How This Course Works

As a software engineer, you're expected to get a lot done with very little time. The compounding problem on top of that is how incredibly easy it is to get distracted as a digital warrior. This course is here to teach you how you can move faster and waste less time. Here are the core parts of the lesson:

• Your instructor Alex Chiou walks you through his extensive 10+ year Silicon Valley background across top companies like Meta and Robinhood, explaining how he was able to be a high-performing tech lead at both those companies working 30-40 hours weeks (particularly at Meta).
• You'll understand why being productive as a software engineer is so hard and why being unproductive as a software engineer is so easy.
• We walk you through the course objectives. By the end of the course, you will:

  • 💯 Know the true most important productivity booster

  • 💡 Champion the right mentality to foster productivity

  • 🏃‍♂️ Use the right tactics to move faster

  • 🛡️ Have shields to prevent you from wasting time

  • 🤔 Learn how to debug a lack of productivity
