Back in the ring for another swing

By Espen Sande-Larsen

Elevator Pitch

Coding almost killed me - yet I keep doing it!

So what was supposed to be the best year of my life, turned into the worst. Yet I survived, and I keep doing what I love - yet it almost cost me everything. I will share the pitfalls of being a one-man-team in an ambitious startup, how to get back out!

Description

Coding almost killed me - yet I keep doing it!

So what was supposed to be the best year of my life, turned into the worst one. Yet I somehow survived, and I keep doing what I love - even though it almost cost me everything. I will share all the pitfalls of being a one-man-DevOps team for an ambitious startup, how to work yourself back out of the rut, and how I embraced my own madness to keep on thriving in the best line of work there is - and that is programming - or coding - of course.

I will share quite openly about some of the hardest things I have had to cope with - both on a professional and a personal level. But have no fear - This is a light-hearted talk - and I hope we can all share a laugh or three…

Notes

This talk features a live musical element, so I will need a vocal microphone, and to be able to plug in an electric piano. I will bring the piano.
