Being deeply passionate about technology creation I am a continuous learner in the field. Between reading, trying out technologies and multiple programming languages, presenting and participating to developer communities and conferences, I have learned enough to write two books and teach hundreds of developers.

I love working with smart people who want to get better at what they do, whether it’s team work, communication, management or technical skill.

The human brain is habit-driven. We know from recent research that habits are quasi-impossible to break; they can only be replaced by other habits. We also know that you are driven by habits for most of the time during the day, often without even noticing. Some of these habits are not helpful or even harmful. Many programmers I know only grow to 10% of their potential due to their bad habits.

This knowledge raises some important issues for developers who wish to become better, to adopt new practices, to be more effective, to grow in their careers, to make better technical decisions. Therefore, it should be an interesting topic for software crafters.

Let’s discuss therefore about programming habits:

• learn about good and not-so-good habits
• how to replace some of the bad habits with good ones
• how taking responsibility will help you grow
• finally, how deliberate practice, getting out of your comfort zone, and social programming can help you improve

This talk is organized and brought to you in collaboration with our friends from the Software Crafts Romandie Meetup Group.
