Reflections:
Sam: One’s ability to solve problems as a technical person depends as much on one’s social network and social skills as it does on technical knowledge.
Jamey: You can affect things about yourself by being mindful of facts about your body.
John: Teams and effectiveness: People you work with are important.
Rein: In the future, we’ll realize that the code we wrote was a very small and unimportant artifact of what we’re doing as communities and cultures.
Oliver: Engaging with others who think about these things and who realize how high the stakes are.
