Building Esteem
Esteem is built backwards.
How do you reflect?
Continual improvement does not mean only focusing on the problems.
Esteem dies
Esteem dies fromfocusing on blame.
Esteem dies fromweak management.
Esteem dies from assholes.
Esteem thrives
Esteem thrives in communities.
Esteem thrives in celebration.
Esteem comes from shipping.
Make sure there aren’t bugs/issues before going to production. code
reviews Explore the story of code.
Developers do what they’re good at. cross-pollination Collaboration is promiscuous.
Figure out what went wrong so it doesn’t happen again.
retrospectives Amplify what went right.
None
Self-Actualization
Who do you want to be when you grow up?
Dreams versus goals
You need a trajectory.

Becoming a Developer
“DO IT BY MY OWN!”
I loved video games.
I really loved hardware.
I knew hardware was made by nerds like me.
If they could do it, I could do it.
Step one of becoming the person I wanted to be.
• Ignition • Deep Practice • Master Coaching

Ignition

What’s possible
Someone you can identify with
Someone you can aspire to become
This is why diverse voices matter.
None

Ignition is about belief

Deep Practice
None
“Five Years Experience”
Deep practice is not busy.
Deep practice is not hard.
Deep practice is difficult.
Deep practice pushes limits.
You tell your friends about it.
Deep practice builds scar tissue.
Your day-to-day is not difficult.
• Algorithms • Data Structures • User Experience • Performance
Optimization • Code Under Constraint
• Code Katas • Refactoring • Open Source • New
Languages • Teaching / Mentoring
Deep practice needs constant feedback.
None
Getting Feedback
The computer gives unrelenting feedback.
None
Your career is built on luck & error messages.
That’s not predictable.
That’s not sustainable.
That’s not enough.
Sustained growth necessitates master coaching.

Master Coaching I: Feedback
75% Instructive
Feedback is purposeful.
Your variables are poorly named. specific Your variables should be
snake_cased.
The ad needs more “pop”. measurable The ad needs to
be readable at 1000 feet when printed 12’x12’.
This class mixes multiple concerns. actionable Responsibilities need to be
extracted into child classes.
Your Backbone app is slow. Rewrite it with Angular.
realistic Your app is slow. Add monitoring to find out why.
The app you wrote last year is bogging down in
production. timely Your latest feature is slowing down in CI.
• Specific • Measurable • Actionable • Realistic • Timely
None
Master Coaching II: Guidance
What ideals do you strive for?
Ideals can never be fully achieved.
I keep all lines of code shorter than 80 characters.
ideals Code is read more than written, so I value readability over cleverness.
Exemplars help measure progress.
Code should be well written. exemplars Well written code stays
under 80 columns per line.
Ideals set your direction, Exemplars show growth.
Coaches help turn ideals into action plans.
You want to become
• JavaScript • Evented Programming • Documentation • Taking Criticism
• Extreme Running
None
A coach helps define ideals, and a pathway of exemplars.
Feedback corrects course.
Growth plans change, the goal remains.
None
Master Coach
You need a dedicated coach.
You need a
A person whose only responsibility is making you
better.
• Empathy • Expertise • Experience • Organization • Passion
Great coaching builds dynasties.
This is your whole life.
