Tiger Alert: Better Run Away!

Our brains have been finely tuned by evolution over hundreds of generations for one primary purpose: survival. This evolutionary legacy has endowed us with certain cognitive traits that, while once life-saving, can now inadvertently create significant challenges in the realm of software development and architecture.

In this keynote, we will explore some of these quirky brain phenomena and draw parallels to typical scenarios in software development.

Understanding these brain traits has earned some researchers Nobel Prizes—and offers us, in software development, valuable insights into systematically improving our own work habits and architectural decisions.

Join us for a journey through the fascinating quirks of our minds and discover how a better understanding of our cognitive biases can lead to smarter, more effective software architecture. Plus, you’ll get some entertaining anecdotes along the way—after all, who doesn’t enjoy a good brain story?
