and control over your life and work to make way for better things.

This doesn't mean rage quitting or simply giving up. As developers, we are analytical by nature and can apply critical analysis to ourselves and our surroundings.

I've quit many a time and I'll share my reasoning behind my various decisions and the outcomes that came from them.

You'll leave the session armed with the knowledge that quitting doesn't have to be negative, that you can review situations and make well-considered decisions, and that letting go can lead to something truly spectacular.
