This red cape can fix your developer job
What if I told you that fixing your developer career didn’t require you to change jobs?
Coders change jobs at a record pace. More money. Interesting startup. Chance to work with new technology. These are all reasons we have jumped ship.
What if you could change your life at work without having to change everything in your life? — Darcy Eikenburg
As luck would have it Darcy and I met during our time at Heroic Public Speaking. I got to listen to her talk. It challenged many of my assumptions about building a better career.
Reset
As a coder, I am constantly thinking through my next steps. Our work is predominantly done in our heads. Therefore, our thoughts and feelings have a big impact on our careers.
In Red Cape Rescue, Darcy starts us out by resetting our how we think. Just like when our computer is not working. We just hit reset. This can get things on a better path.
She reminds us that we only control what we say, think, and do. That is it. This can frustrate us but we need to be reminded often.
You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.-Marcus Aurelius
