Keynote
Software Engineering Towards Sustainable Empathic Capacities
As software developers, designers and architects, we pride ourselves on the products that we deliver to stakeholders and customers. Nowadays, we are gracious to live in a time, day and age, where we have a plethora of technologies, techniques and positive approaches that can deliver "the dent in the universe". We can build great software for all people, however, we must remember that we work with all people in our teams.
In this talk, an excursion on a lived-experience to minor creative genius, we will entertain two aspects of our future. Our journey is fraught with the peril of seemingly unexplained events, life-changes, circumstances and situations and even danger that means we pivot in our careers. Secondly, nearly everything that we have learnt about the software industry history, has been pointing the vector of progress and innovation towards the Empath. An understanding of empathy is about being human. Humanity is the heart of software engineering.
