They dive deep into the world of mentorship, personal growth, and problem-solving with our special guests, Joao and Manny, alongside our insightful panelists, AJ and Charles.
In this episode, they explore the transformative power of weekly accountability meetings (WAM), where tasks are committed and followed up with a yes or no, no excuses allowed. Joao and Manny share their journey of mentorship that crossed borders, forging a strong bond through adversity and mutual respect. We'll also delve into how their dynamic friendship amplifies professional standards, and the importance of balancing personal and professional relationships.
We discuss the profound impacts of structured problem-solving methods, specifically George Polya's renowned four-step process. Joao and Manny highlight how this systematic approach has refined their coding skills and overall problem-solving abilities. Alongside, we touch upon the fascinating intersection of human learning and AI, emphasizing the unique capacity humans have for generalizing new problems from limited data.
In addition, our speakers will share their roadmap for continuous learning, curriculum development, and practical exercises—highlighting tools like Trello for task management and Anki for reinforcing learning. AJ O'Neil offers his unique perspective on the talent it takes to thrive in programming and how personal enjoyment is crucial for sustained success.
