- Learning how to learn effectively
- Teaching software development
- Artificial intelligence
- Neural networks
- Battling mental burnout
- Effective mentoring
- Competition vs teamwork in the bootcamp classroom
- The search for the right balance of ABC (always be coding) and time spent thinking/reflecting
- The effect of capricious deadlines on developers
- Cognitive biases in the software industry
- The journey from Unconscious Incompetance > Unconscious Competance
- How to accept constructive criticism in a code review
- How to manage a team with minimal, to no, bias
