I recently watched a video on YouTube titled, “Making Badass Developers”, which was uploaded in 2015. In the video, O’Reilly Publishing’s author Kathy Sierra presented her thoughts on learning. Her use of sarcasm in the presentation slide deck enhanced the motivational tone of her speech. The video starts off with Sierra explaining how humans (which we all are – we’re not unicorns or humanoids), have “extremely scarce, easily depleted cognitive resources.”
