Keynote: Steps to Wisdom for C++ Developers - Kate Gregory - CppNorth 2023
Do you have to be old to be wise? You do not. You can learn and discover wisdom over a lifetime, but you can also learn small lessons that open the doors to a wiser way of living - at any age. This talk presents a selection of lessons that can make a real difference in how you write code, architect systems, participate in meetings, manage your career, and generally live. Some of it you already know, but aren’t relying on. Some of it will be new to you. I want to give you the confidence to tackle things the way a wise person tackles them, and the benefits that can bring you.

I don't like C++ but I do like listening to Kate Gregory.

[@abhinavk0929]

This is the just the greatest talk ever. I hope people come back to this to gain wisdom that not only could be applied to cpp, but to life itself.

[@dennisestenson7820]

I owe my career to "this should work". As an autodidactic programmer, everything I've done in my career started out as something I didn't know how to do, but believed it could be done. If I ever really doubted it, I couldn't have accomplished it.

[@victoreijkhout7115]

"Stop doing things that you only do because they feel like work". (paraphrased) That's a hard truth.
