Book Party: What’s Next for the Psychology of Software Teams

​I'm hosting a belated celebration for the launch of Psychology of Software Teams!! Come be in community with me and your fellow POST squad.

This is a casual, warm Zoom hangout (think happy hour) for anyone who's supported my work over the past few years. Brand new reader or long-time listener, you are welcome here as long as you're interested in advancing good psychology and thriving in technology.

Come to share any questions or thoughts about the book, hear about what's next on the research agenda, or simply share and support other people you know are interested in better psychology for software and tech. You won't be put on the spot and are welcome to quietly listen, but I won't be preparing some formal presentation, so this is discussion-oriented.

Please check your inbox, as invites might go to spam! :)

Live event only: to allow for comfort and freedom discussing psychology, I will not be recording this.

Code of Conduct & Vibe Expectations: we will follow this code of conduct. https://www.recurse.com/code-of-conduct

Additionally, I'd like to ask you to join me in a "coalitions over conflicts" approach to this time. This is a tough and stressful time in tech for a lot of us, and for this hour together, let's focus on building bridges and community rather than rants and vents. Raising tough topics is allowed but conversation-ending rants are not and you will be asked to reframe (e.g.: implying that everything is hopeless or no positive actions matter).

Some questions to think about:
- What do you think is next for the psychology of software teams?
- If you had your own psychologist on staff, what do you want studied about your (or your team's/org's) developer experience right now?
- Knowing you're in a community of folks who also care about this, what do you want advice for or more support on?
