It’s a great time to be in technology. Computers keep getting better. More and more devices keep getting connected to the internet. Javascript frameworks are multiplying like bacteria. And yet despite the improvement in our tools, we somehow don’t spend time talking about how to maintain our most important tool - the one between our ears.
Constantly feeling worn down, experiencing anxiety over making decisions, and burning out are not just facts of a developer’s life! They’re challenges that can be dealt with. In this talk we’ll cover the most common mental health challenges facing developers, and then learn about some techniques to supercharge your brain by improving your mental hygiene (whether you have a psychological disorder or not). Most importantly, you’ll learn how to have a conversation with your coworkers (and other people in your life) about supporting each other and finding your best selves.

It’s a great time to be in technology. And yet despite the improvement in our tools, we somehow don’t spend time talking about how to maintain our most important tool - the one between our ears. Your mental health is arguably the single most important factor in your ability to perform well, avoid burnout, and build resiliency, but we shroud the topic in secrecy, stigma, and co-opted clinical language that makes us think we know what's going on. We often don't even speak of what we feel to family and friends until we're facing a crisis.
We need to change all of that. You don't have to stay in the dark, and you *don't* have to suffer alone. In this talk we’ll start with some basics about mental health, then cover the most common mental health challenges facing developers, and then learn about some techniques to supercharge your brain by improving your mental hygiene (whether you have a psychological disorder or not).

The ability to learn things is an essential part of the developer’s toolkit, which is only getting more important as we march into the future. New technologies and new tools are released constantly. Even if you’re on a fixed tech stack on a long-running project, you need to evaluate and adapt to new versions of your tools and new software idioms as they're released.
The thing is, we’re never really taught HOW to learn things - we’re expected to just figure it out ourselves. It is my opinion that this is Really Terrible. If you share that opinion, do something about it by coming to this talk! Do you wonder about learning types? We'll cover those. Do you wonder how learning a new framework is different than learning best practices for that framework? We’ll discuss that, too! We’ll also talk about the neuroscience of learning, how your brain connects cause and effect, the tricks your memory plays on you, and more. By the end, you’ll hopefully have the tools you need to learn anything efficiently and effectively.

Impostor Syndrome is a quiet and subversive force in a lot of developer's lives. They feel like they're faking their way through their job, and they silently panic as they wait for everyone to find out they don't really know what they're doing. It can be crippling, and left alone it can develop into an anxiety disorder, or worse. If you can relate, or even if you just want to learn how to be a little more confident in yourself, come and listen as we cover what Impostor Syndrome is, some theories why it happens, and strategies you can use to eliminate it (that's right, you actually can)!

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Sometimes they don’t quite work the way we want. When that happens we often say that there’s a “mental illness”
But often really what’s going on is that your brain is kind of fighting itself – its internal physical and psychological structures aren’t playing together nicely and we see this as behavioral symptoms
What makes all of this worse is two things: a social stigma against “crazy people”…
…. Which makes it impossible to develop an actual language to talk about our experiences.

This means that mental health issues can come and go! i.e. episodic or chronic.
DALYs = Disability-Adjusted Life Years – the # of years lost to the illness/disability for that population
They have a lot of different names!
Ask this question out loud
The DSM V is the “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders”, 5th edition. It’s the Big Book of the Ways Your Brain Breaks
But it’s not focused on WHY something is happening – it’s focused on diagnostic criteria… aka, symptoms. Each diagnosis in the DSM is basically just a checklist of symptoms. If you have 5 of 8 of the symptoms, or 6 of 9, or whatever, you qualify as having the diagnosis.
And really it’s been criticized as more like a field guide to birds – something that’s more useful for categorizing and logging crazies in your spotting book than for actually helping anything
In fact, many of the more common diagnoses require the effects to have a minimum duration or intensity before the clinician can diagnose it
Some of the diagnoses are really just extensions of normal human experiences into places where they start to dramatically and negatively effect the person’s daily life
The human brain is the most complex system we’ve ever encountered
Talking about reality/truth
Clinical language seeped its way into popular culture because there was a void of any actual discussion about it

Put type descs above these slides
“I” statements
You are in control here.
Include relationships?
What feelings are happening in this moment?
What thoughts are happening in this moment?
This fits in with a lot of modern neurobiology & psychology about unconscious systems
Yeah, I know.
Basically a workbook version of figuring out what support you need and when
Not just Freud anymore
Anyone who is dealing with problems they feel are bigger than them can use therapy
It’s a whole toolbox of techniques
