Become an Iconoclast, be irreplaceable. Self-Engineer.


Two of the takeaways from the 1DevDay Detroit conference 11/17/2012.

I wrote up my thoughts and takeaways on the 1DevDay Detroit conference for the Enlighten blog, and you can find the post here:

I just wanted to expand for just a moment on the keynotes.  They weren’t technical.  You probably didn’t learn anything that would significantly impact your coding ability.  But they were, in many ways, the most important thing that was presented at the conference.  Both keynotes, if the principles are applied to our daily lives, would impact our life success far more than a little tip on the newest coding language.

So I urge people to take talks like these to heart.  Apply the practical points the speakers give, and continue to appreciate self-improvement just as much as technical detail.
