8LU - How to be a great developer without being a great coder by Nicole Carpenter
Learning to code and being a #softwaredeveloper is very much an individual journey, filled with plenty of highs and lows, but for a non-zero slice of developers, the lows seem far more abundant. For some learning to code, and even for some of us who do it for a living, it can often feel like we are struggling to tread water while our peers are effortlessly swimming laps around us.
There are plenty of people who believe that technical mastery is what makes someone a great developer, but in reality, there are so many more ingredients than that. Some developers take more time to build their technical know-how, and that’s ok, because being a great developer is about much more than writing superb code.
This talk looks at realistic strategies for people who feel like they are at an average-or-below coding skill level, to keep their head above water while still excelling in their career as developers. I will discuss learning styles and how to share technical growth through knowledge sharing. Finally, I will talk about the non-technical attributes and qualities that help to differentiate between a good developer and a great developer.
