Closing Keynote
summary
Argues that software needs equal attention to computering and humaning plus security, based on interviews with experienced developers and psychology research. Reports surprising code smells: five different linked list implementations and about a dozen near-duplicate string-passing routines, plus a 300-line UDP/TCP pair. Recommends automation (scripts that encode tacit setup steps), respectful code reviews, using workshop “cards” to surface team practices, and simple passwords like three random words rather than inventing crypto or following YAGNI misconceptions. Materials and facilitation are available online.
