Abstract:

​Many have ended up in their career, whether it is by choice or by circumstances, in which they become sole developer who becomes the go­to guy for anything about infrastructure. They become the linchpin in the development team and fighting the fires on the servers. This is especially true in start ups or agency work where resources are limited and the pace is fast. This talk will suggest some guidelines such developer can follow to survive and grow in such an environment.
