Explore how cognitive biases, emotional traps, and mental load influence software development in this 53-minute keynote presentation from Devoxx. Discover why your most challenging bugs might originate in your mind rather than your code, examining how psychological factors like Impostor Syndrome and the Shiny Object Effect impact every line of code you write and every design decision you debate. Learn to identify the hidden psychological forces that drive technical work, understand why intelligent teams sometimes make irrational choices, and develop strategies to build psychological awareness into your engineering culture. Gain practical insights on how to outsmart your own cognitive limitations, improve team dynamics, make better architecture decisions, enhance debugging approaches, and ultimately ship superior software through collaborative psychological awareness.
