The Developer's Edge: A Knowledge-Sharing Session for Nigeria's Emerging Tech Talent

Session Overview

NYSC Global Talent Session With Adeola In today’s world, modern development teams are highly collaborative, not siloed. Gone are the days when developers could sit in isolation and focus only on writing code. Now, teams are made up of people with diverse skills—designers, product managers, QA engineers, and business stakeholders—and collaboration among these roles is essential to deliver a successful product.

As developers, we also find ourselves interacting not just with our immediate teams but with stakeholders, clients, and even end-users. This means being able to understand their needs, communicate effectively, and adapt our solutions to align with the bigger picture. This level of interaction goes far beyond just technical skills—it requires empathy, adaptability, and the ability to simplify complex ideas.
