So much great information in this talk. Ed shifted focus the emphasis away from technical prowess and to a more holistic approach to team work. Yes, knowing how to code is important, but that's a small part of what makes a developer great. I walked away with a better appreciation for these other important aspects of my work.
On top of the great content, Ed had a really sincere presentational style. I love talks like this. **Bonus points for the C64 font. Not going to be tribalistic here but Atari 130XEs were technologically superior in every way /end troll.
Anyone can be a great technical developer. Ed's talk covers what it means to be a great human being in the world of development. This message is very important and Ed drove it home well. I took several things away from this talk, and really enjoyed how Ed was able to inject his own personality into the talk.
I thoroughly enjoyed this talk. It's a great follow up to his "Open Sourcing Mental Illness" talk. They complement each other very well. Ed is a great speaker and always willing to engage the audience during the talk. I found it very easy to relate to many of his own personal experiences that he expressed during the talk, and opened my eyes on how I can be more empathetic towards my peers.

Great talk. Ed elucidated and spoke about many concepts that we often ignore in our quests to be better developers.
