or "Strategies learned from coaching, teaching, and StackOverflow"

If you work with thousands of developers, ranging from the experienced to the aspirational, you can see what patterns of thought seem to confer success. Raymond shares what he’s seen that works best for developing problem solving skills, learning how to learn, how to get unstuck, and reliable strategies for managing complexity.

The talk includes live coding examples to make these ideas concrete.
