Data collection done by people is a wasteful act and could result in duplicated work by different people.
Gathering info for tasks, or for the ability to maintain code or infrastructure – Documentation plays a crucial part in that.
In this talk, I’ll show you a structured way to write a technical doc, without being a technical writer – So everyone could do it to their best ability. I’ll explain why you should care about these docs, and how eventually it serves your best interests (Yes, more than 1). If you want to save your time and other people’s time – Writing documentation well could have a great impact on that.
Learn a humane approach to managing underperforming team members, with strategies for setting expectations, providing direct feedback, fostering growth, and handling tough conversations with compassion.
In this talk, Hywel will discuss the skills needed as engineers progress on different career paths (both technical leadership and people management), and how they can be learned outside the ‘production environment’ of the team.
In my talk I will explain that this is generally a pretty bad idea; it won’t surface the best ideas and it doesn’t let more junior engineers develop their skills. Instead, I introduce some steps you can take to make sure that the idea adopted to solve a problem is the best idea available, even if you aren’t the one who came up with it. Perhaps counter-intuitively I will show how this increases your influence in your organisation and sets everyone up for success.
n this talk, Mitra Raman will take a look at the many paths that engineers can take on their leadership journey.
