In this episode of the Dead Code Podcast, Jared interviews his brother Alistair Norman and colleague Senem Soy about their experiences with conference talks. Alistair recently spoke at RailsConf in Detroit on mentorship and pair programming, choosing the topic for its broad relevance and personal interest. He prepared for the talk by biking 750 kilometers from Toronto to Detroit, which, while mentally relaxing, left him less time to finalize his presentation. Senem, gearing up for her first talk at Madison Ruby, discusses how her passion for paragliding influences her problem-solving in programming, focusing on mental training and stress management. Both highlight the importance of choosing engaging topics and thorough preparation to reduce stress and enhance the delivery of their talks.
