A talk about what makes a 'super developer', challenging common perceptions by arguing that the best developers are those who are 'slow' (thoughtful), 'selfish' (maintain work-life balance), 'lazy' (avoid repetitive code), like to argue (engage in healthy debate), and write 'bad' code (embrace imperfection and learning). The speaker emphasizes the importance of personal wellbeing, setting boundaries, and avoiding toxic hustle culture in development.
A talk about the positive uses of friction in design and user experiences. The speaker challenges the common assumption that all friction is bad, arguing that intentional friction can lead to better outcomes. Using examples from Pet Rescue's platform, where breed search is intentionally omitted, the talk demonstrates how friction can promote ethical design choices and create positive social change.
