The good feeling new developers get when they begin to program for the first time fades as we get more experience and learn more. Is it possible to recapture that feeling?
New developers experience excitement through an abundance of things to learn and improve, often leading to a positive feedback loop of visible and rewarding progress.
However as we gain experience and proficiency new ideas, techniques and knowledge become increasingly more complex, and so it becomes challenging to sustain the same level of enthusiasm.
How can we overcome this hurdle so that we can all fall back into that rewarding feedback loop again, and reignite the joy and satisfaction that code can bring?
I’m a passionate believer in enabling engineers to focus on the interesting parts of their job and less on the mundane; through elegant tooling, automation and fantastic developer experiences. Happier developers supported by great tooling build better products.
My work at Octopus Energy focuses this passion towards helping our engineers drive the green energy revolution across the world.
