Lessons from an old software guy

Kirk's seen a lot of different software shops, environments, cultures, products and teams. He's shipped over twenty different products in seven different large, medium and startup companies and lead teams as small as one to as large as 300 team members. In this talk, he boils down the essence of 30 years of experience into important learned lessons. Attendees will enjoy the often humorous and relaxed approach to mapping their career in IT and the software industry that are independent and yet equally applicable to their chosen technology stack, company culture or career path. The lessons vary from his successes and failures to team building, engineering rigor and discipline, ways to distinguish oneself to discovering and plotting a long term career path that brings satisfaction, challenge and continued growth. Attendees will come away with new ideas, encouragement and some guidance for how to choose or accelerate their career goals in the software industry. [224]
