Why the Designer Failed FizzBuzz
Type of Presentation
Description
I’m one of those hybrid designer/developers. Unicorn? No. I failed FizzBuzz in an interview as a result of a self-taught skill-set and an ambiguous job posting. Does that mean I’m not a “real” developer? To some yes, to others no. Then what do I call myself? Am I a liar, a fake? Whatever the case, I’m not alone here.
This isn’t the impostor syndrome. It’s the result of an industry in its awkward twenties; it’s identity crisis and it’s ego. We aren’t fakes, we just don’t know how to accurately communicate our skills. In this talk, I’ll start by reviewing the heated responses to an article I wrote about the above scenario. Then I’ll propose a four part lexicon for job titles and descriptions in the web industry; a vocabulary that both standardizes our roles, yet allows for the rapidly changing nature of what we do. Whether or not my lexicon is the one that works, let’s start talking about it.
