Things I wish I knew when I started programming

Brent fell in love with code when he was twelve. Looking back, young him didn't know many things about programming, and there were many struggles to wade through during the first years of his professional career. A year or two ago he got confronted with what felt like yet another new reality: the rise of AI, and especially his struggles with it.
In this talk, Brent looks back at the things he wish he knew fifteen years ago and how that knowledge can help him (and hopefully you) find stability in what feels like a new era of programming.

This meetup starts at 20:00.

This meetup will happen in the offices of Bits of Love. The parking space is limited, so it's advised to come on time (or by bike). You can also park your car in the parking space at the roundabout, or the parking strip in the Rijselstraat.
