Designing Your Life - RRU 254

Working back from the end of your life, Charles has you ask yourself what kind of life and career you want. Charles shares his vision for both his personal life and his career. After you pick your goal, build the skills, and knowledge to reach that goal. He uses the example of becoming a speaker at conferences. He also recommends you find a mentor or someone who has done what you want to and get their help.
Charles explains how important it is to get out of your own way mentally. Many people find reasons real or imagined as to why they can’t reach their goals. He agrees that the world is unfair and barriers can be real. The best way to show others they can overcome barriers is by doing it yourself and working towards your goals.

Building Resilient Architecture with Monica Lent - RRU 252
Monica Lent has been interested in software from a very young age, and made her first domain name when she was 9 years old. She left her job and founded a startup, analytic tool designed for bloggers designed around affiliate marketing. She talks about some of the lessons she’s learned, including how to sift through data and how to make it useful for people.

The panel discusses how to distill the priorities from the project manager so you know where to spend your time, something that takes a lot of experience and failure. They also talk about the merits of different practices such as whether or not to deploy on Friday and having engineers on call. Monica explains her opinion on how copying and pasting code instead of adding dependencies is a positive constraint. She prefers this method most of the time but not in all cases because it keeps your code flexible and avoids unnecessary specialization. However, she is not advocating for copy/paste over dependencies in every situation : rather the point comes down to using copy/paste instead of inappropriate coupling.

They also dive into how so much programming deals with other people and the importance of keeping your ego out of it when designing constraints, especially since developers hate other developer’s abstractions. They debate whether pride is a characteristic of junior or senior developers. They note that it is easier to get prideful and opinionated when you’re not working on a team.
