Development & the Philosophy of Stoicism

On this episode, we have Sam Hernandez from Precocity LLC on to talk to us about how the centuries old philosophy of Stocism applies to development, and to our lives.

Stocism is a philosophy designed to make us more resilient, happier, more virtuous and more wise–and as a result, better people, better parents and better professionals.

Sam talks to us about how we can use the philosophy to improve our lives, and improve our jobs as developers.

Never fret over the tabs vs. spaces argument ever again!
