This talk from QCon San Francisco 2024 challenges senior software engineers to rethink their approach to risk and unlock bold innovation. Drawing inspiration from historical breakthroughs and space exploration achievements like the Mars Rover, Khawaja Shams provides a framework for taking calculated "RISCs" – grounded in passion and focused on maximizing upside while minimizing potential downsides. The 40-minute presentation is structured around three key frameworks: "Think Bigger" (focusing on the upside), "Derisk" (implementing smart strategies for managing risk), and "Be Wrong, a Lot" (embracing the power of iteration). Learn the mindset shift needed for bold engineering and discover practical approaches to champion technical innovation while managing risks effectively.
