Mom Problems: How to Manage Life and Still Be a Great Developer

Life as a Mom (or Dad) can be hard without adding in the element of self-growth. It’s hard for us parents to take the time away and learn the things we want to know. So how do we make time for becoming better developers? By the time I have alone time, I either want to pass out or binge watch Friends on Netflix.

Shortcuts. It’s all about finding shortcuts and planning ahead. It’s amazing how much you can get done in 15 or 20 mins if you know exactly what you want to do. I have, somehow, found a way to be a mediocre mom, decent developer, active volunteer and a part-time dev instructor by organizing the hell out of everything I do.

What you can expect to get from this session:

• A few laughs, likely at my expense
• Some fairly decent organization tips
• And hopefully some great ways to be a better developer parent person.
