Challenging the stereotype: reframing our image
How well do you and those around you fit the stereotypical appearance and characteristics of a software developer? I definitely don’t.
In this talk, I discuss the deeply ingrained traits attributed to developers and the need to change that collective image. A transformation significant to all of us. How can we present our image more accurately?
Weaving in personal experience, I shine light on underexposed aspects of our profession that may help challenge the stereotype. Let’s reframe our image together!
