Shanise Barona: @shanisebarona | shanisebarona.com 00:16 – Welcome to “Plant Parenthood!” …we mean, “Greater Than Code!” 02:19 – Shanise’s Background Story and Superpower Girl Develop It 03:08 – “Lazy Perfectionism”, “The Explosion of Dissonance”, and “The Moment of Click” The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life by Mark Manson You Are a Badass by Jen Sincero 12:49 – Improving Self-Directed Learning 100 Days of Code 15:35 – Having Tunnel Vision Past the Point of Where You Should and Moving Beyond a Comfort Zone  “I understood lazy perfectionism differently, more as the tendency to refactor, polish, and improve the various “-ilities” of your code long past the point when you should have moved on to something else. It’s like . . . tunnel vision on things that are important but not all-important. Finding the right balance there is super hard for me.” – Nathaniel Knight  Thank you to our latest $50 Patron, Josh Schmelzle! 21:50 – “Performative Diversity” and Community Building Ela Conf 28:33 – Words and Actions: Influencing Diversity and Inclusion (D&amp;I) 34:25 – Being Angry on Social Media But Feeling the Need to be Perceived as Positive (All the Time) Reflections: Sam: Lazy perfection is a thing with a label and something to pay attention to. Janelle: How shallow efforts can be to create change (i.e. conference diversity). Mandy: Stop giving lip service! Step up and prove that you care about diversity and inclusion by supporting groups and missions like Greater Than Code. Jamey: Having connections with people to prove to yourself you’re not alone. Jessica: If you want to have diverse attendees, get a diverse leadership team. Shanise: 1. Seeking a balance between wanting and not wanting explosions of dissonance.  Find opportunities to highlight people that wouldn’t normally get opportunities to be highlighted.  This episode was brought to you by @therubyrep of DevReps, LLC.

044: Lazy Perfectionism and Performative Diversity and Inclusion with Shanise Barona

I have Shanise Barona with me today and she’s a web developer right here in Philly! She talks about her adventures and struggles on learning backend and frontend technologies, and what it’s like being the newest Elaconf Organizer.  We talk about Kendrick's new album How confusing it is to drive around here in Philly Her experience with Flatiron Bootcamp What the online bootcamp lessons are like Some bootcamps give false promises It's not good to compare yourself to others sometimes Learning all the things can be detrimental How to not keep up with your blog Neopets—where was I?! How teachers can affect your career My experience learning computer science Oh, she talks about Elaconf! Elaconf is the best!
