In the first episode of the new season, I talk about Problem-Solving skills and strategies for developers. As we all have a common goal of solving problems with software, improving our skills and using various strategies are crucial.

I talk about a clear strategy to solve almost any problem we face. We can solve problems in five steps.

1. Find out the real problem
2. Clarify the problem and expectations
3. Simplify the problem
4. Create potential solutions
5. Merge and evaluate solutions

In five steps, you can solve many problems—big or small.
