Eric Johnson - Principal Developer Advocate for Serverless at AWS

ABSTRACT
The last decade has seen massive changes in the way humans communicate. Between the popularity of social media and the isolation of the pandemic, we are losing the art of civil debate and gracious discourse. But all is not lost!
In this session, Eric takes a light-hearted approach to the serious topic of rediscovering humanity in tech. He challenges today’s common discourse that holds little regard for nuance and the toll it is taking on the technical community. Eric will also challenge you to explore three dimensional interactions where two dimensional exchanges have become the norm. By the end of this session you will have laughed, possibly cried, but hopefully understood the grace we extend and the mercy we receive as fellow humans in tech [...]
