We’ll journey through code that was so ‘bad’ it was actually good. Then we’ll learn t o tame our inner perfectionists so our code will be even better than it is today.\n\n \n Jessica Rudder is a recovering perfectionist that learns to code through a combination of reading\, askin g colleagues and banging her head against a wall. When she's not helping t o build Flatiron School's Learn platform\, she can be found training for u ltra marathons on the streets of NYC or creating code-related videos on Yo uTube for CompChomp. She is an avid squirrel photographer and loves the co lor green.\n\nJess Rudder\n \n \n Jessica Rudder is a recovering perfectionist that learns to code th rough a combination of reading\, asking colleagues and banging her head ag ainst a wall.

We have an amazing panel of p eople who have used their skills and talents from both previous careers an d current to make the world a better place. Learn how they got involved\, and in turn what you can do to get involved in areas you’re passionat e about to fill this missing piece that will keep you happy throughout you r career.\n\n \n In her previous life\, Polly was a teacher of elementary through high school students.

As programmers\, we invest large amounts of time in mastering new languages\, new techniques\, and ne w tools. But all too often\, we neglect our understanding of the most impo rtant tool in the developer's toolbox: the programmer's brain itself.\n\nI n this talk\, we will combine the art of programming with the science of c ognitive psychology\, and emerge with a deeper understanding of how to lev erage the limits of the human mind to sustainably craft software that is l ess buggy\, easier to understand\, and more adaptive in the face of change .\n\n \n Originally designed by Apple in Calif ornia as a laptop-durability testing device\, Don has spent the past seven years working around the world as a software engineer and back-pocket CTO \, helping companies solve tough team management and scaling issues.\n\nDo n lives in Tokyo\, and spends his spare time shoehorning Western cooking i nto a kitchen the size of a postage stamp\, hiking through the stunning be auty of the Japanese mountains\, and training to survive the impending zom bie apocalypse.\n\nDon Werve\n \n \n Originally designed by Apple in California as a laptop-durabilit y testing device\, Don has spent the past seven years working around the w orld as a software engineer and back-pocket CTO\, helping companies solve tough team management and scaling issues.\n\nDon lives in Tokyo\, and spen ds his spare time shoehorning Western cooking into a kitchen the size of a postage stamp\, hiking through the stunning beauty of the Japanese mounta ins\, and training to survive the impending zombie apocalypse.
