Commit Your Code is taking place in Dallas Sep 3&4. You can attend virtually for free or you can donate to them which goes to a charity. I will blog some of my takeaways.
Never Click Apply Get Hired
Leon Noel
Leon's talk was about networking and building relationships to help you get known and get interviews. He said only 2% people that use easy apply actually get interviews.
Instead you should be talking to people, commenting on their posts and chatting now and not just when you are on the job hunt. Talk had a lot of resources which he's gonna send out.
Ship It First, Fix It Later
Roxy Rodriguez-Becker
Roxy made a tool to help track her son's medically required diet. She made an app for her family to use. Then deployed it and got a lot of users that gave feedback and helped her improve the app.
She encourages you to build your project and then put it out there for people to use and help you make it better.
These talk will eventually be released on the Dallas Software Developer's YouTube page.
