Today on the show we have Arthur Doler.

Arthur (or Art, take your pick) has been a software engineer for 14 years and has worked on things as exciting as analysis software for casinos and things as boring as banking websites. He is an advocate for talking openly about mental health and psychology in the technical world, and he spends a lot of time thinking about how we program and why we program, and about the tools, structures, cultures, and mental processes that both help and hinder us from our ultimate goal of writing amazing things.

In this episode we talk about the following:

Actor observer bias

Fundamental attribution error

Stereotypes

Drive - Dan Pink

Autonomy

Mastery

Purpose

Google Effect on memory

The Curse of Knowledge

Breaking down actions into smaller chunks.

Fixed vs. Growth Mindset

Ways to get past the Imposter Syndrom:

1. Reflect

2. Shadow team members

3. Understand your feelings aren't grounded in facts

“The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else's highlight reel.” - Steven Furtick
