Full Stack Human

MON, OCT 16, 3:30 PM
Conference
The future belongs to the Full Stack Human, a term inspired by computer programmers who are the Swiss army knives of the development world. Fluent in both culture and code, they're able to work across the entire development process. From the front to the back end, they can seamlessly transition from one environment to the next. They're driven by a boundless sense of curiosity— it’s not enough to know that something works, they need to understand the how and why behind each functionality. Join the Future Crunch team as they explore how the same, Full Stack concept applies to our lives. Most of us use a limited set of tools, trying to solve our problems the same way again and again, and often ignore our more hidden backend systems. In this entertaining and mind-expanding presentation, audiences will learn why using a full stack of systems - carefully curating your information diet, applying new approaches to problem-solving techniques, and harnessing the power of storytelling - can be a superpower in today's world.
