It’s Cool, Nobody Else Knows What They’re Doing Either

Learning is hard. Learning to be a great developer is really hard. A common developer worry is that others will figure out that they’re ‘faking it’. The developers around them feel the same way. Perhaps you feel like this at work. Your boss probably does too.

This talk will dive into how people learn and measure their knowledge. It will cover the “Three Types of Knowledge” as a framework to look at what separates a great senior developer from someone just starting. It will cover imposter syndrome; the feeling that you’re not good enough and eventually someone is going to find out. Next, how individuals and teams can overcome these issues and reach their full potential. Finally, this talk will look at how you can positively (and accurately) signal your expertise to others.
