In Daring Greatly\, based o n twelve years of pioneering research\, Dr. Brené Brown dispels the cult ural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argues that it is\, in trut h\, our most accurate measure of courage. \;\n \;\nSimilarly\, in Being Wrong\, journalist Kathryn Schulz argues that error is the fundame ntal human condition and should be celebrated as such. In this view\, er ror is both a given and a gift – one that can transform our worldviews\, our relationships\, and\, most profoundly\, ourselves. \;\n \;\nD aring Greatly and Being Wrong were made for each other. Join Deeple Pate l and Melody Dawn for a discussion and exploration of these two powerful books and their endless takeaways. Most of us avoid the topics of being wrong and vulnerable\, but these two authors have laid out the undeniab le reasons for why it is so beneficial for us to push past this fear and discomfort. Whether you read one\, both or some portion of these books\ , you are welcome in the conversation. \;\n \;\nCome ready to shar e your unique perspective and learn from others’ experiences. \;\n 3\;\nPDXWIT is a community-based non-profit organization.

They become overwhelmed by the e normous amount of information to learn and do not know where to start. T o rectify that\, we have a group of women speaking who can demystify som e of the tools\, jargon\, and jobs around software: \;\n \;\nPolin a Vorozheykina\, a software engineer at New Relic\, will share her exper ience entering the industry into a far more senior team of 12 engineers. She will cover useful terminology to know\, how to go about asking ques tions\, and how to begin building broad software expertise. \;\n \ ;\nAshley Puls\, a principal engineer and architect at New Relic\, will cover some useful tools and terminology engineers encounter on a daily b asis. \;\n \;\nElisa Binette\, the senior manager of Site Reliabil ity Engineering at New Relic\, will demystify some of the roles and job titles used in the technology industry. What’s a full stack\, front end \, or backend engineer? What’s a DBA? What are the key differences betw een a senior\, lead\, or engineering manager? \;\n \;\nAfterwards \, beginning engineers should better understand common technology terms and the desired skills within each role.
