Developer on Fire

Episode 347 | Gwen Faraday - Confident Growth

Guest:
Gwen Faraday talks to Dave Rael about becoming a professional developer, organizing user groups, helping people, and doing uncomfortable things

Gwendolyn Faraday is a software developer from Indianapolis, IN. Professionally, she works mostly with cross-platform mobile technologies, React, and Node on AWS. For fun, she loves dabbling in other languages, working on new IoT projects, and making apps that help people learn or build good habits through gamification.

Gwen's top 3 tips for delivering more value:
  1. Communication - ask the right questions
  2. Ask those right questions up front
  3. Resist the temptation to jump into code right away before the necessary communication
