A career in development is full of challenges. However it can be easy to slip into a cycle of development stagnation, approaching every problem the same way, with the same tools. In this episode we talk with Mark Robert Henderson (@hackforthesea), a lead developer at CUASHI and organizer of the Hack for the Sea hackathon about the values of finding ways to challenge yourself as a developer. We discuss how challenging yourself allows you to grow as a developer, as well as, some examples of ways to challenge yourself.

Levels of "Developer Enlightenment"

  • Not knowing things and knowing you dont know things.
  • Not knowing things and thinking you know (all) things.
  • Knowing things and thinking you know (all) things.
  • Knowing things and knowing you still dont know things.

Methods to Challenge Yourself

  • Question your approach to solving a problem, and try a different method.
  • Be open to feedback to your work in code reviews.
  • Attend a Hackathon, use a new tool, language or framework.
