Polyglot Programming - Staying ahead of the curve.

By Quinn Wilson

Elevator Pitch

Your expertise is going to get outdated in no time, no matter how hard you try. Join me exploring the pros and cons of trying to learn / do / know it all.

Description

With the vibrancy and wealth of options in the tech world these days, can you be anything but a Full Stack developer? I’m a self professed Full Stack developer and the teams I have joined in the past few years have seen me becoming a Just In Time expert at multiple technologies. We are in the age of the polyglot developer but there are experts in established and legacy technologies that don’t seem to go out of demand.

In this talk I will compare and contrast my experiences on teams with experts and generalists, look at how to stay in demand, and explore ways to future-proof your career.
