Our next speaker: On critical thinking for devs

With so many trends, so much hype and so many mixed messages on the web, Remy felt like his ability to think critically about certain content needed to be questioned.

For this, we've invited Mike Hall to bring his experience in thinking critically.

Who: Mike Hall

What: Debugging the Mind: A Programmer's Guide to Critical Thinking

By challenging assumptions, using evidence-based reasoning, and recognising our bias, we're able to come to better solutions. Mike is going to outline how a sceptical approach can help avoid common pitfalls and foster more reliable decisions.

As well as sharing his "sceptical skills", Mike also co-hosts an excellent podcast called Skeptics with a K along side Michael Marshall and Dr Alice Howarth. An excellent listen for deep dives into … well, all kinds of things 👍
