Session Abstract

Platforms like YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitch and Facebook have become integral parts of our professional lives. Our colleagues are everywhere, sharing their expertise and learning from each other. Imagine rubber ducking in front of tons of people who will actually help you out and come up with ideas, not to mention all the rewarding technical discussions we can have while getting things done! You couldn’t ask for a better pair programming experience. Personally, I suffer from social phobia – I hate showing off, I hate being singled out and I hate having my actions judged. So what was I thinking when I started speaking in front of people? I started streaming my work as a form of therapy. I decided to do something I knew a lot about and where I felt secure, and pushed my limits. In the end, I ended up in front of people! After a short theoretical introduction, we will move on to a more practical exercise where we’ll set up for streaming from start to finish, and in the end actually go online! Leverage and expand your network to grow both your professional and personal life!
