Name: Video recording for A Pep-Talk For the Tortoise Learners of Software Development - Codementor Events
Uploaded: 2023-03-14
Description: Seif has 13 years of experience working in fields like software development, IT development, communication, etc. He will be talking about how to work in the software industry as a slow learner.

## About the talk
In this talk, I will share a key lesson I've learned (over the past 13+) years, about learning software-development and other STEM subjects. This lesson has resulted from my work and learning experiences as: a professor and social-science researcher; lover of learning; career-changer; neurodiverse individual; and mental-healthcare worker-in-training (in preparation of becoming a mental health counselor/therapist). And that lesson can be summarized via the allegory of the kids' famous tale about the tortoise and the hare.

### This talk will cover
- How to tell if you’re “a tortoise”—i.e., a slow learner, or “a hare”—i.e., a quick learner;
- How to embrace yourself as a slow learner;
- And most importantly, how to improve your thinking--and continuing the pursuit of excellence, without feeling worn out.
