Developer Mindsets

Development is not just an activity, it is a state of mind. In this episode we sit down with Colby Cook of Genuine (@wearegenuine) and talk about what it means to have a developer mindset. In our conversation we discuss what development has in common with construction, why approaching development as a series of steps is important and what you need to know about yourself as a developer.

Key Takeaways

• Remember to approach development as a series of steps that build ontop of each other.


• Be mindful of what problems you are trying to solve, only build to solve those problems.


• Keep in mind who you are, what you know and what you don't know. Use your team to balance stengths and weaknesses.
