Injustice - Developers Among Us (SciFiDevCon 2024)

Most of us don’t wear capes to work. Most of us don’t have colleagues who are tricked by supervillains into killing their wives and blowing up their cities.

However, some, if not most, of us have colleagues who think of themselves as heroes, but if they would take a step back and ask how others see them, they might be surprised to hear they are the unintentional villains of the story.

In this talk from SciFiDevCon 2024 I’ll go over some of the worst ways developers may harm their teams and colleagues while meaning well, and how those who try to keep them grounded are the real unsung heroes of software development.
