Why None Of Us Are As Good As We Think We Are And What To Do About It: Lessons From Dreyfus and Dunning-Kruger

December's speaker is Alan Stevens (@alanstevens) from Knoxville. Alan's a dynamic speaker who will challenge your ideas on the way you work and code, and is one of the people responsible for CodeStock. Here's the abstract of Alan's talk:

What is expertise? How do we tell who has it? How do we gain it? Why doesn't everyone get better with experience? These are the questions we will examine in this session. Along the way, we'll discuss writing COBOL in any language, Tiger Woods, mastery, comfort zones, the Zen of fast horses and why it takes ten thousand hours to become an expert. Join us as we take a big picture view of what it takes to get from where you are to where you want to be in your technical expertise.

We're going to meet at Microsoft to provide enough room for a larger group. The Guild will be probably be helping promote the event, too.
