Description:
The tech industry has undergone significant changes in recent years, including an increase in remote collaboration, the emergence of new AI tools, and waves of economic uncertainty. While it’s an exciting time, these disruptions have also led to feelings of fear, isolation, overwhelm, and burnout in developer communities. How are we supposed to keep up? How do we embrace change while preserving what truly matters? Code doesn’t care how much we change it, but humans can struggle with perpetual change. Thankfully, we can harness our human skills of curiosity, creativity, and compassion to navigate change effectively. We can use these skills to bolster our resilience, connect with supportive communities, and help ensure that we’re not just responding to change but also contributing to positive change in our industry and world.
