"Compassion++: Soft Skills for Hard Problems"
As developers, we spend much of our time interacting with cold, emotionless machines. However, it's important to remember that we, as humans, are emotional and imperfect beings. Many of the habits that serve us well in our technical tasks-like binary thinking, fault-finding, and prioritizing efficiency-may hinder our effectiveness with fellow humans. Treating people like machines can lead to unproductive conflict, failed projects, and even burnout.
In this session, you'll learn strategies for navigating the human aspects of your daily work. We'll explore practical methods for cultivating compassion for ourselves, our teams, and society as a whole. In an era marked by rapid change, conflict, and uncertainty, compassion is an essential skill to help software developers thrive.
