Debugging Burnout
Working in a product space requires knowing how to take a very complex problem and break it down into iterative chunks. Far too often, we’re so wrapped up in the problems we’re solving professionally, that we completely forget to introspectively look at ourselves and ask what problems in our own lives need solving. Burnout is real and worth addressing. But much like the dev process, understanding the “why” behind behavior leads to a more sustainable outcome. We want to develop a framework and language to properly identify burnout and how we can work through it.
So You Want To Give a Tech Talk...
Figuring out how to give a technical talk has so many unanswered questions! What do I talk about? How am I going to make the talk last a WHOLE 30 minutes? Who is going to be there listening to me?
Join me as I walk through the process of ideating, cultivating, and delivering a technical talk. You absolutely can stack the cards in your favor, and find more opportunities to practice than you think you can! This meta-talk will bring along me coming up with, developing, and delivering a talk about building a custom solution to an experimenting problem.
The Defensive Developer - Krav Maga for Code
After doing Krav Maga for 11 years, there is a mindset that develops to keep you and yours safe when faced with the unknown. There are lessons to be learned in self defense that apply to development as well. Join me as we apply tools like Situational Awareness, Addressing the Immediate Threat, and Putting in Work now for safety later in your project.
Writing code that is good enough for a text book is amazing. Writing code that is a POC that solves an immediate business need is important. Being able to have a foot in both camps is powerful.
