Great software gets created by smart and motivated engineers. But between burndown charts, HR processes, and design methodologies, we often forget humans. This talk will discuss how evolution has created humans to be anything but good software engineers, how our thinking often fails us, how emotions could mean more to professional success than IQ, and what managers can do about it.
