The document discusses developing one's fluid intelligence through motivation and challenging cognitive activities. It emphasizes constantly learning new skills and subjects, even after mastery, to engage both sides of the brain and strengthen creative and problem-solving abilities. Creative thinking is described as making remote connections between concepts by switching between conventional and unconventional thinking.
Creative Disobedience: How, When and Why to Break the Rules (from BIL 2014)Andrea Kuszewski
Many people would agree that creativity is the number one key skill for success in this century. However, by definition, creativity requires breaking rules, and defying the status quo. Additionally, sometimes following the rules—and even the laws—can actually stall progress. How do we make a good decision about which rules and laws to break, and which ones to follow?
In order to maximize innovation, creative disobedience must be tolerated, encouraged, and even required, given the situation. Needless to say, doing this effectively is a tricky balance between disruption and maintaining forward progress on the overall goal. The most critical skill then, is understanding when to be creative—and to what degree—given the specific context.
In this talk, I will take you on a full tour of what creativity is, what it isn’t, and why breaking the rules is sometimes necessary for progress. I will also discuss recent research on attitudes about creativity. For example, companies consider creativity one of the most-desired traits in their current and future employees, yet it is rarely rewarded in practice. Why the discrepancy? How can this be changed? Finally, I will give you a short ‘How To’ guide on increasing the creativity in the workplace, where it is highly desired, but often most discouraged.

Creativity isn't a discipline for just designers. Ideas and creativity should come from everyone regardless of their role. Creativity can be taught and I've been heavily inspired by Tina Seelig and Tony Schwartz's presentations at the 2013 Behance ideas conference. They both provided jaw-dropping looks into how they see the creative process, which I will never look at the same way again.
That journey inspired me to prepare this presentation which is my attempt at teaching and spreading this infectious process to others who might not understand how creativity works or can find use from such information.
Unique solutions come from innovative problem solving. Having a framework is critical.
Insight. First find and define the problem.
Saturation. This is the information gathering phase chock full of research. Most designers hate this phase because it isn’t “creative” in their mind. From my perspective, the designers I respect most are all about saturating themselves in data and inspiration.
Incubation. This is where you walk away from ideas and thinking altogether, which Schwartz refers to as “thinking aside.” He explains that when you shut your mind off, your brain is able to spark the best creativity, which is why ideas pop in your head during a shower, while walking in nature or when you are dreaming. This is often an area I totally ignored since I’ve never really had the luxury of time, but one I’ll be looking to learn and apply in my ever-changing creative process.
Illumination. This is one step we are likely all familiar with. The infamous a-ha moment that stops you in your tracks.
Verification. This is the point where things start coming together; the part where you make it real. This part reminds me of the great scientists of history having an idea, testing it and learning from it.
Learn, modify and repeat. That being said, creativity isn’t supposed to be easy, as Cal Newport points out, it takes a level of deep work and focused intent to develop skills and solve problems. Malcolm Gladwell talked about 10,000 hours being the time it takes to master a task. Nonetheless, we have scientific data to back how the brain learns things.
Ideas are nothing without execution.

Expert Talks Cardiff 2017 - Keeping your ci-cd system as fast as it needs to beAbraham Marin-Perez
First, you automated your build. Then your build grew out of control, so you decided to split it into modules that trigger each other as needed. Now you have a large chain of builds, each of them taking a short amount of time (brilliant!), but each time you commit you don't just build one thing, you build and rebuild so many modules that it, again, takes forever to clear up every time you commit a change.
In this talk I'll show you what information you need to gather from your CI/CD pipeline, and how you can gather such information, in order to re-shape the architecture of your systems so as to optimise your build time

Merge hells!! feature toggles to the rescueLeena N
Introducing Continuous Delivery practices to a team in trouble can be daunting. Where do you start ? What do you do first ? Which battle do you pick first ?
I’ll share my experience of guiding a team to achieve a higher degree of delivery maturity. This is a journey from a troublesome, struggling start of chaotic manual deployments, merge hell, regular production roll backs and lost code, to deliver a single commit to trunk automatically and reliably, under an hour, many times a day.
Slides from my presentation in JavaOne 2016 on the topic of how to keep your CI/CD pipeline under control. Don't let it grow to unmanageable build times! Learn to find out when your pipeline is too slow and you need to do something about it, and when it's fine and you can just carry on with your life.
Persuasion, Motivation, and Behavior: The Science of When and Why the Rules D...Andrea Kuszewski
From GSummit 2014, in San Francisco
Science provides us with a number of general principles or rules of persuasion, motivation, and human behavior that tend to hold true for most people. For example, we know that people are more easily persuaded when we trigger an emotional response. Or if we reward a behavior, it is more likely to be repeated—and conversely, if we punish a behavior, it is less likely to be repeated. Or just the very basic principle that people tend to seek pleasure and avoid pain.
These shortcuts, or heuristics, are useful, and often, they work well. But for every rule there is at least one very important exception; times and situations in which people act in unexpected and counter-intuitive ways, the complete opposite of what you predicted. Statistically speaking, paying most attention to group behavior is fine. But sometimes the outliers are telling us something really important about the underlying motivations or characteristics of a subset of our audience, and sometimes not reaching that subset of people, or understanding what causes their behavior, carries a high cost.
I will be discussing three very different, and very critical, instances of ‘outlier behavior’ –explaining why they defy the norm, how you can identify these situations from the beginning, and some alternate strategies that can work with these outlier groups or conditions. Finally, I will talk about motivation types in the broader sense—those who are most and least likely to respond to incentives, why punishment doesn’t work on some people, and the difference between Happiness and Meaning as driving forces behind individual behavior.
Serverless Architectures and Continuous DeliveryRobin Weston
Serverless architectures have been touted as the next evolution of cloud-hosted software. Indeed, the promise of resiliency and scalability without the need for infrastructure management sounds too good to be true!
But how well do serverless architectures play with the patterns and practises of continuous delivery? Do they help or hinder us in our goal of delivering frequent and low risk software changes to production? What are the trade-offs to weigh up when considering using a serverless architecture on your next project?
This presentation will give a brief initial introduction to the world of serverless architectures. We’ll then look at their benefits and drawbacks, with a particular focus on our recent experiences building and operating a production AWS Lambda and API Gateway system. We’ll also look at the ever-evolving tooling and service ecosystems, and make some suggestions regarding how to start safely dipping your toes in the serverless waters.

Knowledge is the knowledge we get from our
experiences and discoveries about everything. However,
in order to come up with the appropriate solutions,
creativity is required to bring that knowledge together.

Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
