Forget Velocity, Let's Talk Acceleration

Want to get better at your job? It isn’t enough to keep going. We need to move faster and – even more important – in the right direction. Since the “right” direction is constantly shifting, we need new strategies for acceleration.

As a programmer, we do something new every day. How do we get better at doing new things?

In this session, Jessica has answers both code-based and human-based. Along the way, you’ll find out:

Which programming language is the best?
What is “done”?
and, Why is software development so hard?
Come to this talk if you want to shift how you think about your job, and possibly life.
