​Abstract

​What if your worst bugs aren’t in the code but in your head?

​Cognitive biases, emotional traps, and mental load silently shape every line we write and every design we argue over. From impostor syndrome to the Shiny Object Effect, our psychology impacts team dynamics, architecture decisions, and even how we debug.

​In this keynote, we’ll unpack the hidden forces behind technical work—why smart teams make irrational choices and how to build awareness into your engineering culture. Learn to outsmart your brain and ship better software together.
