What a wonderful time I had at LeadDev StaffPlus ! Speakers, workshops, guided discussions, meeting countless other people, handing out question cards… all so good!

Here I am on stage:

Many thanks to the organizers and staff for putting together a fantastic event.

Us vs. Them Talk & Slides

I was fortunate to speak on the StaffPlus stage. I spoke about my experiences with "Us vs. Them" thinking.

The most common question I got after the talk was: "So, what happened next?!" Oops! I didn't mean for it to be a cliffhanger!

As I was preparing my "recap" slides below, I realized that the talk stopped at the moment where I had learned the takeaway lesson. But there's more! I added an epilogue and some other Q&A below.

Book

As I mentioned during the talk, I'm writing a book on the "human" side of being a developer. To keep posted, see some draft content, and have opportunities to send me feedback, sign up for my mailing list here:

Connecting & Cards

If you were there and we connected (or if you wanted to connect and didn't get a chance!), find me on LinkedIn and say hello.

When you reach out, tell me about one of the other talks or events you liked best from the conference.

I was also handing out cards and stickers…

If you drew a card, feel free to drop me a note on LinkedIn ("everyone's favorite social network!") to share your thoughts!

I put the card questions online here.
