📢 Cincinnati Software Craftsmanship welcomes Steven Hicks! 📢

đź’¬ TALK DESCRIPTION đź’¬

You’ve followed along with the docs. Everything seems like it should be working. You’ve looked over this code 20 times, but you can’t figure out why it’s failing. You’re frustrated, and you’re ready to give up.

Even with the simplest of problems, we can get stuck. It happens to engineers of all experience levels - new hires and senior engineers alike. The key to success as a developer is knowing how to get yourself unstuck.

In this session, we’ll start by reframing the act of getting stuck as a positive. Then we’ll talk about many strategies for identifying the problem and moving on. We’ll discuss the psychology behind these strategies, and answer questions like “Why do my best ideas come to me in the shower?” Finally, we’ll look at ways to harden yourself for the next time you get stuck.

Getting unstuck is a skill. This session will help you sharpen that skill, and prepare you for the next time you want to throw your keyboard out a window.

đź‘‹ ABOUT STEVEN đź‘‹

Steven Hicks is a web developer with 20 years of experience. He believes that code is for humans, and should be written with them in mind. He is a big fan of JavaScript, and believes that if you ain’t falling, you ain’t learning.

Steve embraces continuous improvement and believes that a developer’s job is to solve problems, not just write code. He is a speaker, a writer, a teacher, a learner, and a teammate.

When he isn’t talking to the duck or smooshing 1s and 0s, you can find Steve outside. He’s probably camping with his family, racing a triathlon, running trails, or climbing fake rocks.
