How to Make It Look Like You Know What You Are Doing (/dev/world 2018)

Presented by: Nic Wittison

Have you ever been asked to work on something that seemed technically impossible? Have you ever been asked to complete something in half the time you think it's going to take? It's been a wild ride for me working at Canva for the last 4 years, lots of code, lots of features and lots of fun. If I have learned anything it's that your ability ship things on time comes down to how you can work smarter, not harder.

This talk covers the general approach that I use at Canva to ship things fast, the frame of mind that I take in order to make sure I am making the right decisions as well as a few examples of ways the iOS team has been able to save precious development time and make sure we are delivering the best experience to our users.
