Level up: The super dev

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.
