Making Badass Developers

Kathy Sierra (Serious Pony) Fluent Conf 2015 keynote discusses the optimization techniques for learning quicker by acknowledging our cognitive capabilities and modifying how we approach learning and mastering new skills or working with new APIs. I’ve been fascinated with cognitive overhead for a while – it’s great to get practical recommendations on how to combat it besides the common advice of simply exposing yourself to less of it by reducing daily choices across the board. This is definitely worth your time if you’re a web developer or are in a position where you’re required to do a massive amount of learning in a constrained time period.
